I see same code under following dir: (4.3.5 version)

design/themes/

var/themes_repository/

What is the reason for this? Why can't there be a single copy of code?

If I want to add a new add-on, do I need to update files in both of above dir?

Regards,

Fahad

The design/themes directory contains themes which are used in the store. The var/themes_repository contains original files of themes. For example when theme or add-on is reinstalled, all template files are taken from this directory of CS-Cart installation.

An add-on can use this directory to store its template files. For more information, please refer to the following articles:
