D7 - Changing templates

Hi guys,

I've successfully installed D7b7 and made all my settings etc. So far so good. I want to make some cosmetic changes to the design so I've created a new template but I can't get it to load and it isn't available in advanced settings to select. I've done a quick search in this forum for advice and found nothing that works.

Below is what I have done. If you can see if I've missed something please let me know.

  • In cpanel file manager: created new folder in templates and renamed it tmpl_newname; copied all files from base into new folder; made changes to css files and images in tmpl_newname; edited BxDolTemplate.php file (in inc/classes) by adding new template name in the six appropriate places
  • In Admin: cleared caches; looked for new template in Advanced Settings - only Uni available
  • Opened website in browser - same default template loads.
Thanks in advance!
Adrian

P.S. At first, as my site is a mock-up, I changed all my files and images in base (and later in Uni) which worked fine at first but then the top menu disappeared leaving just text links. I re-installed D7b7 and started again.

Hello,

Make a copy from UNI template, but not from base.
