Override of includes/modules/pages

In the catalog, no good way to override catalog/includes/modules/pages/somescreen/header.php using the override system, right? I don't see any override for that. So, I'd need to blast the real version.

True?

Steve,

You are correct about no header.php override - however - it depends on what you are doing whether you actually need to change it or if you can add additional main_template_vars or use another system.

What are you wanting to do?

I am adding more edit checks to check new variables passed from the checkout_payment screen. Just like how it redirects you back to the payment screen if you do not check the terms box, same idea for a bunch of new fields I needed to add.

The existing header_php.php file is the right place to do that.

Yes, it did appear this way.

So, here's hoping the override system is expanded to include the pages directory!

an override for this would be amazing, i'm making custom images for the entire zen cart template and those damn pages are making it difficult. i sure could use an override for those pages

Um ... custom images have nothing to do with the /includes/modules/pages folder.
Templates and their corresponding images go in your template-override folder.

If you are wanting specific background images for specific pages, you can use Smart Backgrounds and not have to edit any of the page files.

I'm customizing all the button images in zen cart. I'm adding mouseover, mouseout, and mousedown effects, i'm doing alright except for the update quantities image after you've added the product to your cart. That image is a son of a gun, any ideas?

there's no way to send parameters with the update qty button except for in the header_php.php file in the modules/pages/shopping_cart directory

so if i could override that it would be fine, but i cant so now i have to go and edit that file which may mess up my updates???

You'll have to edit the file directly. If you're altering everything to process additional parameters, then you'll no doubt have to be adjusting other non-override files too anyway.
And, as with all files (including your override files), when you upgrade, you'll need to compare yours against the original/master files to identify your changes and merge the new with the old, anyway. So, the lack of an override capability at that level is entirely moot anyway.
