I do visual basic, delphi, and C++ programming and I do not understand the logic of the override system at all yet.

When I do what you suggested, I get nothing but a blank screen when I follow your suggestion to edit the template_info.php file and then reset everything. The reset button also turns sideboxes back on that I had turned off.
I don't know if this will help, but here is a quick overview of how the override system should be set up.


includes/languages/english/mytemplate
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mytemplate
includes/languages/english/html_includes/mytemplate
includes/modules/mytemplate
includes/modules/sideboxes/mytemplate
includes/templates/mytemplate

Any files that you edit should then be saved into your custom directory.

Within the includes/templates/mytemplate you should have the following directories

includes/templates/mytemplate/template_info.php
includes/templates/mytemplate/common
includes/templates/mytemplate/css
includes/templates/mytemplate/images
includes/templates/mytemplate/templates

You can copy the changes you made in the includes/templates/classic into the appropriate directories in your custom directory
