I followed the instructions (tried to) and for the life of me cannot install Zappa. Am I missing something? I downloaded both the source and the other and cannot find the elusive "Template folder".
I have " CSS, images, JS, and some loose files. Sorry if I missed the obvious, but if I was skilled at Joomla I wouldnt be buying templates. Thank you for your help.

Have you installed Joomla yet?
There are all sorts of guides and instructions at Beginners - Joomla! Documentation to help you start out.

I did Install Joomla. What I mean is I can't find the installer file (specific to J Junkie) I could FTP all of it I guess but I thought these where supposed to work different. Is there an "installer File"? and where is is? Thanks

I am not sure what installer file you are looking for. Tempaltes are installed via the Joomla backend via the installer.

Go to your Joomla backend and go to extensions/install. Then browse to the location of the template zip and press upload. That's it.

Ah. The problem was my mac automatically unzipped the files every time I downloaded the template and I could only select one file from the installer. I tried today from my work pc and no problem I browsed to the ZIP and wolah.
Thanks.
P..S. I downloaded and deleted the same template and one other trying to get it figured out. Does the license only count when I install the template or when I download it? If it is by the download... I'm f!@#ked and need help. Thanks

Here's some step by step instruction. let me know from these step what you have completed and what you having problems with.

1. Download Joomla from Joomla!. the latest version is Jooml 1.5.9
2. Unzip the files
3. Upload all the unzipped files to the FTP you are working on
4. Go to the http address of the FTP you upload joomla to.
5. Completed the installation of joomla
6. Log back onto to the FTP and delete or rename the installation folder.
7. go to your http address again
example of an http address is

http://mysite.co.za/administrator

8. log in to to your administrator end of joomla
example

http://mysite.co.za/administrator

you would have set the password for this during your joomla instalation
9. Go To Extensions > Installer
10. Click brows
11. Browse to the ZIP package of the template to upload
12. click install
13 once the template is installed go to extensions > Template Manger
14 check the radio button for the new template and click "Default" on the top-right.

The above tutorial would have shown you the following
1 Installation of joomla
2. installing a template
3 changing templates

Does the license only count when I install the template or when I download it?

The license is for a public site.
example: I have used Mocha on such and such site.

This equals one license being used.

I am trying to install the Mocha template but I get this message: Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
What do I do?

Hi ggwatt,

Before we dig deeper to figure out what's going on, please let me know if you've followed these installation instructions: Mocha Setup Guide

The classic Mocha template is discontinued, so I am assuming you are referring to the new Mocha themelet (which is powered by the Morph framework for Joomla)? :)

Cheers,
Tess

ggwatt · 02-21-2011

Thanks Tess. I think I am making some progress. I have gone back to the setup guide and have a first page of a site - but none of the links or extensions, or other "pages". The mocha themelet is showing - but in the tools menu for Joomla! it shows as "Morph". I really like the look of it and hope I can get it to work. It isn't picking up what I want.

Thanks very much.
