2. Goto your Zen Cart administration... 

Under the "Tools" menu choose 
-Template Selection 
-Edit 
-Choose "Theme 12541" from the dropdown menu 
-Click update 

3. Go to "Tools" then "Layout Boxes Controller" 
and turn on the sideboxes you would like to use. This template is set to both to  use  right and left sideboxes.

Turned on boxes on our demo preview 
then turn on the boxes on a theme demo preview:


tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->information->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Left, Left/Right Column Sort Order:1; ->Update; # Information;

tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->manufacturers->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Left, Left/Right Column Sort Order:2; ->Update; # Manufacturers;

tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->categories->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Left, Left/Right Column Sort Order:3; ->Update; # Categories box;

tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->shopping_cart->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Right, Left/Right Column Sort Order:1; ->Update; # Shopping cart;

tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->featured->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Right, Left/Right Column Sort Order:2; ->Update; # Featured;

tools->Layout Boxes Controller ->banner_box2->edit->Left/Right Column Status: ON; Location: (Single Column ignores
this setting) - Right, Left/Right Column Sort Order:3; ->Update; # Banner


If you would not like ANY sideboxes on this site, simply go to your admin under "Configuration", then "Layout Settings", and set the "Column Left Status - Global" to "0" and "Column Right Status - Global" to "0". This will turn off both left and right sideboxes globally, whether or not any of them are set to "on" under "Layout Boxes Controller".



4.  This step is not necessary, however it  will  help you to make your theme to  look exactly like http://osc.template-help.com/free_zen_cart_template/index.php. There are 2 ways of doing that:

b) Go to "Tools" then "Install SQL Patches" and choose our dump file \SOURCES\ZENCART_SHORT.SQL


5. If you wish to install an exact copy of our demo ZenCart store (including all the settings like information on categories, products, manufacturers, prices, etc.). you need to use \SOURCES\ZENCART_FULL.SQL dump file to update tables of your Zen Cart installation database. 
NOTE: This will affect the configuration of your ZenCart installation and overwrite all the data of your MySQL database. So make sure to back up all the data. Contact your webhosting company for assistance. 
Besides, copy the files from the folder \SOURCES\_IMAGES to the /images directory inside your Zen Cart installation. This will copy product images that are used in a zencart template to your installation. 
Once you have done this go to your administration control panel. You will be prompted to enter a username and password. Use 'admin' for username, and '1' for password. We recommend you to change your password once you log in (you can set your new password under 'Tools' > 'Admin Settings' > 'Reset PWD'). Now go to http://localhost/{zen-cart-directory} (if you are running on your own computer) or if on a live server - http://{www.mydomain.com}. Make sure the template is installed correctly.



6. To use your own logo, simply overwrite "logo.jpg" that is located in includes/templates/ 12541/images/ and upload. You can create an image that is larger than it is designed to be viewed, so that when someone increases their font size, the image will enlarge also. 



7. To change the site colors, go to includes/templates/ 12541/css, open files with CSS extension and follow the instructions found there. 



8. -->  To turn on the button of EZ pages you need to go to tools->EZ-Pages and select your menu item (ex specials), after that it will be displayed in the required position (Header);
