| CRE Loaded Template Structure |
You have received your CRE Loaded Template ZIP package and unpacked it. Let's see what you have inside:
- "screenshots" - contains screenshots of the template.
- "theme_xxx" - contains CRE Loaded template files.
- "sources" - contains the source files.
"clipart_library" - contains free clipart .PSD files - all the elements are arranged in several files. "fonts" - contains all the fonts used in .PSD files - True Type (.TTF), Adobe fonts (PFB\PFM), or both. "psd" - contains Adobe Photoshop .PSD files.
Note: For security reasons the sources folder is in a zipped file and is password protected. To uncompress a password protected .ZIP file you will need to have a zip file utility program installed and the correct password. As soon as the zip file begins to uncompress, you will be prompted to type in the password. The password is the ID number of your order. You can find this number on the order page which is provided to you through a link that we sent to you via email. |
| CRE Loaded Template Installation | |
You should have the CRE Loaded software installed on your server. CRE Loaded is an open source, OsCommerce based shopping system with CRM and affiliate management built in. When you have the CRE Loaded software installed, unpack the template package that you got from our website.
There will be a folder named "themeXXX" (where "XXX" is a three digit number) inside an unpacked ZIP file. Place the files in their own directory ("themeXXX") in the "/templates" directory inside your CRE Loaded installation. This will copy the template files of the CRE Loaded template to your installation.
Go to your administration control panel. To install the template click "Design Controls > Insert". Select "themeXXX" from the drop down list. Click "Save". This will load a new page where you can update the infobox settings. Click "Install" after you have done this.
To make the template active you must navigate to "Design Controls > Template Configure". Then click on the template "name > Edit > check Set as sites default" box and click "Save".
Once you have done this, go to the "http://localhost/{creloaded-directory} " (if you are running on your own computer) or, if on a live server - "http://{www.mydomain.com}". Make sure the template is installed correctly.

| CRE Loaded Engine Structure | |
CRE Loaded is the integration of the standard osCommerce and BTS (Better Template System) and its add-ons. CRE is created in such a way that while requesting for a page the engine redirects you to the template registered as default, in case there is no page the standard one is used instead.
The CRE Loaded templates always consist of the following elements: - the header; - the left column; - the central column (the content); - the right column; - the footer.
The templates columns are divided into the main and the secondary ones. The main column covers the product listing. From the main column, there should be two more, the secondary one to the left and the one to the right. The secondary columns contain the so-called "information boxes". Both the left and the right columns enclose the "infoboxes".
The header The header consists of the logo and the name of the store, the main menu that holds five aspects as follows: - home page; - new products; - specials (including the rebate); - my account (the clients page); - contact us;
The left and right columns The left and right columns contain both the info boxes and the banners. The Banner introduces the graphic collage with a text of an advert nature.
|
| CRE Loaded Template Content | |
The content part of the first page always has a box of Featured Products that represents the list of products. The Featured Products box consists of the heading with a text of Featured Products and a listing. The listing can be of two types: by column and by string.
String type The Heading - The Listing
Column type The Heading - The Listing
The product listing is divided into the boxes and each of them represents the info of one product only. Each product box always has the name of the product, its image, price and the description (optional) and two buttons "view" and "add to cart" (with a different color).
Footer - the logos of the merchant systems - the functional links (Log In | My Account | Checkout) - the links to: Privacy Policy | Terms Of Use - Text Copyright 2007 CRE Loaded Store

| CRE Loaded Template Infoboxes |
The info boxes are the interface elements that combine one kind of information only. Any info box has both the heading and the content. Below is the sample of such a heading and the part of the info box.
The boxes.tpl.php file contains the classes for the information output. The kit of any kind of class gives out the table with the parameters and the content that is further on passed to the class kit. So far as any info box consists of the heading and the content, for the output accordingly it uses two classes "infoBoxHeading" and infobox. Taking into account that info boxes can be of different design it is in need to use different type classes for the output. In order to fulfill this there is a mechanism of inheritance so that the standard class is inherited several times under different names.
The Info boxes are divided into several types:
- The string data (Categories, Bestsellers, Information, FAQ, Affiliate, Info pages, Articles, Shopping cart, Links, Who is online); - Products (Featured, Specials, Reviews, Latest products); - The input blocks (Select template, Quick Find, Manufacturers, Currencies, Advanced search, Tell a friend, Languages, My account).
