Editing Templates with Your Favorite Editor
LiveCart uses a slightly different way of managing files than other shopping carts or scripts in general. There are two sets of template files:- /application/view - default template files
- /storage/customize/view - customized template files
Such a system is used to make updates easier - updating the default template files will never change your customized templates. When rendering a page, LiveCart will always use a template from /storage/customize/view, if it is available - otherwise a default template file from /application/view will be used.
So, when editing files, you shouldn't edit the /application/view files directly, but instead store them to /storage/customize/view.
For example, if you want to edit the home page template, you would take it from /application/view/index/index.tpl, but upload the modified file to /storage/customize/view/index/index.tpl. You can also create an initial copy of the template file in the /storage/customize/view directory by saving the template file from backend or using the Live Customization tool.
