    Default Define Pages Editor Not Using Overrides?

    I must be missing something and can't seem to find anything in the forums...

    My define pages editor is wanting to edit the default files and not my override files. How do I change this?

    The permissions on your override directory needs to be 777 for editing.

    Remember to re-set the permissions to 644 on the files and directories after editing.

    Ok so that actually didn't work. It worked for like a second, but only the files from the default template are showing up in admin, and if I delete them all, then it goes to the classic template....

    I have found that if I manually copy define_xxx.php to my template directory (/includes/languages/english/html_includes/my_template/), the define pages editor will then use that as the version to work on.

    That's correct ... if the file doesn't exist in both places, it won't be editable as an override
