Themes aren't in Themes folder

Post by Ziggy »

Hello. Why if I created new theme by "Create new theme", it isn't in \admin\themes ? There is only two themes called "NCleanGrey" and "default".

I think your problem is that the admin/themes folder is for the back end admin side not for front page themes...

NCleanGrey is both front and back theme...

All themes in admin/themes are for admin area only.
Themes for frontend that you install with ThemeManager are usually ending in uploads/NameOFTheme/.......

Ok here is how it works...

1) Anything in (root)/admin/themes is for the "backend/admin" side of things and yes there is a theme folder called NCleanGrey for the back end only...

2) There isn't a front end theme called NCleanGrey, there is a folder in uploads/ called ngrey and it holds all the images for the grey/black front end themes...

3) There is a theme/template called NCleanBlue and it has a folder in uploads/ called NCleanBlue with all the images that that theme uses...

4) You don't exactly understand how this system works, which is not like a flat file system, so I would suggest reading the default content here http://multiintech.com/defaultcontent/  starting with How CMSMS Works to get a better idea...

Short version...

The system holds all templates (HTML), which you will see in Layout » Templates, and style sheets (CSS), which you will find in Layout » Stylesheets, in the DB, all the images, JS, etc. are in folders in the (root)/uploads/ folder
