Something that annoys me with Zencart is having the templates folder in the /includes folder. Its just one extra annoying step in my editor to navigate down to the template files.

So I tried moving it to the root... IT WORKED!

Updated the following in the config:
Code:
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');
to
Code:
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES',  'templates/');
Don't know if there are any side effects yet.
