Step 2
in Installing a Xoops Template:
Next you will need
to load your FTP client. A FTP client
is used to transfer files from your computer to your website hosting
space. If you do not have a FTP client, some popular choices include:
AceFTP
Freeware
WS_FTP
FileZilla
After your FTP software is
downloaded and installed, you will need to contact your website host
for specific details on how to connect to your website space.
Once you have
connected to your website space, you will need to
FTP to your website and upload the files from your extracted Xoops
template. In
the left window pane, you will need browse to the location where the
template was downloaded, which again, will have an extracted folder
name similar to:
TS-Xoops-TemplateName
You will then enter a
directory further to:
TS-Xoops-TemplateName\XoopsTemplate\
Once you have
entered into the above directory on your hard drive, it
is time to transfer
your Xoops template files to your server. The template folder has a
name similar
to TS-TemplateName. This
directory will need to be uploaded to the themes directory within Xoops.
To upload the file, select the TS-TemplateName folder that is stored within the "XoopsTemplate"
directory and
dragging it to the right hand window pane to the themes directory on your server.
After the template has
been
uploaded to your "themes" directory of Xoops, it will
appear on
both
the left and right window panes of your
FTP client:
