A nice soft blue template for Zen Cart 1.3.7 and up

The template is available in the free downloads section here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_53&products_id=1206 and I would love to see your site if you use it :D

Re: Gingham Blue Template Support Thread

I have uploaded this file and currently have it on my site: www.teenymunchkins.co.uk

However, there does not seem to be a tpl_header.php file. I can see the footer one in common.

I'm wanting to add google analytics to it - any advice?

thanks
Alison

Hi Ally :)

There's no tpl_header.php file because I didn't make any modifications to that file for the template....you will need to copy the file from includes/templates/template_default/common to the common folder in the template override (includes/templates/GinghamBlue/common) and add your code in there...looks good and it's nice to see the template in use! :)

Re: Gingham Blue Template Support Thread

I have downloaded your template and trying to upload to my website Zen Cart and having problems.

How do you upload a includes folder and get it to show in admin panel? I have uploaded the ginghamblue folder, uploaded includes folder, re-named includes folder, drag & drop all to the /includes/templates folder and just about every way I know.

I can't get it to show in the templates in the Zen Cart admin C/P. The only one that shows is the default classic.

Am I missing something in the install instructions? I am new to Zen Cart but understand some php and have worked with phpBB a great deal.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Re: Gingham Blue Template Support Thread

You don't need to rename the includes folder...the instructions are pretty clear:

Instructions for installation:

The files are arranged in the same structure as Zen Cart

These can all be uploaded via FTP to your server as they are without any editing required.

You can just FTP the whole /includes directories to your site.

Files included in package:

includes/languages/english/GinghamBlue/header.php
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/buttons/english/{all buttons}
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/common/tpl_footer.php
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/css/stylesheet.css
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/images/body_bg.jpg
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/images/logo.jpg
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/images/tile_back.jpg
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/copyright.txt
includes/templates/GinghamBlue/template_info.php

The above filenames are in the exact structure for where the files need to be placed, if you are following this then the template will show up in admin....I don't know why you would be renaming includes though when it doesn't say to do that?

"You can just FTP the whole /includes directories to your site".

If you do this it will not work!

If I remove those files and put them in the prospective heading in zen cart then they work or at least mine is.

Thank You for the reply.

Re: Gingham Blue Template Support Thread

Do you use FTP? Are you familiar with it?

I don't use CPanel for File Transfer, I would hazard a guess that you might need to upload each file individually if you're using that....however if you are using an FTP program such as FileZilla, uploading in the method I described *does* work because the FTP program will upload in the correct file structure, assuming I have placed them correctly in the first place, which I have.

Thank You Christon for you replies.

You don't say to override the original includes folder, that will work. It only took five hrs to figure that out. We all are not as savey to php as you guys & girls so you need to explain a little simpler for us.

Realy like the template and plan on using it for a website.

Thanks,
Bob
