template doesn't change!

[hamidz]

Hi
I uploaded new template to the server and enabled it in admin (Template Selection) but the template doesn't change in front end.

What am I missing? That drive me crazy!
The Template Selection page is so Wacko!! My new template is highlighted but when I go to layout boxes controller, the default template steel show at the bottom of the page (I tried several templates)

Thanks for your help.

you need to do this,
Then you copy the file called includes/templates/template_default/template_info.php, and put it inside includes/templates/CUSTOM/. Next, open includes/templates/CUSTOM/template_info.php

Under tutorials, search for new template.

[hamidz]

I don't have any CUSTOM folder.

CUSTOM= the name of your custom template.

How many folders did you create for your custom template? How many files did you edit?

[hamidz]

It is a template that I downloaded and it's called Template 241
It has:
\template241\includes\templates\241 and then these file system inside 241

-buttons
-common
-css
-images
-sideboxes
template_info.php

[afo]

Are you sure about that path? It doesn't look right to me. I would expect it to look like \includes\templates\templatename

[hamidz]

I downloaded here:
http://(sorry, site offline)/templates.html

At the bottom of the page: Template 241

There's definitely something odd about the path. If I do a view source while that template is in use, I get includes/templates/241/ as the path. I'm not sure why you have /template241/ at the beginning. I could be wrong, but I think that's at least part of the problem.

[hamidz]

I checked the path is ok. But what should I do. Do I have to upload all 241 folder in includes/templates? and then what to do with template_info.php

I can't find a comprehensive simple tutorial to how change templates in Zencart. That's the first thing you want to do in Zencart. That's crazy!!

I can't find a comprehensive simple tutorial to how change templates in Zencart

Changing them is done from the admin

You must mean "install" them...

As most all that I have seen are already in the ZenCart directory structure, it is a simple process of copying/uploading via some FTP Client to your server

This process is most like that of copying on a windows computer using explorer

Bottom line one needs to understand that to be able to use most FTP Clients
