Need help with a template

[wout000]

hi,

so I downloaded a free template from templatemonster
http://www.templatemonster.com/sampl...le_zencart.zip

But I can't get it to work.

here's the url to my shop
http://www.shareaza-security.puffinhost.com/shop/

It gives me a nasty error

Warning: main(includes/modules/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wout000/public_html/shop/includes/templates/shop/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 45

Maybe you guys know what's wrong...or get it to work

well, 2 things
1. Template monsters templates are for 1.2
2. Just remember that the free template is just for demo purposes

Can you post more information??

What version of Zen Cart have you got installed?

What type of server are you running on? Win or Linux or??

Where is the template installed to ?

Other items that might assist people in determining what you have and what you have done?

Latest version of zencart
it's a linux server

template is uploaded to the template folder and activated through the admin

Can somebody help me with porting it to V1.3 of zencart.

Cause this is a very nice design !

[wout000]

Please, can a template designer put me in the right direction as to edit this template to get it to work with the latest version of zencart.

As to what I've heard, it' isn't much work but I just don't know what to change, i need some expert help.

Please dont ask people in here to help you fix and use a DEMO template,
this template is not for use on a live site,
it is ONLY for testing purposes

[wout000]

Who says it isn't a demoshop ...

I'm trying to view the template in it's whole to get inspiration of the design and to start coding a template myself.

I want to use it as an example, as the basic template just won't do.

Sadly the folks at Template Monster have been too lazy to put together a demo that works with the current version of Zen Cart. This demo template is well known to us. Somebody comes and asks if anyone can get it working every week or two. Sadly, there's not a quick way. However, if you're only looking for inspiration, you can see it running here. However, bear in mind that it has an out-of-date template structure, an out-of-date tables-based architecture, is broken if you run it in Firefox and has a mammoth 358 validation errors.

Thank you for your informative reply.

Could you guys point me to a tutorial on how to create a template? As the wiki really sucks in giving info.

I wanted to use this template as a basis to edit the php files, etc...
