Hi I am working with V5.1 .1 and have created a bespoke skin for my store. I realise this is not best development practise... I built my skin over the default 'vanilla' skin which comes packaged with V5 but havent changed the name of the folder/skin. So essentially I now have the vanilla skin looking completly different and I want to give it a unique name to suit so that I can load it via the skin settings in the admin panel and I dont have to worry about having it overwritten in the future when I upgrade. I have now changed the name of the skin/folder and I see the name change in my FTP client but for some reason Cubecart doesnt recognise the skin/folder as it doesnt appear as one of the skin options under the skin settings drop down menu in admin. I know the new skin works because its all working very well under the default name of vanilla. I tried downloading the skin folder and renaming it and then uploading it again to the skins directory but still not recognised. I have all the default skin options available but not my bespoke skin. I am probably missing something fundamental here. Can anyone throw some light on this for me please? I should mention that I am currently working with the free version as I wanted to try before I buy. This may have some bearing on the specific issue I am experiencing? Many thanks
