Customize the plugin display

The plugin uses the template files located in the template directory. You can implement your own template files by copying theses files with a new name terminating by “_custom” (for instance, the file mss_search.php is copied as mss_search_custom.php). These new files can be located in the plugin’s template directory or in your theme’s main directory.
