Override for includes/modules/pages?

[dbrewster]

Taking this upgrade opportunity to improve my grasp of the override system.

I did find this in the Wiki, but I am yet uncertain of its interpretation for my example below.

Wherever you see a folder named "classic" you can safely add your own /CUSTOM folder.

    modules
        classic
        CUSTOM

Does this mean that if I have a customization for the checkout confirmation page, I can do this:

includes/modules/[MY_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE]/pages/checkout_confirmation/header.php

?

Muchas gracias.

includes/modules/[MY_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE]/pages/checkout_confirmation/header.php

Sorry, no it does not.

thanks for the speedy reply, Kim!

Saved me some bumbling-around time.

Kim, are you saying the overrides can only be one level deep?

i.e.
/includes/modules/*.php
can be replaced in
/includes/modules/custom/*.php

and

/includes/modules/sideboxes/*.php
can be replaced in
/includes/modules/sideboxes/custom/*.php

In includes/modules/sideboxes, there's a "classic" directory. This is your clue that the directory can be overridden. The directory includes/modules/pages does not have a classic subdirectory and cannot be overridden, so be sure to make a backup of (and notes about) any files you change.

The things you can change in includes/modules/custom are files from includes/modules, such as column_left.php.

Good luck,

And do I understand correctly, 'template_default' is the exception to the rule?

i.e.
any file / dir. within the 'template_default' dir. can be copied over, or are we restricted to just 4: common, css, images, templates, and their subsequent files?

. The directory includes/modules/pages does not have a classic subdirectory and cannot be overridden, so be sure to make a backup of (and notes about) any files you change.

Why is that ? I just came across this trying to be Zen-like and come to find I can't. Is there plans on using overrides here in the future?
