HOW? Migrate Zen Cart into new template

I am wondering what all the files are that I need to edit to change the entire template. I have a psd I want to fit the entire zen cart into. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: HOW? Migrate Zen Cart into new template

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

includes\languages\YOUR_TEMPLATE\english.php
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\template_info.php
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\tpl_header.php
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\images\logo.gif
includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\css\stylesheet.css

Basically, whereever you see a \classic\ folder, you can create a folder for your template.

I recommend you get the Firefox browser with the webdeveloper's add-on. It allows you to see the changes to the stylesheet on the fly... although, at the moment, I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy towards FF which has decided to keep closing itself in the middle of doing something. :( Still, it's a good tool to have.
