I followed directions on their website page (themestock.com) - I backed up my template-default and english languages directories.

Their instructions state to over-write those two directories and then go into admin and change the template. What I noticed are there are a lot more files in my original directories then whey they supplied in their new template - which resulted in several error message in updating the template.

When I put the original directories back in place and kept the new template settings, I do get the front page, but no sideboxes. I just switched everything back to the Classic Contemporary Green. There must be something I've missed here.

Should I just copy the new templates files into the old directories and try to merge everything together?

I see template monster has a files called ZENCART_FULL.SQL to help implement the changeover - but themestock does not.

I'm going to send an email to themestock support, but was hoping to get clarification on the proper way to add one of these third party templates.
