    You might contact whoever you got this template from ...

    We do not know anything about your template ...

    NOTE: don't forget to select the new template in your Zen Cart Admin (Tools, Template Select) and setup the Sideboxes (Layout Boxes Controller) if needed ...

    This sounds like a Template Monster template. Search the forum for them to find out more about their template-building practices. Essentially, their templates mangle standard Zen Cart function.

    I think this is a template monster template, or one that needs heavy tweaking

    If you do decide to do it, there should usually be two files.

    ZENCART_SHORT.SQL
    This will tidy up the layout of your site and show the page as it was intended. Most cases it moves the sidebox width and aligns the images on the product listing page.

    ZENCART_FULL.SQL
    This patch will do all of above patch will do and will also setup like a demo site, With products already in your store.

    Theses patches are quite easy to install

    FIRST STEP - BACKUP YOUR WEBSITE & then

    From you admin hover your mouse over tools and click on install SQL patch.

    Find the ZENCART_SHORT.SQL file from your PC and upload.

    You should see a green strip at the top of your page if everything went OK.

    Good Luck

    Andrew
