I had a question about templates. Do they alter the functions of the system by removing things such as sidebars etc or do they just act like a skin and change the look and feel but not the functionality?

If they are done properly using the template override system, then they act like a skin and do not change the functionality.

Can we get a link to some templates please, perferably free
Check the downloads section at the top of the forum. You can see them in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/.
To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:
includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css
Any where you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder or the /template_default/ folder.

I uploaded the files to the places the install file said to but it's not showing that I have another templte in the tool/temple options.
this is the process I am following right now
The best and easiest way to install this template is to use your ftp client, and drag/transfer the complete contents of the includes folder to your ZenCart install.
As all of the files are structured like ZenCart and are contained in their own folders, you can determine where they belong and add them to the correct areas.
please help
I uploaded the includes folder to the ZenCart install, and also uploaded the template to the templates foler, still not showing, what could I have missed or skipped. thanks in advance
