X-Cart forums

I have an existing header (from a template I purchased, and then customized in FrontPage) that I wanted to use in place of the xcart header. I have been able to put most of it in. However, it apparently does not recognize this sort of call:

<!--webbot bot="Include" u-include="includes/topblock.htm" tag="BODY" -->

For this code, no results at all were seen, and there were no errors listed either, so...

I tried this:

{include file="includes/topblock.htm" }

...but got this error in the header:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "includes/topblock.htm"
in /public_html/shop/Smarty-2.6.9/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

I changed it to this:

<!--#include file="includes/topblock.htm"-->

... but just like with the webbot instruction, nothing at all shows up.

Do I need to change the .htm files to .tpl files? I tried that, and the same problem happened, but I could have missed putting a reference in an index file or such?

Maybe I'm going in completely the wrong direction. A little help??? Thanks!

Put everything you want to include in a template file (rename it to end in .tpl) Upload your new template to the skin1 directory. Then add this to the head.tpl where you want the new template to show.

{include file="your_template.tpl"} 

That's it.

Big thanks. That worked like a charm!
