How to install a new template (Fashion Mosaic)

You need to upload the files to their respective directories via FTP. You cannot do it via the X-Cart admin area. Perhaps you should have X-Cart do this for you.....

Or...you could stop using short answers and, instead, explain how to do it here and that way all of the rest of us can benefit from the information.

If you're trying to help then...help.

I did get x-cart to do it for me. Now I see what folders they go in! It is a really simply upload once you know where to stick the files.

In my case it was httpdocs>>schemes>>templates. They stuck the complete folders (e.g. flex rectangles auto etc) into the templates folder.

This made them all accessible from the php install page. Hope this helps you guys

remember the forum is run by volunteers who have their own jobs to do and answer plenty of posts every day and dont always have time to spoon feed every request. The only place that you are assured a step by step explanation is xcart help desk. Simple things like installing templates will be well covered in either the tar file you download or elsewhere in the forums

Sometimes I don't even know why I bother with this place

Balinor,

Just wait until he installs it on a site that has been modified. That will put a smile on your face!

I think that the problem may be that the 'volunteers' have been 'volunteering' to long and have become calloused to the questions new users ask. I for one have refrained in the past from asking questions in here because of this exact reason. What may be simple to some after answering 100 times, may not be so for another. I only ask that 'some' of the 'volunteers' make this a professional forum and sometimes even a pleasureable experience.

Just my 2 cents..

Because you know the program and have a love of others?

You truely are experienced at Xcart, but at times seem a little calloused because you been here since it broke its first tooth. Count to 10 sometimes and give yourself a break.

Be well,
