Customising WooCommerce Templates

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to get my head around the customising of templates, and hope someone can shed some light please?

I’m using the latest WooTheme Sliding with WooCommerce 2.0.7

From what I understand, all the WooCommerce template files reside in:
/woocommerce/templates/ directory.

You also have the files:
/woocommerce/woocommerce-template.php
/woocommerce/woocommerce-functions.php

If you want to customise a template then you copy the file you wish to edit to:
yourtheme/woocommerce

You can also add code snippets (actions, etc) in the functions.php of your theme.

1) So, do you edit the actual template file directly (yourtheme/woocommerce) or do you edit the functions.php file in your theme, which then reads the template file loccated in (yourtheme/woocommerce) and results in an override?

2) I for example had to change the “display name” of the “Cart” Button to read “Basket”, so I edited the file /woocommerce/woocommerce-functions.php with:

$woocommerce->add_message( __( 'Basket updated.', 'woocommerce' ) );

Is this correct? Or will this file be overwriten when I upgrade?
Should I copy /woocommerce/woocommerce-functions.php to yourtheme/woocommerce root folder?? and then make the edits?

I’m just a bit lost at the moment and very new to this 🙂

Thanks in advance!
