Hi,

Its just unclear to me,exactly how do you install a theme/template?

At present i'm using the default one and it doesn't look to great for what i'm selling,i need like a blue/ocean template(selling fishing tackle) so need a blue theme i think.

Any help would be great,again sorry for all the questions but really stuck on how to install them easily.

thanks guys,pringle.

Here are the instructions from the ocean_front template.

Unzip the Package

open the new_install folder and upload/FTP the entire includes folder to your server.

In your admin panel, go to admin -> tools -> template selection, click the edit button, choose the template from the dropdown menu and click update.

Now go to admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller, Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the reset button.

Open your site in your browser and view the new template in action.

Hello, I do think that there is something unclear in the instructions, at least to me.

When it says upload the the entire includes folder to your server, that instruction seems to be unclear about *where* on the server the includes folder is to be uploaded to.

Our servers our loaded with many folders and files, including the Zen-Cart folder so if you could be specific about which folder or location the includes folder is to be uploaded to, perhaps it would help answer "stupid" questions from us newbies ;-)

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

If your cart is in the root of your server, it would be root/includes. If your cart is in a directory called zen, it would be root/zen/includes.
