    Default Template Question

    I had a question about templates. Do they alter the functions of the system by removing things such as sidebars etc or do they just act like a skin and change the look and feel but not the functionality?

    If they are done properly using the template override system, then they act like a skin and do not change the functionality.

    Check the downloads section at the top of the forum. You can see them in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/.

    To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:
    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

    Any where you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder or the /template_default/ folder.

    Default Re: Template Question

    I uploaded the files to the places the install file said to but it's not showing that I have another templte in the tool/temple options.

    this is the process I am following right now


    The best and easiest way to install this template is to use your ftp client, and drag/transfer the complete contents of the includes folder to your ZenCart install.

    As all of the files are structured like ZenCart and are contained in their own folders, you can determine where they belong and add them to the correct areas.


    please help

    I uploaded the includes folder to the ZenCart install, and also uploaded the template to the templates foler, still not showing, what could I have missed or skipped. thanks in advance

    It's hard to say without being able to actually get "behind the scenes" of your site, but you might want to try uploading the template files again. Make sure there's a includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php for the new template. That's where the tools->template selection gets its info from.

    Someone else might have a brighter idea than this, but that's my best advice for now.

    Default Re: Template Question

    I'm starting to set the sidebars back into place but I notice when I select the on option most aren't showing. Could this be because I have no info in these boxes yet? example of boxes that are not showing are

    shopping_cart.php
    featured.php
    tell_a_friend.php
    specials.php


    Another question if you don't mind, I notice the taxes are not showing in the totals

    thanks again
