Just first of all ive installed joomla 1.5 using fantastico with joomla default settings and pages.
I want to know on how to install Joomlart templates using the Quickstart files. Do i need to use the ftp program and upload each and every file name? e.g admin>….>….file?
thank you

Hi jbright,
Not to discourage you, but fantastico installations should be avoided and one should learn to install Joomla! manually. Its pretty easy and you can even view video’s on how to do it on YouTube.
Since, you used fantastico to install joomla, that means you have just started with the site. In that case you can use our Quickstart package of the template. Quickstart package is nothing but joomla! added with our sample data.. so when you install it you get the clone of our demo site for you to work on.
Quickstart is installed manually, in the same way one would install joomla!.
Alternative :
If you already have a site and wish to install one of our templates and want them to look the way they look in the demo site. You would need to do the following :
1. Take backup of your current site. (recommended practise not only for templates but all the time you take major steps).
2. Install template using the joomla install / uninstall feature.
3. Install all the complimentary extensions (you can find them in the download section, along with the template download).
4. Check the template forum for userguide, which has the screenshots of the template and extensions backend, Configure your newly installed template / extension with exact settings, and it would reflect the changes as seen in the demo site.
However, to access commercial club templates, you would need to be a active member.
Regards
Arvind
