[Resolved] Im having trouble installing a template

I downloaded the greenery template, but now I am stuck. I decided to upload it to /assets/templates/ (I think that’s it), but Now i dont know where to change the template. I’ve searched high and lowm but cant figure it out

I again recommend you to read the documentation first. It will save your as well as our time and you will get better understanding of how things work.

I did read that before, but there is no index.html file here.

That’s the template I am trying to instal

There are .tpl files in the archive:

First of all goto Resources->Template, click New Template, add the contents of template.greenery.tpl in the text area, save it as Greenery.

Now, goto Resources->Snippets, Click New Snippets, add the contents of snippet.SubMenu.tpl in text area and save it as SubMenu. Repeat this step for snippet.MenuBuilder.tpl and save it as MenuBuilder.

After setting up template and snippets, 2 chunks are left, the creation of chunks is same as snippets, but do it in Resources->Chunks. Create 2 new chunks, add the contents of chunk.sidebar-login.tpl and chunk.sidebar-news.tpl in there and save them as sidebar-login and sidebar-news respectively.

Your template is installed! Edit any document and select the "Greenery" in template drop down selection box.

Also uplpoad the greenery folder in assets/templates/ folder in your MODx install.

Hope this makes sense.
