My expectation would be that, if I wish to edit a part of the existing template, i.e. the responsive template, I would locate the fiel that I wish/need to edit, create a new folder in the same path as the original file with the name of my new template "custom" in the example I followed, edit the file and save it n my new folder. Then, my understanding is that this is an Overide page which will be used for the information I have changed after which all other information comes from the original template.
This hasn't been my expereince however and I find that, if I wish to use the Responsive Template I have to copy quite a lot of the original files from this template folder to my new template folder before it will work at all.
I think, eventually, I solved this particular blank page issue by copying ALL the info from the Responsive template folder to my new template folder and deleted the folders one at a time until the blank page re-appeared. I think it was the "common" folder that was required.
I suppose, at this point, that the instructions I followed were a little outdated but, it's also possible that I misread them.

Thanks for the response.

Onward to new problems now.

When you receive that whitescreen, there's a myDEBUG*.log file created in your store's /logs folder that identifies the details of the issue.
See: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?124-blank-page

I'm not sure what you're referencing when you say "I have followed the instructions for customising my own template to the letter." ... which instructions are those?

Hi Anne

I really like the new responsive template, thank you. I would like to add some a-hover to the categories and info menu on left side of pc version and am a little confused about which style sheet and what element I should start with. Can you point me in the right direction?
Site is at http://orders.leinbachs.com/
Thanks in advance

Thank you, that did the trick.
My next problem (I take 'em one at a time), is with the product listing pages. The top columns are ok (model #, price, etc are listed horizontally) but the product listings are listed vertically. The model #, description and price are listed under the image instead of across in a row under the headings.

Thanks again!
Carol

That is the productDetailList box that appears in five different template files. Found in the yoursiteDOTcom/includes/templates/yourTemplate/templates/something_info_display.php files.
You'll probably find it in the file between "bof productDetailsList" and "eof productDetailsList."
Adjust away. That's the beauty of open source.

Thank you for your prompt response. I will do that

if I want to use MobiZenCart by ultimate_zc do I have to delete all responsive files in Responsive Classic before installing MobiZenCart?

cheers,

Don't do that - it's a separate template.

I just upgraded to V. 1.5.5. Here is a very dum question: what is the responsive_classic template for? Is it for mobile compatible? Do I need to change the folder name to the responsive_**** to match my self-set template name?

responsive_classic is a mobile-friendly template. You can use it if you wish.
Or you can use your own template as long as it's been upgraded to be compatible with v155.

You are welcome to make a copy of responsive_classic if you wish. Be mindful that there are several other places where override foldernames would need to be copied as well (such as in /includes/languages and subdirectories, and /includes/modules, etc)

The easiest method for retaining and modifying the responsive_classic is to use lat9s Clone a Template mod. Clone Responive_Classic to whatever name you want then, modify the new template whatever way you need. You will then have the Responsive_Classic as something to fall back on.
You might want to look at the link in my sig for a quick way to modify the template.
