overriding jscript_form_check.php

[mrbert]

Hi
I got some of my overrides working and got the Idea I started to understand.
No I trie to override the jscript_form_check.php
in
/webshop/includes/modules/pages/create_account/
so I created
/webshop/includes/modules/pages/create_account/CUSTOM/
and copied the jscript_form_check.php from the original folder and editted that file
and also:

/webshop/includes/modules/pages/login/
so I created
/webshop/includes/modules/pages/login/CUSTOM/
and copied the jscript_form_check.php from the original folder and editted that file

When I replace the file in the original folder I can see my changes work.
But when I try them in the custom folder nothing happens:S

Where did I go wrong??

Files in modules/pages are not overridable.

Keep a copy of the changed file in your "custom" directory even though the override doesn't apply. At least the changed files will be isolated making them easy to find.

Use a convention that's memorable to you. What I do is rename the original file "<filename>.orig."
Then at upgrade time, I do a find on all the *.orig files, and I know what I need to worry about.

Good luck,

... or just do a text-compare between an original untouched fileset vs your actual live customized fileset.
