Just a quick question on doing over-rides. I am trying to install the following addon - "Contact_Us - Subject Mod V2". One of the files that I need to install has the following format :
includes/modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php
I think this file should be installed as an override and I should not overwrite the original file. Actually, I did try an override and placed it in the following folder:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/pages/contact_us/header_php.php
This didn't seem to work. I believe the correct placement should be the following:
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header_php.php
Just wondering if someone with experience can verify this for me. I did purchase the Zen Cart manual and have been pouring over it for the last few days. Its instructions and those that came with the manual haven't been explicit enough to assist me with the particular problem. So any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Override vs Overwrite for modules/pages files
Non-answers are frustrating. I will look, but I've used the search function, read through the manual, and spent quite a bit of time framing my question. If you've read a topic where my question could be answered, at least give a link.
Thank you for at least replying to my question. I do not mean to be rude.

Re: Override vs Overwrite for modules/pages files
Short answer: No. There are no overrides for /includes/modules/pages/ files/folders.

Re: Override vs Overwrite for modules/pages files
Thank you Dr. Byte. I do have a copy of the original Zen Cart on my computer, so I have a copy of the original file. I will have to come up with a good system for keeping track of the Add On files that I install so I can put them back in place in case of an upgrade. I appreciate your time.

Re: Override vs Overwrite for modules/pages files
If you read the threads below, as Kim suggested, you'll see approaches others have taken to handle that.
Indeed I'm sure that's why she answered as she did, since reading those threads will give you the information I did as well as what you seek..
