How to customize templates in vim-latex

Question

I'm trying to use vim-latex, and as the existing templates are annoyingly simple and unsatisfactory, I'm trying to build some of my own. However, after composing my own templates and stored in "/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates", nothing happens. The software simply won't scan for new templates. Did I miss some steps to make it work?

Answer 1

I found out what's happening. If there's any one who ran into a similar problem, please check whether you have installed that plugin in your OS repo. I'm using fedora, and accidentally installed vim-latex from the repo, thus the place those templates are really located is

"/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates".

So either remove the add-on installed from the OS repo and reinstall it in "~/.vim/", or copy the templates to that folder is the solution to this problem.
