The JSP templates that come with the application are all located in the
/WEB-INF/layouts/default-html5 directory (for versions between 2.3 and 3.3.2
it's the /WEB-INF/layouts/default-xhtml directory and for versions prior to 2.3,
it's the /WEB-INF/layouts/default directory). Inside there, they are
organized into subdirectories representing the major functional areas of your store:
core , product,
order, customer, and
payment .
Copying a template from the default-html5 directory to the
custom directory
Custom templates that you create will go in the
/WEB-INF/layouts/custom directory, which contains the same five
subdirectories. If a JSP template exists in the custom directory, the
store will automatically detect and use it in place of the corresponding template under the
default directory. This system allows you to create custom templates
for just those areas of the store you need to modify, while other areas can be left untouched so
that they use the default templates.
It's important not to modify the templates in the
/WEB-INF/layouts/default-html5 directory. These files may be overridden
when you install a future upgrade of SoftSlate Commerce. Instead, please place a copy of the
template you wish to change into the corresponding subdirectory under
/WEB-INF/layouts/custom. The store will automatically detect the
new file and begin using it immediately. You can then feel free to make whatever changes you wish
to the copied file.
