is it possible to create an admin template override so that updates to joomla do not effect modifications to made to the bluestork template?

i have made overrides for the css of a component, but not a template.

thank you!

I too was wondering about this. I made some modifications for the Mission Control admin template by RocketTheme. Particularly, I wanted to style the body to eliminate the horizontal scrollbar.

I couldn't really find any way to override this without hacking the template itself, which after future updates, would have disappeared anyway. After some research, I found that Andy Miller of RocketTheme actually made a simple little plugin to do exactly this type of custom css. The plugin is independent of the theme itself so all updates will not touch the custom css.

In the admin css portion, I added the following to remove the horizontal scrollbar:

Code:
body {
overflow-x:hidden !important;
}


Fantastic! It works wonderfully and does exactly what I needed. I hope this works for you too!

Cheers,

Brentini

What modifications you want to do inside the template?

Because I am not really sure what modifications you want to accomplish, here is a solution.

You can just copy the whole template and then do whatever modifications to that new template.

Need more details?

Please explain a little bit more about what exactly you need to modify inside the template?

Infact I was also looking for a way to do this. The problem I am facing is when I update Joomla version from old to new, it overwrites the core joomla files. I have modified core joomla files specially for customizing page title and various other changes. Whenever I update Joomla version, it overwrites the core files and I had to do the changes manually again.
So what I was looking for is, when we updated Joomla version, my core files keep intact or I can get to know what all files updated so that I can go for a manual check. In updates case, I had to check all the changes. Any suggestions?

I've made my first successful template override and I am very happy as it solves the problem that you can avoid hacking core files. I had hoped to do the same with any files for the backend.I tried to copy
MY_INSTALL_PATH/MY_SITE/administrator/components/com_aComponent/views/items/tmpl/default.php
to
MY_INSTALL_PATH/MY_SITE/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/html/com_aComponent

My goal is to accomplish the same benefits for any default files found in the administrator folder of the
3rd party component. But there is no logical path to write here so is it safe to assume that this feature does not yet exist? If its possible to do what is originally asked by the first poster? If so, can someone please post the recipe?

YES, Admin templates have the same setup for overrides as the site templates...

See:http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_2.5
