Custom template not being used
September 02, 2011, 11:09:33 am
I created a customized version of templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/ThankYou.tpl and placed it in /var/www/drupal/files/civicrm/templates/ and added that same path to the Global Settings > Directories > Custom Templates. I made a pretty obvious modification but Civi is still using the default template. I ran
Code: [Select]
chmod -R 777 filesJust to see if it was some kind of permissions issue but that did not correct it either. Any thoughts on what might be keeping Civi from using the custom template?

Have you created a similar copy of the full file path within the custom templates directory? i.e.

.../templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/ThankYou.tpl should be customised and stored (on your system) in /var/www/drupal/files/civicrm/templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/ThankYou.tpl

Any other customisations should follow the same concept.

Another thing, I wouldn't recommend 777 for anything...

That was the problem! Thanks so much for pointing that out to me
