Overriding files

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey!

I wonder why I can't ovveride files in /concrete/elements/. When I copy them to /elements/ and modify them there, nothing happens! It works with the header_required.php but now I'm modifying block_header_view.php but I can't see no change. Don't like editing in the /concrete/ folder because then it's hard to keep track of what's my code and C5's, and then I'll overwrite it by mistake all the time.

Is there any solution for my (tiny) little problem? And thanks for a great product and a great community.

/ Alejandro

Some elements are just included using include() statements rather than using Loader::element(). This is an oversight and something we'll probably tweak as we move forward.

OK, I thought that maybe there's a setting for this or something I'm doing wrong. I'll edit in /concrete/ (and take a backup, of course...) until this "problem" is fixed then.

Thanks.
