so tell me what I'm doing wrong

I have XOOPS installed correctly. I want to install new templates. I see some that look nice. I download them, then try to upload them, but get an error message: Errors Returned While Uploading MIME type not allowed: application/x-zip-compressed

I'm assuming its because all the templates are .zip files but the XOOPS upload feature requires them to be tar.gz/.tar files with "a valid XOOPS template set structure."

So, where do I get templates that are tar.gz/.tar files with "a valid XOOPS template set structure?"

Or how do I convert the ones I have?

Thank you.

I might be wrong but I think you are confusing templates with themes. If you unzip the files you are taking about and there is a file inside called theme.html and style.css then those are themes. If this is right you need to upload the unziped theme to your theme directory and then you can use them.

Well, I'm referring to whatever it is that makes the site look different. I suppose you're right. Themes. But I see no place in the XOOPS admin to upload themes.

Or maybe I'm missing it?

themes is a folder inside your XOOPS installation, you need to ftp the theme you want to use to the themes folder.

Manually FTP the themes in the Themes folder on your site, then choose the theme you wish to see from Admin--->Preferences

Make sure you upload the folder containing the theme.html style.css etc...

In the FAQ section on 'themes' you will find links to visual tutorials for uploading themes. HTH
