I purchased a template from an online store. It came with CRE Loaded 6.4. I did the entire install off the download of the template. How do I know which files are CRE's and which are the templates? How do I find the associations from CRE that calls for the template files?

I want to do a new install of CRE Loaded 6.4.1. I want to add the template files after I have my store configured. Can I do this? Does this make sense?

Thanks,

The template files will be in the template folder. Unless it's a poorly written template it shouldn't alter any CRE core files. The template files should all be in the template folder.

Hi Jody,

How are the associations built into the files? I mean, how does CRE know which temp file to pull up? Is it like a index.html/php file?

Thanks,

Is there like a single line drawing of how it all operates? I have also purchased the book "ShowMe Guides CRE Loaded User Manual for ALL VERSIONS". I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Thanks,

You select the template you want to show in the Admin >> Design Controls and that modifies the database that CRE uses to display the template you chose. It doesn't modify CRE core files. All the core files are written to look at that field in the database representing your template selection (in simple terms).

Best regards

Where did you get the template from? Which version of CRE Loaded 6.4.? Did it come with?

Standard, CE, PRO, PRO B2B?

typically the template files are in the /template/{templatename}/ folder.

I purchased the template from "Level Ten Hosting", they also provided me with the CRE Loaded software. I've having problems with the software. In the Admin section, when I try to create a new account in the Customer/Orders section, I receive the following error message after I try to submit the form:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_validate_email() in /home/content/00/5421700/html/bestdiscountpetsupplies/admin/create_account_process.php on line 103"

But if I create a customer on the store front-end, it creates the customer.

When I try to save the changes I made in my "About Me" page I receive the following error message:

"1062 - Duplicate entry '2-1' for key 1 UPDATE pages_to_categories SET categories_id = '1', page_sort_order = '20' WHERE pages_id = '2' [TEP STOP]"

But it still saves the changes to the site.


I just reinstalled CRE Loaded as well as a new MySQL database. I'm still receiving these error messages. "Level Ten Hosting" wants to charge me $60.00 to repair these issues. I explained that they provided me with the software and I installed it per the instructions. It still doesn't work . They will not refund my money and/or help me unless I pay them the $60.00. They also said that if I used them as my hosting company they would support my site for free.

So with that, I've posted about half a dozen posts here to try to get some help with my issues. Anything you guys could do I would appreciate it. I did purchase "ShowMe Guides CRE Loaded User Manual for ALL VERSIONS" which according to UPS's website it should be delivered tonight.


Thank you for any help or suggestions.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're just another victim of Level Ten. You don't know if you have a full unedited copy of the CRE files and will most likely need to purchase CRE and a template.

This is just another example of these "cheap" web hosting services misrepresenting or just plain lying about what they can offer. You don't get something for nothing regardless of what a company promises. These hosting companies offering unlimited this and that with free CRE and a free template are nothing but scams. I'm surprised how many gullible people (no offense to OP) believe this stuff. Why would anyone need to purchase a VPS or dedicated server if they could get unlimited services for $10 a month or less? I see why my datacenter is growing by leaps and bounds and they're triple Level 10 price (funny he uses them and undercutting them - lol). They don't lie and they don't steal CRE's hard work and use it as a marketing gimmick.

I find it amusing that he uses the same datacenters I do and he's using the datacenter's trademark Heroic Support which they registered years ago. I guess he doesn't know the cost of an Intellectual Property Attorney. I could offer the same service he does but the difference is I won't lie and steal to make $10 a month off some poor sap. This is the third person I know of THIS WEEK that thought they'd sign up for a $10 a month hosting account to get VPS level web hosting service with free $500 CRE B2B plus a free $150 template. Imagine that the service wasn't as represented - surprise surprise.

The infamous words, "There's a sucker born every minute" David Hannum comes to mind.

Before Level 10 comes and tells me I'm full of BS I back up my position with some links from THEIR customers.

Sorry to hear you got taken, maybe others will do some research before signing up for something so phony and ridiculous as getting $650 worth of software plus hosting for $10 a month.

Best regards

Ditto... beware of levelten and websitetemplatedesign. If you purchased from them and received a POS template or shady service... file fraud charges and charge back your card.

Why this company doesn't take a few extra minutes (couple hours?) to fix their crappy service/templates is beyond me.

Beware! Beware!

I also purchased a template from them and ran into multiple issues one of which was mentioned here with the customer creation problem in the admin area. And many others, such as when adding options to products there appears a blank area out of nowhere which is missing some image and is nowhere to be found. Another is: When creating a customer New York appears twice, also User is not able to create an account, always says state is not selected, and verification code does not match. “The security code you entered did not match the one displayed.”, and when banner 1 is deleted the whole template is messed up, and remove languages doesn't work in the admin area under template administration. I have a whole list of these errors.
I contacted the seller and i am currently waiting for their reply. If they do not provide me with a working template i will have to do it the hard way as you mentioned above.

Thanks to all.
