How to Install Premium Plone Themes on Plone 4

After you competed buying process for any of Quintagroup Premium Themes on 2CheckOut, Inc., you will receive a zip archive of  theme product source - quintagroup.theme.themename-version.zip,

To install this theme on your Plone 4 site:

1. Unpack source archive quintagroup.theme.themename-version.zip into your instance's src directory
2. Open buildout.cfg file in the root of your instance
3. Add reference to the theme products location (to src directory) under [buildout]:
   

   [buildout]
   parts = 
   .....
   develop = src/quintagroup.theme.themename

4. Add quintagroup.theme.themename to the list of eggs to install and tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:
   

   [instance]
   recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
   ...
   eggs =
          ...
          quintagroup.theme.themename
   zcml =
          ....
          quintagroup.theme.themename

5. Re-run buildout with the following command in the terminal::
   

   ./bin/buildout

6. Restart the Zope server, for example, with the following command in the terminal:
   

   ./bin/instance restart

7. On your Plone site go to Site Setup -> Add-ons
8. Select the theme among products available for installation and press 'Activate'.

Important Note

In case you get zope-schema-related version conflict (Error: There is a version conflict. We already have: zope.schema 3.5.4 but z3c.form 2.4.2 requires 'zope.schema>=3.6.0) during buildout re-run, please add the following address to the list of extends in your buildout.cfg file:

[buildout]
...
extends =
...
http://good-py.appspot.com/release/plone.app.registry/1.0b2

This should resolve the version conflict. This conflict usually appears for themes that use Products.Carousel as their dependency.
