Template installation instructions
1. Download files
The first step is to download the template. Once you have downloaded it, Unzip the files to your local computer.
2. Upload the files
Using an FTP program such as Filezilla, CuteFTP, etc. you will now upload the unzipped folder into “templates/”.
All files should be uploaded in ASCII format (also known as “text” format). Images should be uploaded in binary format.
3. Set File Permissions
Note: If you are hosted on a Windows server you will skip this step, but you should ensure that the files and directories are writable by vldPersonals. You may need to contact your Host or server admin for this.
If you are using a Unix server (or Unix variant, like Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, etc.) you must set the following directories to 777 (where “template_name” is the name of your template):
- templates/template_name/tmp/
4. Activate template
Log in to control panel of vldPersonals and go to “settings » templates”.
You should see your template in the list. Click on the “install” icon next to the template name to activate it.
5. Changing system template
In the control panel go to “settings » look and feel”.
You should see a drop down box with available templates. Select the one you like and click on “submit” to save it.
