How to install magento themes?
Its not difficult to install new magento themes, but many of the people confused about setting default magento theme.
First – Let me explain, How to set any new theme as default theme.
e.g The directory structure for magento templates and layout is “app/design/frontend/” then there is package name “default” or “blank” or “anything you have as package ”
You can set this package from admin panel
System -> Configuration -> Design -> Package.
(In magento there is “default” so leave it as it is if your package is “default”)
Now in our product we provide theme for default package so you do not have to change package, you just have to set theme.
In our product we have “Magento Files” in it There are two directories “app” and “skin” and the full path are
“app/design/frontend/default/YOUR THEME NAME” and “skin/frontend/default/YOUR THEME NAME”
And, you have to put this theme name in admin panel to Activate it.
System -> Configuration -> Design -> Themes. and set the following
Translations = “YOUR THEME NAME”
Templates = “YOUR THEME NAME”
Skin (Images / CSS) = “YOUR THEME NAME”
Layout = “YOUR THEME NAME”
Default = “YOUR THEME NAME”
AND YOU HAVE DONE !
Sometimes it’s difficult to see updated theme when the CACHE is enable. So You have to clear your magento chache from Admin Panel
System -> Cache Management -> Cache Control
Disable cache, uncheck all checkbox and Save.
