Problems Setting Up a Template.

[chome4]

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.

The ul_generator.php is looking for C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\template333\common\tpl_drop_menu.php, but it is not there. You probably are still not having all the files in their right places.

The ul_generator.php is looking for C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\template333\common\tpl_drop_menu.php, but it is not there. You probably are still not having all the files in their right places.

Actually it's the other way around. The file C:\wamp\www\zencart\includes\templates\template333\common\tpl_drop_menu.php is looking for the class file includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php. This class is not a part of the ZC default install, so is either the request is accidentally in the drop menu file or as said there is at least one (maybe more) file missing.
