Body: <p>I have spend a number of hours trying to figure this out.  If I want to change one of the template files, say EventInfo.tpl, but not inside the plugin so updates would not override it.  How do I need to do that?</p>

Comments.Text: @ramesh, Thank you for your answer.  I want to just create a custom template folder.  I have read that linked content many times.  Every time I go set the custom template directory, I get a 'Custom Templates' directory does not exist error, event though the folder does exist.
