Override help for clueless noob?
Hi there, i'm a total noob and I'm at the stage where I have a template I like installed but wish to overide the default images with my own.
In the includes folder I have the template I like (plus classic and template default.) I have also created a 'custom' template folder which contains the directories 'common', 'css', 'images', 'sideboxes' and 'templates'. In the templates folder is tpl_account_default.php which I have modified slightly to take account of my authorship. Also the images folder contains the images I would like replacing. They are named the same as the images they are to replace. The 'css' folder and tpl_account_default.php were copied from the template_default directory.
The question I would like to ask is what do I need to do next to get the override to work? The custom template does not yet show up as an option in the template selection. I believe that this is what I need to happen, although I'm not certain of this because if I do that I don't understand how zen cart will know which of the templates in the includes directory it is supposed to override.
Do I need to put the template_info.php from the template I prefer into my custom template folder? Also it seems possible that really I should have copied the 'css' folder from the template I prefer that from template_default. I've had a look around for answers and I'm still none the wiser. Anyway thanks for reading, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
