Trying to install a new SKin ...

Im using the instructions in this video and for some reason when I go to Templates its not showing up at all.

The video im watching.

http://info.template-help.com/files/ZenCart/zen_cart_skin_installation.swf

The template im trying to install is Red Passion and ive moved it into my Templates folder but its not showing in my admin. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd forget about that video and just follow the directions in the install.txt file that comes with the Red Passion template.

All you have to do is use your FTP program to drag the includes folder from the Red Passion zip file to the root directory of your cart, and all the necessary files and folders will fall into place.

Then the Red Passion option will show up in Admin - Tools - Template Selection.

Well we got it installed but that was definately not all we needed to do unfortunately. There is definately a learning curve to this program but we are learning it!

Ive got a glitch now, ill start a new thread about it. It might be caused by Godaddy.
