Written Installation Instructions

STEP #1 - Download the template file

You can download the product from your order confirmation email. Look for the download link in this email, click on the link and save the template archive file to your local computer.

If you purchased your template thru AlgoZone.com, you can also download the template thru your order information page. To get to the order information page, please login to AlgoZone.com and select your order from the 'previous orders' section . Click on the view button to view the order information page. In the bottom of the page, you will find the download link. Click on the download link and save the file to your local computer.

NOTE: please remember the location where you dowloaded the template file on your local PC.

STEP #2 - Extract the template files from the archive

The download file comes in a standard linux archive format - .tar.gz . To open this file in windows, you can use the winzip.exe or winrar.exe programs. Both applications are available on the web for free.

Please remember the name of the directory where you have extracted the template files. After extracting the template, please go to the directory where you extracted the template files.

STEP #3 - Back up your existing files

Prior to installing the template, make a back up of your current osCommerce files and keep them somewhere safe.

STEP #4 - Install template files

In order to install the template, oscommerce should already be installed on your server. If you still need to install oscommerce on your server, you can get the software at www.oscommerce.com.

If your osCommerce store is hosted on a remote server, you need to use FTP software to upload( copy ) files to that location. Using the FTP software of your choice:

(1)	Go to the template_source directory of the open archive ( see step 2 ).
(2)	Select all files/directories in the template_source directory and upload( copy ) them to the main directory where your oscommerce files are located in your remote server. Hint: If you see files/directories like index.php, includes, admin ...etc, you are located in the main directory of your oscommerce store.

IMPORTANT: Verify that ALL files and directories from the template_source directory are copied to your server successfully

STEP #5 - Edit includes/application_top.php

If you are not comfortable making the changes by yourself, please seek the help of a qualified programmer. IF you have original oscommerce 2.3.1 installation and original includes/application_top.php file you can just rename application_top_original_with_mobile.php provided in the package to application_top.php and skip this step.
LOCATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:

// define general functions used application-wide require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'general.php'); require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'html_output.php');

INSERT THE FOLLOWING LINES AFTER ABOVE MENTIONED:

//#--------- Redirect to Mobile template BOF ----------------- require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_top_mobile.php'); //#--------- Redirect to Mobile template EOF ---------

Installation is complete.
