Use the XOOPS Template manager [System Admin > Templates > your custom template set name > System] (just replace the System with the module name for your other modules) and make your edits there. After you've made your changes, be sure to empty everything but index.html from your templates_c/ and cache/ directories, otherwise your changes wont appear to have taken effect.

Hope this helps.

Meaning... You have to "clone" your default system templates, then browse to your new custom template set and make the the changes there.

You're being blocked from editing the default template set because you're not suppose to edit it.

If you search the FAQ section of this site with the terms "template set", you will find several resources about how to edit templates.

Here are a few: Search Results

Hope this helps.
