Hi,

Been reading all the docs, posts, etc…, and absorbing the information. I am looking for some guidance as some of the docs and forum posts point to different solutions for template customization.

If one wanted to future proof upgrades to the framework, and a commercial template, what is the best approach to customization? Should the edits be made at the local/themes level? Is that best?

Same scenario, but now add additional extensions. Should the edits be made at the local/themes level? Is that still the best?

Thanks in advance for the guidance.

Hello bkmja,

To the edits be made at the local/themes level? Is that best?

Of course, if you don’t edit at the local/themes level, it will be erase when update next version.

Thank you for the confirmation. Next question is procedure clarification regarding the same issue.

Is the procedure to make a copy of an exisitng theme folder from the commercial template core/themes directory, for example purple-color, and drop it into the local/themes directory? In effect, you will have two purple-color themes in different directories, and the local/themes verison will override the original one. Does this sound correct?

Thanks again for the clarification.
