I have been trying to install a theme which has the following folder structure to magento community installation but I never get it to work: 

theme
├── app
│   ├── code
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── design
│   │   ├── adminhtml
│   │   │   └── default
│   │   └── frontend
│   │       ├── base
│   │       ├── default
│   │       └── flatshop
│   ├── etc
│   │   └── modules
│   │       └── ...
│   └── locale
│       └── ...
├── js
│   ├── ...
├── lib
│   └── ...
├── media
│   └── ...
└── skin
    ├── adminhtml
    │   └── default
    │       └── flatshop
    └── frontend
        ├── base
        │   └── default
        ├── default
        │   └── default
        └── flatshop
            └── default

What should I copy to where in my magento installation? It’s for magento community 1.8.0.0

goto System =>Configuration=>Design settings

add flatshop instead of default on package name area.

  • I have the .zip uncompressed in another directory. what files from this uncompressed folder should I copy to the magento folder? – chamini2 May 03 '14 at 03:50
  • normally theme provider give guide on that. you need to copy several folders depending on the theme. try this http://blog.nexcess.net/2011/06/10/how-to-manually-install-a-magento-theme/ – Dakshika May 03 '14 at 04:49

The "theme" actually looks like it's a theme and a module. (I'm assuming the ... is a stand in for a huge list of files.

Your theme's folder structure mirrors a Magento folder structure. If you look at your Magento system you'll see it has a 

app/code/...
app/design/frontend

While the author of the theme is the only one who can tell you how to install it, it's a good bet you'll just want to copy the files from your archive into the same folder locations in your Magento system. The OS X ditto command does this well.

  • That was it. Although it worked when copying it to the server itself. For some reason, when using MAMP (OS X 10.9.2) it wouldn't work. – chamini2 May 03 '14 at 22:01
