need to know where and how to go about this fix

ok i know i should not have done this . but i can not make a page that looks as good as the ones from tm . so i got one

ok i did it . installed to there liking and well it does not work at all . they told me install on ver 136 so i did and this is what i get . i think the code is hosed

site is http://zen136.mikesrchobbies.com
this is a test site . have done some reading about some of the problems with TM but i didn't think it would have been this bad .

the test site is a fresh install so both should work . there are no other mods at all . thanks for llooking . any help would be great also .

i am a newbie at this . but i can install these and get them working .

my live site is https://www.mikesrchobbies.com i just what to can the way it looks .

So you read about the issues and bought on anyway???

Due to their non standard coding - fixing any one of them is a nightmare and can take 20-30 hours of work to straignten things out - most likely not worth it but that is not my call

if i could get it to look the way it is and was made to i can live with that for now. and as long as it would work so i could go live with it . i only need to change 2 pic in the template and all would be good.

so how to start . i did do the css on the live site that i posted .

Anything that we can tell you would be how this is done in Zen Cart - And as stated TM writes outside of this structure... Didn't the template come with instructions of their's on how to change these basic things?

ya they are some of the worst i have ever seen. i have done every thing they asked . i even downloaded there movie and looked at it . not much there .

so i unzip the file . load in the template folder , change to that one . install there sql file and this is what i get. looks as if the code for the langand $ IS MISSING and none of the side box will display
well i thinki can get the search to show. and when i tri to make a ezpage for the header and footer they will not display. you can see the code at the top of the page . i can not figure out what flie it is in .

i even uninstalled it 3times and reinstalled 3 times to make sure that i was not doing something wrong. then i went back to 136 and install that fresh . i am lost.

they don't have any info about what area to change in the configure part of the admin . their tech guy are some of the worst i have seen also.

I've often said that there should be a banner on every ZenCart page that says something like, "It's better to be thought gullible than buy a TM template and prove it.":no:

That said, the problem THIS TIME may be a bad ftp upload or bad unzip of files prior to upload. Make sure you got them all there correctly.

box is local here . i have full controll over it . so it not's a bad upload. i did download it on my laptop and then input the file on the linux server . i have another server here i may try it in the moring and see if it does the same thing .

you can check out my other test site it does the same thing but more of the template does work .
http://test.mikesrchobbies.com
it is install on a fresh install of 1.3.8a zencart with a the database from the live site for testing. the look of the new site if i can get it to work.

http://zen136.mikesrchobbies.com/ << as mentioned, there are some missing files that did not get uploaded.

Also, TM provides you with a PSD file, do they not? You could always pay someone to take the PSD and create a working Template for you. Paying for it twice, I know, but if you really like/want the Template look then that will save you all kinds of headaches in the long run.

looks as if TM has found a fix for my problem and now the template works . if some of you could have a look and see if anything that is not working . and let me know . thanks mike

I remember giving you quite a bad review on your other site. This one looks a lot better. I had a quick look around and everything seemed to work ok. Only, the images still need improving. Also, some of the sign-up fields were out of place. But if you can get all this sorted and working, you'll have a very nice site.

we had to turn something on in the php.ini file and the site started working. now to get it upgraded so i can use the 1.38a . this is the test site . that will be fully check and rechecked to make sure that all mods and everypart of the site works before i move it iver to the live site .
