Hi Folks,
I know I ask too many questions..lol.. but I really need to get my head around the Custom Template procedure. I have read various threads, but need a couple of stupidly simple questions answering to help me get my head around it.
My web host set up my basic shop template for me so I am not sure which one they have used. I found this advice on a thread, but can you answer my questions highlighted in red. (as silly as they may seem)
First, you need to make a new directory for your custom template files.
Open: includes/templates/ and add a folder. (You may call it anything you want, but in this FAQ we will be calling it my_template.)
Where and how do I open the includes/templates/ folder.
Create an empty folder inside your new template directory and call it images ... so you should have includes/ templates/ my_template/ images/.
Do I create it in windows explorer?
Next, copy the includes/ templates/ template_default/ css directory from includes/ templates/ template_default/ and place the new folder and its files in your new includes/ templates/ my_template/ folder.
Do I use the classic one or the template_default one? I am presuming the template_default one. I have attched a pic of both of them, and what folders they contain, as I dont want to do it wrong.

Copy the stylesheet.css from includes/ templates/ template_default/ css to includes/ templates/ my_template/ css. This is the stylesheet you will be editing.
Again, not sure exaclty where to copy these to/from
Then you copy the file called includes/ templates/ template_default/ template_info.php, and put it inside includes/ templates/ my_template/.
Again, not sure exaclty where to copy these to/from
Next open includes/ templates/ my_template/ template_info.php in your favorite text editor.
I am not sure how to open the files, have tried, but cant, when I open notepad, and go to file>open, when I look for the files I cant find them, and when I go into frontpage to access my remote server, I can see the files there, but there is no option to edit them (ie, when I r click, there is no option)
I am so so sorry, if these questions seems really really stupid, but I need to ask otherwise I am never going to be able to change things properly.
I see so many threads that say to change things here:
example - (in includes/languages/english.php)
Code:
define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'AUD');
But can never find the files to change them
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post, just wanted to make sure I put all info in.
Kindest Regads
