cccakes Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 How do i upload a template that i have downloaded from template monster.
spax Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 As far as I am aware, TM templates are complete packages. That being the case, you would install it as you would a stock installation downloaded from here. If you literally mean "how do I upload it", you need to get a good FTP client and connect to your server via that.
cccakes Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 i have had to now upload oscommerce three times to one.com as each time on registering my username and password it fails and reports a conflicting error suggesting i delete the install directory is there atech support on this site ? jez i cant get the site to work let alone a template hahah lol
lexad Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 hi i just have downloaded GG9 - Free Lightbox osCommerce Template and i can't install romanian language pack, i came to cry now because nobody wants to help me
FIMBLE Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Why don't you try the Template Monster help and support Forum? This forum is for oscommerce standard code, not the hashed about crap they spew out Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions

FIMBLE Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 but is downloaded from the http://www.badeziner.com/2008/07/12/gg9-fr...e/#comment-2017 Sorry i was ranting at the TM people not you! What are you having trouble with? Have you uploaded the language to both Catalog / includes / languages / and admin / includes / languages / ? If so you nedd to enter it to the database, from Admin / localization /languages Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions

rob_illinois Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Is there a good place to get all in one packages, that are not buggie?
spax Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Template Monster do actually claim to use the RC2 file set now.
rob_illinois Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I have found another site: algozone.com They give you one or three options when you dl Download packages: (Slect one) osCommerce 2.2ms2 template Template contains a set of necessary components for original osCommerce 2.2ms2 cart osCommerce 2.2 RC1 template Template contains a set of necessary components for latest osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC1 available at www.oscommerce.com osCommerce 2.2 RC2 template Template contains a set of necessary components for latest osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2 available at www.oscommerce.com Any good or is it better to go with TM?
spax Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I've no idea to be honest. I have repaired quite a few TM templates for people so even though they look great, I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for the less experienced. There lot's of TM affiliates but I've not looked at algozone.com so not sure about them. I will look now. There's absolutely no point in going for an RC1 template.
rob_illinois Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, I said only the last option seemed to be the best and only choice v2.2 RC2. :)
spax Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I just looked at a couple from algozone and they are definitely not TM affiliate templates. They look very professional and just from the source, look better than TM. Given a choice, I would go for algozone.
rob_illinois Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Ok, I also see they do the Creloaded ones. Is this better or more of a headache? Thanks
lexad Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 can i tell me where i find a free template similar like this page ... http://www.allposters.com/
dxer Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 So you are saying that templates from TemplateMonster are not appliable to the existing installation of OsCommerce which is not purchased from them ? I was looking at that option and as I have already OsCommerce installation I can not go with new installation, just design. If this is not possible, then is it possible to export database from my existing installation and then import it into new templatemonster installation ? If this is not possible either, is this templatemonster OsCommerce genuine or they recoded it ? What are further possibilities if I want to implement better design , where to look for templates which will be appliable to existing installation?

Justin, Yes, you can import your database into a new osCommerce site but it would be best done by comparing each table and merging in the changes. An easier approach if you have an osCommerce site that you want to keep but just change the design to match that of the purchased template would be to use STSv4.5.8 to integrate the design into your existing shop. This insures you that you will not pick up any buggy code from the purchased template. See the following step by step post on this subject.
