Problems Setting Up a Template.

[chome4]

**This has already been posted in the Hope Free Template section but I thought this part of the forum is the proper place for templates. Hope admin won't get too irritated!

This is the template I eventually want: http://zen4me.com/demo/hope/

Following the instructions in the README file, the new template doesn't show up alongside the default one in the admin drop-down list.

I'm running things locally, using WAMP server. I've installed other templates and they do show up. The missing item is an issue I've had before but I moved on to other templates. Now I've found this template, I want it but it's a no-show.

My file structure is C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates

Before I copied over the zipped folder, the default in that folder was two directories: 'classic' and 'template_default'.

As per the instructions, I copied over 'zen4me.com-hope-free-template' and went to admin/tools/template selection and observed only 'Classic Contemporary Green', the default template.

I'm using Zen Cart v1.5.4 and everything else seems OK with this local setup.

Any ideas on how I can get this template working? I'll keep trying to fix this, but in the meantime I hope someone can help.

Template download: http://www.zen4me.com/files/zen4me.c...e-template.zip

Thanks...

The dropdown in Template Selection is populated from the template_info.php files Zencart finds in the respective template folders, so I would guess you might have the files in the wrong path. Check to see that includes/templates/hope/template_info.php exists.

Inside the unzipped template folder, many directories in, there's:

C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\zen4me.com-hope-free-template\TEMPLATE-FILES\includes\templates\template333

The folder 'template333' contains the file 'template_info.php'. I copy this folder into the root folder containing the default folders and the drop-down now includes the 'Hope' template. I select/update. When I refresh the demo page, all I get is the top couple of inches of the page.

this path C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\zen4me.com-hope-free-template\TEMPLATE-FILES\includes\templates\template333

should be:

C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\template333

this is also explained in the readme.txt inside the zip file

INSTALLATION - PHASE 1
=============================
Note: There are no core files override, no files will be overwritten.

1. Unpack the template package 'zen4me.com-hope-free-template.zip', the template files are inside folder 'TEMPLATE-FILES'

2. Upload all the files and folders inside 'TEMPLATE-FILES' to your store root directory, i.e ../public_html/ or if you use subdirectory ../public_html/store/

That's what I now have

C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\template333

But I still only get that partial page.

A (partial) white page means there should be a debug log file. Check C:\wamp\www\zencart\logs to see if there are any. an post the complete contents of the newest file. Remember to cross out any secret amdin names.
