Hi all,
After a long time, I want to give SilverStripe another try. But after less then 5 minutes I got the first problem :D

Well, I installed SilverStripe through Composer, then added bootstrap (composer require burnbright/silverstripe-bootstrap) and changed the config.yml to load the theme "bootstrap". So far, so good!

Then, I created a folder called bootstrap_example in the themes directory and added some files under bootstrap_example/templates/Indcludes. After flushing the site, I can't see any changes.

Any ideas, what I did wrong?
Thanks, Fabio

UPDATE:
Got it working, after reading this nice piece of history: https://web.archive.org/web/20120225045929/http://www.silverstriperesources.com/articles/customising-a-theme-using-sub-themes/

renaming my folder from bootstrap_example to bootstrap_page did the trick!

Yes, the format bascially goes ThemeName_modulename/ - which if you're not using a module causes issues. Cool that you found that history though, I wasn't aware of it.

Similarly, templates themselves follow the naming format: ClassName_actionname.ss
