Adding Entire Template Set...How?
Hi All
I'd like to add my own set of templates rather than edit .../skin1 How can I add this and get the system to recognize it? I've been hunting around in the admin area, but I can't find anything to change to a different template set. Thanks very much.

The easiest way to do this is to add a sub directory under skin1/images/ ( skin1/images/my_skins/file.gif ) this way when you use the {$ImageDir} just add " /my_skins" before your image file name. Regards,

The settings for the skin1 side of things are within the install.php file Code:
Therefore if you were wanting to use you own complete template set, probably easiest to creat a copy of the templates within site1_original to your own directory, then do a fresh install of x-cart with the newly amended install.php site. My question is why? It is far easier to edit the skin1 templates and create a totally custom built site rather than editing the way that x-cart works where you could potentially have numerous bugs. Also, going down this route, would mean that future upgrades would be even harder and very few people on this forum could help if it went wrong. Sorry to be a messenger of doom, but do weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before going there. Funkydunk

I appreciate everyone's thoughts. I think what I'll do is create new sub sets of templates under /skin1. It seems the most straightforward. You're no messenger of doom, funkydunk. Thanks, All
