Please create your own custom folders before you go too far. Editing the files in the classic folders is unwise since those files will be overwritten with an upgrade/update.
This list is a bit outdated, but it'll give you an idea where to start to create a very basic custom template (you can build from there):
- includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
- includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php <- may not be necessary
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php <- may not be necessary
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif (or .jpg or .png)
- includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css
Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.
Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.
