Is there a way to replace templates without change core files?

Hi!

I would like to change templates files without mess up with core files.

I tried to create a similar template folder structure within my custom theme folder but does not work.

For instance:

MyTheme > templates > user > profile.tpl

Any reference or links to help me?

Thanks

Hi @marlonlamancio,

The approach you describe will be available starting with OJS 3.0 / OMP 1.2:

In the meantime, you’ll need to use hooks to override built-in templates; see plugins/generic/counter/CounterPlugin.inc.php for an example of how the COUNTER plugin does this.

I found this reference http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/OJSTechnicalReference.pdf but in User Interface section does not explain and Smarty Templates site are off http://smarty.php.net/

The Smarty documentation has moved here:
