I am trying to install the following Magento template into my online store:
http://www.magthemes.com/magento-themes/free-themes/fitness-magento-theme.html
I am using this theme as it closely resembles the design/layout that I am after (I will have to tweak the CSS after installation).
Here is what I have done so far:
Unzipped downloaded file
Transferred the following folders to my server:
app\design\frontend\default\Fitness_1.1 to
/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
skin\frontend\default\ to /public_html/skin/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
Gone to my sites Admin > System > Configuration > Design
Entered the following:
Templates: Fitness_1.1
Skin (Images / CSS): Fitness_1.1
Layout: Fitness_1.1
Default: default
The theme changed, images changed etc but the Layout is not right and some styles are incorrect, you can see what I mean here:
http://89.200.141.67/~skin/index.php/
Your CSS files aren't loading. Try explicitly setting the skin directory in:
Admin>System>Configuration>Design - Skin (Images/CSS) form field
Uncheck the use website checkbox and make sure that your Current Configuration Scope (the drop down on the top left) is correct.

i updated a magento store from 1.6 to 1.9. I got some problems with the one page checkout. At first i cant order anything. I resolved this with adding the formkey. The 2nd problem is that this:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('checkout_progress_wrapper');?>
does not show anything. I am using my own theme and checkt out the old xml with the new one but there seem to be no changes. The div isn't even parsed empty it's juzst not shown. Hope someone can help me.
Here are some step for upgrading magento
Take a backup of current database and current 1.6 code. place maintenance.flag file inside 1.6 code folder to put website offline.
Download latest magento from the http://www.magentocommerce.com/download
Remove all folders and files from your 1.6 code except maintenance.flag (but you should have backup somewhere) and place all folders and files from the 1.9.x
Now from your 1.6 merge your following custom folders into the 1.9.x
Community app/code/community
Local app/code/local
Media
your theme or package (app/design/frontend/default/<your theme> or app/design/frontend/<your package>)
custom folders from Skin (both for adminhtml and frontend).
copy your custom xml files from app/etc/modules/ to current app/etc/modules/
any custom admin theme folder from adminhtml/default/yourtheme.
copy your custom folders from adminhtml/default/default/ (1.6) to adminhtml/default/default/ (1.9.x).
custom js files if any from app/js/.
Now go to app/etc/local.xml.Edit database details their.put your database username and password and database name.
Remove maintenance.flag file and check the site in the browser. it is done.
I'm trying to install new free Joomla template called gk_magazine. In the download page, I found three links to three zip files for Joomla 3.x:
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_J!3.zip
I downloaded the three files to my computer and I tried to install them one by one in the following order:
gk_magazine_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly and Gk_magazine template becomes listed in the template manager and it has been set as default as the screen shot shows.
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly too, but there is no any additional items appeared in the template manager.
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip: It does not installed - Warning JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
I saw similar situations with other Joomla templates and I need to know what are the rules of each file described above in the installation of the new templates? are all of them are important? or just the first file only?
From the file structure you can tell what it is!
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip:
This one is as the name says it 'rest files' means: plugins, notes for a module and a few photoshop images (*.psd)
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip:
This one is a Joomla Site with the gk_magazine_J!3.zip Template which you can find in the folder templates
gk_magazine_J!3.zip:
This one is a template
EDIT:
Also what's Joomla Site with gk_magazine template mean too?
It means that this is a basic Joomla site which you can copy into your server root folder (e.g. htdocs on XAMPP)
You can see the templates in the templates folder here:
beeze3, protostar and system are some Joomla standard templates which are all in a new basic Joomla site. There also beeze5 or beeze20 as an example, but these are not automatically included in the basic Joomla site
i've created a new website under a working Magento install. The old website works fine, but the new one doesn't load the theme css. I can see it loads the .phtml files when enabling Template Path Hints.
I've already checked basic things 100 of times, so...
set theme to desired one
refresh Magento cache
check source code to see whats the css path
use i.e. firebug to see what css is being loaded
can you show your file structure?
whats the theme name?
I have installed the latest version of Magento 1.6.0.0-rc2 and tried to install the package and theme which I had developed on Magento 1.5.x
The package has been installed in magento/app/design/frontend/packagename
I have also entered 'packagename' in System -> Configuration -> Design -> Current Package Name.
In app/design/frontend/packagename/default/layout/page.xml I have specified for default 'All Pages':
<block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml" template="page/2columns-left.phtml">
Yet when I turn on template hints, I see that the main template being used is base/default/template/page/2columns-right.phtml.
I have verified that design/frontend/packagename/default/template/page/2columns-left.phtml does exist.
I have been trying everything to debug this, but I can't seem to figure out where it is getting 2columns-right.phtml from (which config file). I even tried to log the xml files loaded but they didnt show any of the custom xml files in the theme package being loaded.
Any suggestions on what could be the problem or what to try ?
Thanks.
Edit:
A couple of points.
Cache is disabled.
The new package/theme displays, I'm able to see the css/images/js. Some of the template files with template hints enabled are from packagename, but the main ones seem to be from base.
Page template is not set just in page.xml, but even in catalog.xml, catalogsearch.xml, customer.xml... I mean, almost every pages have his own layout.
The layout set in page.xml is valid only for CMS pages. All other pages have other settings that override it.
Which page are you looking at? A category page or a CMS page? Try different pages and see what happens!

Please tell me the region why this is happening when i select my own template in design mode then there is an error in error-console error is :--- undefined xt/javascript">
After you paste the template, make sure the file is readable by the web server. Insufficient right is the main reason you are not able to modify it.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean about the copy and paste. But the best way to create an Interspire theme is to use the default folder or one of the other ready made templates and do the following:.
Let's say you decide to use the "default" theme. Copy the entire folder somewhere on your computer and rename the folder to the name you'd like your theme to have.
If you are changing specific files, copy those files from _master to the correct directories in your new theme folder.
Upload to your server and activate.
Your theme file names have to remain the same. i.e. you can't rename the files themselves, only the top level theme folder they are in.
Then you can open up the files and make your changes inside of them.
Even though it's possible. I stopped using the built in theme editor once we took the step to create our own theme. For one, doing so kept removing our custom panels when we hit the "save" button.
