Theme Issues

OK, so we’re having two issues with themes … and here they are:

  1. We’ve read the different posts on these forums about how to go about creating the theme zip, and we’ve been completely unsuccessful in all aspects.

  2. We’ve updated the theme “Vanilla Ice” however, sometime between yesterday and today, our changes were reversed.

Can anyone give me some tips on this?

Thanks in advance!

l33tnet, have you followed the Theme Howto?:

  1. We’ve updated the theme “Vanilla Ice” however, sometime between yesterday and today, our changes were reversed.
    A guess, but if you only modified the Vanilla Ice theme and did not name it something else, it probably got overwritten in the last 3.0.3 update (just published)

How do I go about re-naming it? Can I just re-name the directory that is in the siteworx/nodeworx templates dir?

Renaming the directories will not do it I believe.
Easiest is to follow the howto:

  1. Download i.e the Vanilla theme to your computer and unzip it.
  2. Change the name of the folders:

    odeworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name>
    …\siteworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name>
  3. Change the stylesheets and javascript filenames:

    odeworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name><your_template_name>.css

    odeworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name><your_template_name>.js
    …\siteworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name><your_template_name>.css
    …\siteworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name><your_template_name>.js
  4. Change the …
    odeworx\smarty emplates<your_template_name>\Manifest.txt file, i.e:

[your_template_name]
name=“Your Template Name v1.0”
author=“you”
url=“http://if.you.want/
preview=“your_template_preview_image.gif”
type="public

  1. Change whatever you need in the nodeworx/siteworx template files and add images etc.
  2. zip the directories nodeworx/ and scriptworx/ to a zipfile and upload.

Word wonders (with the exception of the uploading part). Thank you!
