difficulty adding a new template

[schoolboy]

I have seen documentation elsewhere to just copy the template out of the includes folder so that is what I did. I don't believe that I should upload the includes folder into the server side includes folder should I? That seems as if it would throw things off having an includes folder inside of the includes folder.

In filezilla you will have TWO OPEN PANES

PANE ONE = Local Machine

PANE TWO =Remote Server

In your local machine pane, drill down in the new template's main directory until you see "includes" folder. (DO NOT DRILL DOWN ANY FURTHER)

In your server pane, navigate to your ZC installation root folder, where you will also see the "includes" folder. (DO NOT DRILL DOWN ANY FURTHER)

FTP the "includes" folder in the local pane, to the server. Just click the folder to highlight it, then use the FTP arrow to send it and its contents to the server.

As it is at the SAME LEVEL as an existing "includes" folder on the server, it just writes its CONTENTS to the server's existing "includes" folder.

You will not overwrite anything (other than existing custom template files you may have ported earlier). If prompted to overwrite, select YES.

--------------------------

With FTP, the important thing is to get BOTH DIRECTORY LEVELS (local pane and remote server pane) CORRECT.

Thanks for all the help everyone. The issue turned out that not all of the folders and files uplaoded not sure why, I tried fresh uploads several times, finally had to go through folder by folder within this template and check for each and every file....royal pain in the you know what, but i finally got it :-)
Still having a minor issue with the Facebook like link. I think I added the information correctly to the extra def folder correctly:
In: /home2/lyriclea/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/andover_modern/footer_menu_defines.php
I edited the following to read:

define('FACEBOOK','http://www.facebook.com/lyricleather');

There also seems to be a code break on my contact us link in the header, I went to :
/home2/lyriclea/includes/languages/english/andover_modern/header.php

and everything seems fine, see below:

// header text in includes/header.php
define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Shopping Cart');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', '<span class="header-checkout">Checkout</span>');
define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Out');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US', 'Contact Us');

but my home page is displaying
" HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US "
it should only read " Contact Us " correct?

If you use a proper FTP program, you will find life so much easier.

Filezilla is clunky, cumbersome - and (more importantly) not very secure.
