I can see the categopries sidebox just fine.

Hi
I reset the boxcontroll and then it worked =)

I hate to be the dumb one here but I'm a newbie so here goes.

I like the Cold Steel Template and read your install instructions. How do you get the include folder to show in the admin C/P? You said to upload the complete include folder, did that, also changed the name include to cold steel and nothing. I don't see it in the Templates in the admin C/P.
I tried a template without the include but just the name of the template and they load just fine.

Thanks,
Bob

If you are using an ftp client such as filezilla then just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server. You may get a message asking if you want to overwrite the folder; in this case just click yes and the files will upload to their proper location.
Do not drag and drop on any of the folder icons that are on your server.

If you need additional help, just send me a PM

That didn't work, any more ideas?

I am having the same problem as the previous poster. Could you help me understand this please?

I downloaded your files. I read the "read me" file which says: "Unzip the Package and upload the entire includes folder to your server."

To the previous poster, you noted to "just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server"

All of my Zen Cart folders are in a directory called "shop" So I went to shop, and noticed there is already a subdirectory named "includes" there. Thinking I should not overwrite the existing subdirectory, I created a new subdirectory named "template_coldsteel". I uploaded via Fetch on my Mac your includes file into this "template_coldsteel" The admin section can't find it - so I'm am not wondering if I should have overwritten the original includes subdirectory with your file folder. Is this correct? I want to make sure before I obliterate it. <<< EDIT TO ADD: DON'T DO THIS. I just tried it. Luckily I backed up the original includes file so I could restore it! Yikes.

Where does this file folder belong on the server?

Thank you.

Well. I'm glade I'm not the only one having this problem.

All I can tell you delete the include folder you made and put cold steel into;

store/includes/templates folder.

This is where your default template is.
But I was told to "just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server"

That would be where the root files are, that didn't work either. I even took all the files out of the includes folder and moved them to the templates folder, the cold steel showed up in the admin C/P but had flaws it.

All I'm waiting on is a simple installation procedure.

Good Luck

Thanks Bobb2. It is a nice looking design and I wish I could figure it out - but nothing seems to work for me. It was kind of the developer to create it and offer it - but I just must not be doing something right.

I've reconsidered the whole thing and am going to go back to paypal's add to cart buttons. I know it doesn't have all the features that zen does, but I'm only selling a few different items and need inventory tracking only. I know I can control the design easier myself with the paypal add to cart thingy - so I'll just give up while I'm failing with the whole zen thing.

This is no dis to zen or the template developer either - I'm just not cut out for the technical coding.

Thanks anyway.

Ok, lets do this, I don't like all this coding either. This forum is slow to respond and need to talk in common fokes language.

I got mine working by doing this::clap:

take and open the includes folder, open languages folder, remove the cold steel folder and put it in zen cart languages, open english folder and put in zen cart english, do same with modules in zen cart, do same with templates in zen cart.

Good Luck,

Bob

Slow to respond? You've made 10 posts and the average time to respond to them was around an hour. Not to mention the additional assistance given to you by haredo.

Not sure what coding you're talking about.

The file structure of the template is the same as the Zen Cart Structure:
All the necessary folders/files are located in the includes folder of the template.

One can either upload (FTP) the entire includes folder to the server and the template folders/files will go where they belong.

OR (as you've apparently done)

One can open the includes folder and each of the necessary folders/files and upload them individually to the appropriate location on the server.
