iv gone thru the forums thuroughly looking for whats up with my template install. maybe someone can clarify something here.

iv uploaded 2 templates and placed them within my templates file next to templ_uni. both with there own names within the files, so no need to alter them within the ccs file (namewise). rite? i also copied the original uni file and renamed it within the codes just as a test.

so now i have the original UNI, a test template, and two others that i placed in there also. nice and neat, no problems. but under the site/admin/advanced settings, i only get uni in the drop down.

i have read so many posts and do see that all the files need renaming, wich i did with the test uni, but am i correct to assume that it doesnt need to be done for pre-built templates from outside sources? i read in one post about how uni gets cached in somewhere and that some other file needs to be alterd.

jeez guys, whats goin on here? nothing but uni is in my dropdown list.

inside the templates directory you will find tmpl_uni which is the uni default template.

All other dolphin templates will have a similar name. All prefixed with tmpl_

So the templates directory could look like this. Mine for instance.

base

tmpl_uni

tmpl_deanos_basic_black

tmpl_deanos_dark_red.

All templates directories start with tmpl_

This is a requirement.

Next inside the template directory itself is a scripts directory. In there there is a php script called BxTemplName.php

In that file contains the name of the template as it is to appear in the admin template list. That fille has a line that looks like this.

$sTemplName = 'UNI';

That line must be changed to give the template a name. Mine for instance is

$sTemplName = 'Deanos Basic Black';


Hope that information helps.

i have all that, but still not there under advanced settings. when i got the file, it was already named tmpl_blk.  what else could it be?

btw...im using dolphin 6.1.6

just to clarify something here, was the file BxTemplName.php

reason i ask sir is two-fold here, i've noticed in your posts that you use the word file/folder

synonymously

which confuses the shizzatt out of me. i also just got your PM, you cannot assume anything in this world. where one person will do something correctly, there are 20 others who are going to take the shortcut. you would need to look in the directory structure that you have with that template

templ_name/scripts/BxTemplName.php and see what the file name is

i have seen them uploaded and downloaded both ways, renamed and not renamed.
