Installing stock mod help

Just did a clean upgrade to Zen Cart 1.3.8a. My buddy wants to add a few mod's, not a programmer. I am a decent PHP / linux guy, but a little curious on the 1st mod.

They want a mod that requires a stock attribute installed already, so have it downloaded (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=310) and one of the install doc's simply says to do the following;
"Prepare the package for upload to your server by renaming the following folders to match your template name: includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE and includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE."

Well I don't see anything like that! Under include/modules I have a few folders (all look like work, not personal type names) like classic, pages, payment, etc. As for the other, includes/templates there is simply classic and template_default.

So before I go and break something, has someone already installed this mod and can help with the install.

Thanks

Re: Installing stock mod help

Sounds like modifications/changes were done on this site in either the custom or template_default folders. :blink:

A custom template folder should be used so all modifications don't get removed during an upgrade or restore.

There is a pretty easy to follow article in the Tutorials/FAQ section of the forum.

I suggest you get the custom folders in place before doing any further module add ons.

Re: Installing stock mod help

If you've already set up custom template folders elsewhere, simply use the same name when uploading the mod.
