I just bought a template from template monster.
Ok its broken because it is for mysql-4 and my host runs mysql-5 and I didn't look into it before I bought it.
I contacted help who told me after finding out I am using mysql-5 to submit a ticket for help and tutorials on how to fix it.
The ticket response was, its for mysql-4 not mysql-5. Thats it......
In addition, the the demo behaves differently to the version I downloaded.
Clicking on a menu item opens a sub menu. Where as the demo just shows the products for that category.
So now I have to recode the menu to get back to how it was shown in the demo.
And I have to fix all the mysql-4 commands to mysql-5 standards.
The correct response from the help desk should have been.
A. Would you like us to get the code back to how the demo runs ?
B. We will have the template updated to mysql-5 ASAP (witch is backwards compatible to mysql-4)
I got the template to save me some time in setting up the shop.
Now I have to spend my time getting it to work.
I might as well have made my own from scratch.
I will never purchase a template from template monster again............... There templates are OUTDATED....
EDIT:
And none of the images from the language folder show up either.
I dont know if that is mysql-5 related or not.
