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.

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 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.

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

The templates file structure can be shown as:

1. The files of the infoboxes (the "/boxes" folder)
2. The content files (the "/content" folder)
3. The images used in the template (the "/images" folder)
4. The modules of the main page (the "/mainpage_modules" folder)
5. The Listing modules (the "/modules" folder):

The boxes.tpl.php file the class file of the infoboxes.
The extra_html_output.php file the file of general input functions.
The header.php file the template header
The footer.php file the template footer
The mainpage.tpl.php file the template framework
The stylesheet.css file the template styles file
The "templates name" .SQL file the installation .SQL script.

All the parts of template are toggled over the mainpage.tpl.php file.

On the product info page only the information on one product is displayed. The header, right and left columns and the footer stay without changes. The following elements are displayed in the content part:

• The heading with the product name is identical to the product listing on the category page.
• The image of the product.
• The product price.
• The text: "This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 25th - August, 2008."
• The buttons: "reviews", "add to cart"

The image can be placed both to the right or to the left of the description.

On the shopping cart page the clients cart input is given. The header, both right and left columns and the footer stay without changes. The table of the shopping cart has the following columns:

• Remove with a checkbox
• Product(s) has a full size product image and to the right of it a bit of the attribute description.
• Qty. The field for the data to input the 1 key.
• Total the price in the format of $101.99.

In the table, the following line is placed beneath with the right alignment: "Sub-Total: $101.99". Below is the place for the three buttons in the following order: Update Cart, Continue Shopping, Checkout.
