safe to use new tpl files?

OK. recently finally did an upgrade, so running 1.3.8a
with no mods at this time...

I've had a few little issues crop up related to our custom template..

usually traced to the tpl files in the
\xxxxx\store\includes\templates\our tmeplate name\templates\

folder

I did not do the original custom template.

I'm using win merge to go through these.. and after several files, the only differences that I can find are upgraded coding, not really anything to do with the custom template...

is it relatively safe to say that none of the tpl files would have been modified for a custom template?

Question make sense?

Thanks for everything

Actually, tpl_ files are among the likeliest candidates for customizing. You need to make sure there is no custom content in them before deleting; of course, once you determine that there is no custom content, you should delete them.

It might be easier to use a fileset from the ZC version you had to run winmerge against. That way, you don't have to compare the details - if there is no custom content, there will be no differences.
