Is it this easy to create templates?

[keneso]

What folder would you copy directory includes/templates/template_default and all it's subdirectories to? I would like to make my own template from scratch

Short answer is templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/

ok on the style sheet could I edit it in Dreamweaver? Also http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...ustom-template are not that clear. Do I do all of this in My Cpanel? or do I make folder's on my hd and then upload them?

Cause I have something like this


which is not what I want I'm trying to change baby blue background

I've never used Dreamweaver, but if it can edit text files, I guess you could use it. Stylesheets are just text. I use Notepad to edit them.

Some people use the CPanel File Manager to download and upload files, but it's always seemed easier to me to use an FTP program (I use the FireFTP plugin for Firefox).

The colors you're seeing in your screenshot are from the default Zencart template (not the Classic Green template that's activated when you install Zencart), so you've done something with the Classic files.

I'll re-suggest that you get the Web Developer or Firebug plugins for Firefox. Both allow you to edit the stylesheet online and see the results of your edits right away without making any permanent changes.

ty I have Firebug and had it for a long time so dose it mean that with the classic Green template with firebug active I could change the baby blue background to my own in the stylesheet. and where would I upload my bg while using firebug to edit my css. Not sure if that makes an since

since I cannot edit my post above I'll have to put it here. I have my Main front Page the way I want it. Can I copy my css from firebug as my new template css or not. I have to rename my images/upload them the underscores. How would I edit my main page to look like this?

I for one am not understanding your needs.
Is that what you have accomplished, or not, if yes what is it that you want?

Little advice on posting:
I think you should have opened a new thread instead of hijacking this one, maybe you could try to ask single questions, and go step by step, as it's hard to tell you how to make a whole page.
