Let's see how to rename JC Pets. You cannot rename a template by changing its folder name using FTP/SFTP, because the template regarding information are stored in different locations. The template is treated by Joomla as an extension, information are stored in the database, template files and language file.

Warning! After Template rename you have to update template files manually from new JC Pets - Default packages to get updates and also fixes.

Rename before installation

• Download the JC Pets - Default package (Zip file).
• You can rename the zip file jcpets_template.zip to YOUR_NAME.zip (Not Mandatory).
• Edit "installer.xml" file from package, Change jcpets inside template tag to YOUR_NAME
• Rename language file en-GB.tpl_jcpets.ini to en-GB.tpl_YOUR_NAME.ini
• Renamethe template name inside "templateDetails.xml" file.Change jcpets inside name tag to YOUR_NAME and en-GB.tpl_jcpets.ini inside language tag to en-GB.tpl_YOUR_NAME.ini and rename template name inside en-GB.tpl_jcpets.ini file SHAPER_HELIXULTIMATE ="JC Pets" to SHAPER_HELIXULTIMATE ="YOUR_NAME".You may also change content of description tag, but it is not obligatory. On update server, it's depends on your decision to keep or remove that part of code.
• The helper class name should be renamed TplYOUR_NAMEHelper in /template/helper.php file.
• We also recommend to change/override template thumbnail image: template\template_thumbnail.png - Override the images as 560x425px png format, keep this same file name.
• Now you can install this modified template as a new template and set as default. Don't worry it should be independent of original one, even if you used QuickStart before.
