OK, so I'm a newbie. I purchased the PDF version of the book and I am trying to do a template override. According to the book I just create a new file folder, includes/templates/newdirectory. In the example they say to copy the contents of the includes/templates/classic directory to this new directory. They then advise you to modify the template_info.php file to reflect the new directory name, creator, purpose.
I did all this, and no additional changes and I assumed that when I selected this template from Tools, Template Selection that everything would be the same as I had not changed anything else. Once I selected the new template and did a refresh the side boxes were gone as well as the standard message from the header. Sorry for all the information but I wanted to supply as much as possible.
I thought that the override only affected the standard configuration files that were changed, am I wrong in that assumption? Do I need to copy all the files from the template default directory over to the new template directory? Are there other files or options in the ADMIN area that I need to notify of the new template? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using V1.3.9f with GoDaddy as the host.
