override question

Getting ready to move to a new host (goodby eig) and I am just going to start from scratch with a new zen cart. I dont think I did this right last time and I want to do it right now. I have read the template and override tutorials probably 10 times each and I still dont quite understand if I should name my override files the same as my template.

Lets say I am going to use the template "westminster new" for my stores theme. Would I name my new override files "custom" or should I name it the same name as the template "westminster new" I plan on using?
If I named it custom and then installed the westminster new template will it know what to do ?

Re: override question

You should call the override folders the same as the folder name you use for the template. Then Zen Cart will automatically pick those folders up as overrides
