no css files, no themes, empty folders
Permalink
Hi there, I'm new to Concrete 5 and I've installed it onto a server. When I FTP into the folder where I installed it there are no css files or themes. The packages folder is empty and so is the css folder. I have created a site with the plain yogurt theme but there is nothing there. Can anyone help?
This empty folder structure helps later if you edit the files and then update concrete, your edits are not changed, and should not have to be re applied.
It may same weird but its a much better way of keeping your changes separate to the core.

Hi, thanks for the help
Only one problem. How do I now link my site to my new css files in YOURSITE/themes/default/main.css instead of YOURSITE/concrete/themes/default/main.css?
It should just magically work (because css paths are referred to by a php function that says "whatever the path of my theme happens to be, use that").
aaahh It didn't occur to me to start editing it until I knew how to refer to it. I'm used to html referring to specific css files. I can't get my head round this php stuff.
Note that if you plan on customizing one of the built-in themes, instead of modifying the files there, you should copy the theme's folder to YOURSITE/themes, and edit them there -- that way you always have the original to fall back to in case of problems (and also it's easier to find everything when you're consistent about always having the themes you're working on in that YOURSITE/themes/ directory)
