preview after download?

um... perhaps dumb question, but after you've downloaded a few themes, how do you identify which one you're looking at, when the folders are named zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011 7? Straight-up html i could just look at the index, but php....:huh:

Re: preview after download?

zen-cart-v150-full-release-12302011 would be the whole Zencart not a theme.

Most themes will come in a folder with their name on it

and to find the name of an installed theme you would check via you admin contol panel or by

going

yoursite.com/includes/templates/ "and the names of the templates will be here"

Re: preview after download?

You aren't perchance downloading these from the add-ons section and pressing the big blue Download button on the right hand side that says download?

If so, you have probably download multiple copies of zencart

You need to click on the "download Now" text That is just under the template names heading

----------------------edit------------------------------

If you want to see what a downloaded template looks like then there is normally an image of it included with the template

normally at this location when you unzip the downloaded file

includes\templates\your_template\images\src_yourtemplate.jpg

--------------------edit--------------------------------

and try looking here

http://(sorry, site offline)/index.php

most of the free ones are shown there

Re: preview after download?

haha this question isn't even valid if i wasn't an idiot. You are right, i was downloading the entire system each time. In my defense, the *-->DOWNLOAD<-- link shouldn't be the most obvious thing on the page. Also, i should read more carefully. If i do it right, the name of the theme is on both the archive, and the expanded folder. This serves two purposes. To tell me exactly what the theme is, and also to make me look even more incompetent. Thanks!
