Please help me install a new template!

[einarso]

Hi,
I have installed zc 1.5.0. I was going to change from the basic template to the abby free template. All the instructions seem easy enough. Download the temple, save to your zc install folder, enter admin-tools-template selection, press edit, and choose your new template from the drop down list.

BUT!

I do not get any new options in the drop down list. I only get the Classic Contemporary Green template.

Can someone point out to me my silly mistake?

I hope you didn't mean the zc_install folder as that is supposed to be removed after installation.
You should have a directory with folders like cache, images, includes, and YOURADMIN (whatever you named it).

THAT is the folder to which you would FTP all the template files.

yes - I of course did not install it into the zc_install folder :)

I tried copying the folder to 2 different folders. The "root" folder, and the includes/templates folder.

neither worked

The "root" would be the one IF it had those directories I mentioned.
Make sure all the files are being uploaded. Not uncommon to find a bad FTP session.

Thank you - you pointed me in the right direction. I did the mistake that I copied the full folder, instead of the content of the folder. A rookie mistake I will learn from :)

It's never been easy to start out an expert.
Glad you got it sorted.
