Exporting/Compiling Templates?
«
on:
February 29, 2008, 00:36:07 »
Hi, I recently installed Elxis on my site and have been playing around with the template. I've created a template for my site that I am going to use, and felt that I might as well release it, if anybody else is looking for a similar feel to the one that I'm using.
Essentially, it's just an edit of the default "okto", but I figure that somebody might like it.
If anybody can help advise me on how to compile this into a self-installing template file, it'd be appreciated since I'd be able to give back to the community.

I have read that, it helped me as I was creating my template. Although it doesn't explain how to export my template into a useable file.
Not a big deal, I guess. It works fine on my site, I just figured it might have been worth sharing.

Ok, if everything is alredy working, go to templates/YourTemplate and select all files in that folder. Right-click and add to zip. That's it.
EDIT: You should name your installation .zip like this: tpl_YourTemplate_1.0.zip

Oh wow, it's that easy.
I've used other systems before and there's a complicated export process. Cool.

If you wish your template to be able to be installed via the Elxis installer you should create the XML file (
templateDetails.xml
). This file should contain all the files that consist your template. Open an existing one with a text editor such as pspad, notepad++, etc, to see how it is formatted. It is very easy to create it.
