Hopelessly Lost, Installing Themes VIA STS

[shawnhat]

I finally got the STS to take in my RC 2.2a Install, (running the 4.6 install) I see in other posts where it refers to modding the sts_templates.html file, however, I don't see this, I have pulled a few free themes down, that i'd like to see how they make the site look. So my question is, can someone guide me as to how to upload these themes or give some clue to where I can find layman instructions? Thanks again!

If the "themes" you are referring to are STS Template themes, then you would simply upload the new theme folder to your includes/sts_templates/ folder and then all you do from there is simply select what you them you want to use in the shop's admin via a nifty drop down menu.

 

If the "themes" you are referring to are NOT STS Template themes but rather osCommerce (entire shop) themes, then you need to do some work. Take a look at my step my step for such a scenario
