How To Get a New Template

[ShopD2]

I just finished getting the 2.2 Installed New Version, so it has that default stuff which I need to remove, but I'm not sure what to do next after installing

 

A Template perhaps? If so give me some links and advice of how to go about!

 

~Thanks

You don't need a template, have a look at the addons area to see what you want, like, need.

You have 2 choices.

 

1, Get a template - Then spend days/ weeks trying to get that template to work and in the end it'll look just like another other templated OSC site.

2, Learn how to rip OSC apart and design yourself something that looks original in less time than 1.

Uhm For ripping OSC apart, how would I do this? I have dream weaver and photshop but I need to know where to get started :)

[digilee]

Download and read the OSC manual and any of these books.

 

Do you know any PHP or CSS?

If not then you've a huge learning curve.

Start with the basics and play around in the stylesheet.css file that sits at root level.

 

Whatever you do BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES.

When I opened up the stylesheet.css file all there was were a few words with $Catergorie for design mode on dream weaver, if someone could guide me onto the right track I could do it :)

Don't want this to die :)

24 Hour Bump? could anyone tell me what file to edit to edit the text on every page and what programs I could use, same for actually editing the templates colors, or doing new images

if you just want to change the text, all of that can be found in the languages directory.

This may help.
