How do I add new dolphin skin template?

dlhookup posted 12th of May 2008 in Community Voice. 11 comments.


Hello,

As a new user and someone not overly technically savvy, I hope everyone will allow me to ask what I am certain is a fairly simple question that has been answered many times. However..I cannot seem to find a post that is directly on point.

I have purchased a skin template for my Dolphin v. 6.0.0005 and now have unzipped the emailed files.

The "Read me" document says: 

 Installation:

1. unzip the files and paste the tmpl_ale folder to root\templates
2. go to admin panel>>settings>>advanced settings (to make the template as 'Default' template on your site).


My questions then are:

1. How do I access the root\templates in admin? I cannot seem to find this area...
2. How do I "paste" the tmpl_ale folder there? Is it as simple as a cut and paste or do I somehow upload the folder?
3. Once I have added the tmpl_ale, will the admin panel automatically offer me this as an alternative choice to UNI?

I am very grateful for any help that might be given to me!

Hi,

You should upload the tmpl_ale dir to the templates dir using a ftp program

After uploading, go to admin panel>>settings>>advanced settings and choose the skin there

I am most grateful for your help.

Can you tell me where I look to find the templates directory? I can't find anything in my admin panel that refers to templates....

I just went through this and someone helped me you have to upload the template you want to use into the public_html/templates
for it to show up on the drop down menu in the admin-settings-advance settings the its just set it to the one you uploaded and save

you can upload the tmpl_xxx directory to templates folder after that log in to admin panel under Settings -> Advance Settings -> Templates you might see a drop down in that you may find your template name. Let me know if you are facing the same problem.

Thanks,
Omi

I have an uploaded new template as public_html / templates / tmpl_xxx. Then. I went to Admin Panel >> Advance settings >> change the template. However, why is there only UNI template available, not the new one?
