## Overload a CMS template ##
First of all, create a new folder structure in your SilverStripe webroot, which will
form our module for this example.
cms/
framework/
zzz_admin/
_config.php
code/
css/
admin/
templates/
Note: The `zzz_` prefix and `admin/` subfolder are only a temporary measure necessary to ensure our templates
are included *after* the original CMS templates. At the moment, you can't use the `mysite/` folder
to achieve the same result.
If you place a template with an identical name into your application template directory
(usually `mysite/templates/`), it'll take priority over the built-in one.
CMS templates are inherited based on their controllers, similar to subclasses of
the common `Page` object (a new PHP class `MyPage` will look for a `MyPage.ss` template).
We can use this to create a different base template with `LeftAndMain.ss`
(which corresponds to the `LeftAndMain` PHP controller class).
Copy the template markup of the base implementation at `framework/admin/templates/LeftAndMain.ss` into `zzz_admin/admin/templates/LeftAndMain.ss`. It will automatically be picked up by the CMS logic. Add a new section after the `$Content` tag:
