Anyone heard of Zen Cart?

[rukisuto]

So I got hired to create a website layout.
The people who hired me are using Zen Cart for their online store.
Is anyone familiar with this?

Because I need some help installing templates on this thing.
I've never heard of this program before.. I'm hoping someone knows something.

EDIT: I hope this is the right category. It was the closest I could get.

looks like the right place, is that a shopping cart software? it rings a bell but what do you need to do again? install template or the software itself?

[rukisuto]

I need to install a template.
As of now the template_default has been deleted from Zen Cart and now nothing will show up.
I used an FTP program to install that folder and it's STILL not showing up.

You have no idea how frustrated I am :[

Zen Cart is an open source online store management system. It is PHP-based, using a MySQL database and some HTML-components.

Is that to help me or Diablo?
Because I already know what it is.

1. r u sure the folder has been uploaded to the correct place?
2. are there valuable information to lose? because a reinstall may help
3. is there an admin panel that lets you control the templates?

i have heard of it but never really worked with it - im gonna download it in a bit and see if it works or what's going on but answers to those questions will help me skip out some parts

[rukisuto]

1. Yes, I've checked and rechecked.
2. For some reason I've already lost the template_default which is the skeleton for the website. So now the website does not show up. I've tried installing the folder AGAIN with the FTP program and it is not showing up.
3. Yes, there's an admin panel. I have to choose a template with the template selector. That's where it's not showing up. It's showing up dowloaded on the FTP program, but not on the website itself.

I hope you can help me. I'm hoping I don't have to go through a reinstallation because they already have some things set up on their and their cousin was the one who set it up for them.

I'm embarassed because I can't get their website to show up.

hm..if you want you can IM me on my aim sn (its in my profile) and i can have a look at it if u don't mind

ur just lucky im done with my midterms today :D otherwise i doubt i could have helped like this

im trying to set up mysql and php on my pc to test this thing out

[rukisuto]

Ok, thanks a bunch :]
I've been working with this for HOURS and getting no where.
It's extremely frustrating.

did you work it out yet?

[LiNuX]

did you work it out yet?

i tried a lot of things but i think the database is corrupted or got corrupted somewhere, neither ruki nor I have access to that :/ otherwise I could have gone into have a look and even downloaded it as a back up and reinstalled the whole software and then merge in some of the other info if any was lost

but if u have suggestions shoot it out

Diablo. I have no idea how to work these website codes and things. I hope you get this solved.

Me too.
I already contacted a relative of theirs that's hosting them.
I'm going to see if he can fix it, which he most likely can.
He just hasn't e-mailed me back.

I feel extremely bad for having this happen.
LiNuX did a good job trying to restore it though.
We just don't know what's blocking the templates.

we don't know cuz linux couldn't look at the database lol

well it could be the server got strict and started blocking something like i told u yesterday - it happened to me before, thats why in the SOTW's i wasn't able to set up the new sotw polls on the front page, the server was preventing me from doing that so it is a possiblity
