Idiot Who May have Gone Too Far...!

Hi,

I have been messing around with Zen and love it.

The problem I have is that I've done quite a lot using the classic template. Now I have read that I should have copied folders and made a custom template!!

This become more apparant when I've tried to alter the size of the header_bg image and find that its not in the stylesheet.css

Any ideas how to help or suggestions? Please, no telling me to read the postings more closely!!!

Thanks.

I think you really do know the answer. :)

Re: Idiot Who May have Gone Too Far...!

But is it too late to do that after the fact?

No, it is never too late.

Re: Idiot Who May have Gone Too Far...!

Why would it be too late? Do you remember what you changed? Even if you don't, you can start with what you do remember and work from there. Just create folders in the right places (you pick any name you like) and start copying the files you changed into them.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

Once you do that, you should be able to locate other files. You can even check the dates on files and judge that way.

Re: Idiot Who May have Gone Too Far...!

Thanks everyone. I got it resolved by changing all the classic folders to my own template name.
