Clone a Template [Support Thread]

[lat9]

v2.0.0 of "Clone a Template" is now available in the Zen Cart plugins: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2087

This release (supporting zc158 and later) contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#6: Turn this into a Zen Cart encapsulated plugin.
#8: Declare all class properties (PHP 8.2+ requirement).
#9: Use admin_html_head.php for css/js loading and zc158 language-file naming conventions.
#13: Retain source template's additional 'soft' configuration settings when cloning.

I have a clean copy of 1.5.8a on local server with XAMPP/PHP8.2.

I have installed the Bootstrap template but it will not show up on Clone a Template at all. I have followed all the steps listed and am a bit concerned I have done something wrong.

Yes, the documentation's not very clear on this. For a template to show, it must be (a) installed and (b) have its sidebox configuration previously set with Tools :: Layout Boxes Controller.

Thank you! I was holding off making any major changes as I wanted to clone the original first. I saw references to this and thought I had done this already. Right after I read this, I noticed that neither side boxes work. Cheers!
