OK, so I have created duplicates of certain files under my template's HTML folder, so that I can modify them and not worry about the original files being overwritten every time I update. How do I know what files can be duplicated like this, and how do I determine how to structure the file system under HTML to make this work? For example, I have successfully made a duplicate of the following file:

public_html/n2/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/profile/focus.php
into the following folder:
public_html/n2/templates/protostar/html/com_community/layouts/profile/focus.php

This allows me to modify my HTML folder version and leave the original alone. So again, how do I determine which files I can do this with? How do I determine where to place them within my HTML folder? For example, I now need to modify this file:

public_html/n2/components/com_community/views/profile/view.html.php

but I have no idea where to place it within my HTML folder to make it work properly. Please help me understand how to do this and how to determine where they go in HTML. Thanks!

PS - By the way, if there is a better forum section to place this question, please let me know where. Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

You only can override any file inside templates file and you cant do the similiar override method on views file :)

To modify views file you should modify it directly..

thank you!
