Hello,

I thought that every directory could have a "local" folder.

I tried creating a "local" folder in gallery2/modules/core/classes/helpers
So I could edit:
GalleryItemHelper_medium.class
GalleryFileSystemEntityHelper_medium.class

And it did not work. Did not read the files in the "local" folder, only if I edit the actual files.

How do I know now which directories accept the "local" folder and which don't? Is there a rule?

Thanks,
Alex

This is mostly just for theme's template folders to allow you to customize the appearance. If you want to modify those class files, just make a backup and edit the original.

Thanks again ckdake. I thought of that but that was my last resort!
I would have preferred having the files in a "local" folder, so I thought I'd check here at the Forums first because I have "local"'s for everything else except these 2 files.
