Where are the instructions for creating an EasySocial theme?
There is little useful information there.

I actually found better info here: http://docs.easysocial.io/administrators/templating, in the admin docs, not the developer docs, for some reason.

Hello,

I've read through the developer docs and tried a simple test... I copied the Wireframe theme files, renamed the new folder 'Test' and changed template.json as follows:

{
"name" : "Test",
"element" : "test",
"desc" : "COM_EASYSOCIAL_WIREFRAME_INFO",
"author" : "Me",
"email" : "me@domain.com",
"website" : "http://domain.com,
"created" : "17th Apr 2015",
"version" : "1.0.0",
"servers" :
{
"update" : "http://www.domain.co.uk",
"version" : "http://www.domain.co.uk"
}
}

If I refresh the EasySocial control panel, I see there is a new template there but there's no name or element shown.

I then tried to install by moving the new directory somewhere else; removing all the .css and min.css files (because they are compiled by ES) and zipping. When I attempt to install us ES admin it says that it's been installed but there are no files in the template directory and noting listed in the admin interface.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Christopher,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Can you attached to us the theme zip file so that we can have a look on your theme.

Please advise.
