I am BEYOND lost

I am usually really good at this kinda stuff, but will admit I am totally and completely LOST on installing all this. I am on a Mac G4 10.4.10, Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC - Memory 2GB DDR SDRAM.

Zen Cart was installed via Fantastico within my host, but I am stuck on figuring out how to get the template I purchased to show up.

I am so lost, I do not even understand the jargon - sighing and feeling OLD and uncool.

Purchased? From whom?

Template Monster and I spent all day yesterday trying to get help and they kept referring me to the same little video that was not helpful at all.

Re: I am BEYOND lost

Perhaps a search of the forum for 'template monster' will give you a better understanding of why you are having problems with it. Sorry.

Re: I am BEYOND lost

Lovely ... they make money from having you buy a template, and then instead of using the money you paid them to provide you with support, they send you "here" for free technical support ... provided by volunteers. Lovely.

I could have sworn that was somewhere in the almost 1000 posts about their templates and the fact that they dont work

Re: I am BEYOND lost

I think Tmonster said they would not be putting out any new templates until the base was fixed, not that they would withdraw the existing ones...

Re: I am BEYOND lost

gotta be more specific if you want to get help - did your template arrive in the form of a zip file? did you open it up? was there a readme? what does it say?
etc.

mind you, I am no expert. if I can help, I will. but there are plenty of ZC ninjas who will respond if you set out your questions clearly and supply links where appropriate...
