can't select custom template

[wysiwygmn]

Hi

In the admin tools template selection, my custom template is not in the dropdown box.

Here's what I have done, per instructions of copying files from template_default to my new directory

Created Folders:

common (and files)
css (and files)
images (and files plus icons folder and contents)
templates

I copied in the template_info.php at the same level as the folders, and changed the name in the code.

Any thoughts?

Andy

Please do not start new threads when you don't get an immediate answer to your problem. We are all volunteers and sometimes it takes some time.

What are the chmod permissions on your custom template directory? What are you calling your custom template?

Hi Kim,

CHMOD permissions on the "template_ounces" directory are:

755
owner: read, write, execute
group: read,execute
world: read, execute

Thanks for helping me.

[Kim]

Where in the directory structure have you placed your template_ounces directory?

[wysiwygmn]

placed in:

/var/www/html/...store name.../includes/templates/template_ounces

Your custom template folders should look something like the following (you might have more or less folders/files... or slightly different ones... don't worry about that):

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.
