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

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

It depends on what you want to do. You definitely can't remove the copyright information at the top of any of the files (this information isn't displayed to the public at any time). Zen Cart is pretty hard to break. If you make a mistake, you can always replace your file with the original and start again.

The possibilities are pretty much endless depending on your imagination, skill and knowledge. There are a number of free templates in the downloads section (see link at top of page). You can see the templates in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/.

I change this in
/includes/languages/YOU_LANGUAGE/meta_tags.php

In line 24

// NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.

define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'YOU TEXT HERE'); // usually best left blank
:wink:

I have added the line:
define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'MY_OWN_HOME_PAGE_TITLE');
into: /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
