Template Questions

[Serious]

Not sure, may just be a typing error but should have place the files in the /includes/templates folder

So it should be /includes/templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE

CUSTOM_TEMPLATE is obviously the name of your template

When you open the CUSTOM_TEMPLATE should have folders & ONLY 1 file named template_info.php

Hope this helps!

i did leave the S off of templates, sorry for the confusion.

Not a custom template, rather a downloaded template from this site.

Not sure it that changes your reply or not.

Did the template come with a readme file? They are all supposed to. Well-constructed templates will have all of their files correctly organized under an /includes/ folder, so that you only need to copy the /includes/ and its contents into the root of your site. If there is another location to copy into, the instructions should say what it is.

It would be nice to have a tutorial on installing a template, but unless the third-party templates could be forced to all use the same method, it would not be applicable to some number of them.

No Read-Me file.

This is what was in the Darkness_Template_1.0 .zip. file

Includes/Templates/Darkness

/Darkness contained:
Common Folder
Css Folder
Images Folder
Copyright (Text file)
template_info (php)

Common/
tpl_footer (php)
tpl_header (php)

CSS/
Print_stylesheet (css)
stylesheet (css)
style_css_buttons (css)

Images/
header_bg (jpg)
scr_tmplate_default (jpg)
tile_back (gif)

That's it.

no instructions of any kind.

I suppose if you've been at this awhile this would be a no brainer.
Unfortunetly I'm flyin' blind here folks.
