Template Installation

vblunt · #1 10-26-2007, 11:25 AM

I wondered whether someone could help me, i bought a template from xcart but i cant work out where to put the files. It says to "unpack it into the x cart directory on my server" now as far as i know the dir is public.html but i cant find this when using my ftp.

Could someone please tell me where my dir is please.

Many Thanks in advance

If you are referencing the url in your signature, the root directory is indeed you public_html folder.

I cant find the public.html though, do i upload it using my ftp or edit templates and where is the public.html file?

It isn't a file, it is a folder. What is the name of the folder where you installed X-Cart? It may not be public_html, it may be httpdocs. YOu upload it via FTP

You aren't looking for a file, you are simply needing to upload the contents of the distribution package you received from x-cart containing the template files to the root directory of your server.

I did that but they did not show up in the list when u run the re-install templates so i must be doing something wrong, the root directory is the first lists of files on the ftp isnt it? Also the files in the folder are .psd files which i have never heard of.

Sorry if i am sounding stupid but i really have no idea when it comes to this.

Honestly, I think the best (and safest) bet would be to pay for the installation service, as you can really mess up your store if you aren't careful.

Ok i finally worked out what it meant, i have installed it and it is coming up in the install list now but when i install it, it is only partly coming up then has the following error:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in buttons/button.tpl line 12]: [plugin] modifier 'amp' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 11

in /home/c/h/charmedgifts/public_html/Smarty-2.6.3/Smarty.class.php on line 1082

What does this mean please?
