Override issue...don't understand

I have the override system working in most every place. However, I created a directory named with my template name in the includes/templates/default_template/templates folder and copied the includes/templates/default_template/templates files into it. Sadly, it won't use the file in the classic_hats (my template name) directory, only the one in the templates directory above it.

What am I missing?

you need to create a whole template structure that is paralell with template_default
you need to have includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/templates

Oh, let me try that. Thanks. This sure is a lot to learn, but I love Zen Cart so far. Appreciate the help.

glad to be of service

I need to get a plane and just fly west so the sun never sets.. LOL then I wouldnt get yelled at for never sleeping.

I'm now trying to change something in this file:
includes/modules/payment/paypal.php

I created this file: includes/modules/payment/classic_hats/paypal.php
and edited that one, but it's not reading it. What am I doing wrong?

What are you trying to change in the PayPal module?

I'm trying to turn off shipping option in paypal. I made the change I found in the main file to test it and it worked. But if I made it in the override file it ignores it (if I put the original file back to normal)

This thread explains what I changed:

There are no overrides for files in the includes/modules/payment folder.

Ah, well that explains it! thanks!
