only 1 way to find out, try one

, but you know you can just upload them to the folder though right? Or is this for distributing to others?

[Marga123]

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it's for distributing to others.

Is there anything in the virtuemart 2
manuals how to make a template xml installer
because, that will be very helpful

Many thanks again for your time

no manuals on this.
Its going to be the same as installing themes for all joomla components.

Do you have any xml theme installer files for other components?

For module, and template there is a type=module   type=template

Etc, Im sure its going to be different for view/themes though. It somehow has to know what files go where.

edit::

I just looked in my mosets tree site at one of the themes.
It has this.
<install type="template">

Sorry for the late reply BanquetTables.pro

Many Thanks again

Best Regards
