Templates don't take

Hi all,

It seems that templates don't take on my Zen Cart installation. I've tried applying a couple of them, but don't see any change.

My Zen cart is at www.punkervision.net/store and you'll see that there's so sensible style template applied to it, despite my best efforts.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Well, it's calling the stylesheet from:

Is your stylesheet.css missing from that folder?

Yup, the stylesheet is there.

I also notice that there are missing images on the pages too - I checked the folders they're being called from and found that the image files are all present and correct.

I have no idea where to start with this problem.

Anyone?

Thanks again,

Pete

Does the default template still work?

If the default template looks any different to the current state of the shop, then I don't think it ever worked.

Hmm.....I see it's now calling for a "darkness" stylesheet. I guess you ARE applying them in Admin>Tools>Template Selection, right?

I don't have an Admin>Tools directory at all. The templates are going into Includes>Templates. The Zen cart admin panel recognises them without a problem, and I can apply them without any complaint. They just don't seem to take in the cart itself.

Yea, that's what I was talking about was the Admin Panel in ZC, NOT any folders.

You'll see that in this forum, when someone describes a specific place in the Admin Panel, they will use ">" to show that. If they are talking about folder directories, they will use a "/".

I was just making sure that ZC DID recognize the template in the Template Selection.

Thanks for the clarification.

Problems like this do bad things to my brain. :)

Thinks...

Images are loading fine from some directories, but not from others. Could this be a permissions issue?

Unthinks.

Seems possible.
Have you checked the permissions from your cPanel or whatever you use?

Do you still have one template's stylesheet switched with the template
you have chosen in Admin, per your post in another thread?

I've successfully changed the template to Glossy Blue in the admin panel, and replaced the style sheet with the one for Candied Blueberry.

It's really not a matter of which stylesheet is there or if one is missing/corrupt - all of the stylesheets (main, print, css buttons) are not being found. Either they are all in the wrong directory or something is preventing access to the correct directory.

I think it's definitely a permissions issue, but 'm at a loss to see which directory is blocking my path. I've checked them all with my FTP client, and read permissions are enabled for them all.

Call off the hounds. I've decided that this is just too far beyond my abilities, and for the sake of my time and sanity I really need to look round for alternatives. Another solution offers an installation service for a modest price, and I think that's possibly my most sensible way forward.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far though.

Cheers,

Pete
