    Default Layout of override files

    Can someone please give me a chart or layout of what my overide system files should look like? I want to make sure I have all my edited files in the right place in case I ever want to upgrade or change templates. Thanks!

    Default Re: Layout of override files

    Awesome! That was a huge help! I added the directories I was missing...now, if you have the patience for yet another question...I need to know where the following EDITED files go...Just to be sure I have them in the right places....(I have been having some trouble changing the name of page 2. I don't think I have the files in the right directories):

    Where do the following EDITED files go:

    header.php
    english.php
    index.php
    page_2.php
    print_stylesheet.css
    stylesheet.css
    stylesheet_css_buttons.css

    Thanks for your help!

    Glad that helped!

    I'm assuming (never assume anything!) that you're customizing header.php from your includes/languages/english folder? The structure would be like this, using
    your_template_name as an example of what your custom template folder is named:

    includes/languages/your_template_name/english.php
    includes/languages/english/your_template_name/header.php
    includes/languages/english/your_template_name/index.php
    includes/templates/your_template_name/css/*.css

    Tell us more about what you're trying to do with page_2? Have you looked at the
    About Us contribution in the downloads here?:

    It's really great if you're trying to add additonal links to your sideboxes.

    Sorry...

    that you're customizing header.php from your includes/languages/english folder?
    I should have said header.php and index.php.

    Thank you so much for all your help! As soon as I moved the english.php to the right directory, my page 2 name changed! I KNEW I didn't have something right! Thank you so much! I love the support from this site. Everyone is so kind and willing to help one another! What is the general rule for filing these edited files then? Do you normally keep them in the same area they are in but just move them into the corresponding "your template name" directory?

    No. Copy the original file to "your_template' dir., make your edits then upload. Remember also that your Hosting directories/paths must be identical to the ones on your computer. And if you don't have a complete backup of your Zen Cart directories & files, right now would be a good time to download them.

    Best to do your edits on your computer then upload the changed file. That way, you always have two complete copies in case something goes wrong. If your personal computer gets toasted your Hosting account becomes your backup. If your Hosting account gets toasted your personal computer is your backup.

    Just to let everyone at ZenCart know that the support site is great! I have managed to work out most everything (Thanks to the manual!) but was having some real issues with the Custom or Magic Override set up. The question raised by the zenner on 1/27/08 got the responses needed at my end! Love that Chart. It must have been buried in the archives! (smile). Thanks all!
