Cool Cloning 3-columns skin

I'm trying to modify the 3-column skin. I'm copying the 3-columns directory as myskin. I look inside and there is only two files inside.

-rw-r--r-- 1 107 107 211 2010-07-14 21:58 altskin.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 107 107 35653 2010-05-21 16:31 screenshot.png

How does that work?! the other skins directories have css, customer, images etc. But this one only has two files.

How is it all connected to produce the 3 column full page width layout? Does it some how link with 2-column and common_files folder?

Thanks

Default Re: Cloning 3-columns skin

Hello

To make changes in 3-Columns directory.

1. Select 3-Col Template from Admin.
2. Edit files in Folder "Your Root/skin/common_files/customer/"

I am working on my new domain in 3-Column Template.

Regards
Kashif

Thanks, but I would like to leave that folder alone so I can refer back to the original anytime. I like to create a complete new skin folder "myskin" and make any changes in there myself.

Default Re: Cloning 3-columns skin

make anew folder call it whatever you want. Myskin or superhappyskinfolder5000

copy the files from common_skin preserving folder structure...

so mynewfolder/customer/home.tpl
mynewfolder/images/mynewimage.jpg etc....

make sure you have a css/altskin.css or some smarty variable won't work

Definitely the way to go. You don't need to copy all of the files but I would start with the ones listed here: altskin.ini, screenshot.png, and css/altskin.css. Then if you want to modify a tpl, copy it from common_files then edit.
