Thank you for purchasing our theme. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email via my user page contact form here. Thanks so much!
By reading this documentation you will be strongly able to manage your site. All sorts of things it will be very clear, and you will understand well.
In this section there are two ways to use the theme, first is using Theme Only and the second is using Demo
If you want to install your own drupal site or if you already have one and you want to use EDU theme for it, you will need to upload EDU theme at "sites/all/themes" or "sites/default/themes" folder. Then from this url "http://yourdomain/admin/appearance" you will fine it at the list with another themes, just click its Enable and set default link.
In this way, unfortunately, you will not see your site as demo, because may be you have different content types and of course different blocks.
ZIP file which you downloaded from Themeforest is containing demo installation with all source codes and content including sample images. Note that the images are not same as on the preview server because of image license. Copy the demo folder from the downloaded file into the webroot and rename the directory. In the demo directory you can find database dump named database.sql. Connect to your database server and create database and user. Don't forget to add correct permissions to new user to access the database. After that you need to modify sites/default/settings.php file. You have to set correct database credentials. Locate the $database array and set proper credentials. Now you can import the dump file. For import you can use SequelPro or PhpMyAdmin. Below you can see working example from settings.php.
$databases = array (
'default' =>
array (
'default' =>
array (
'database' => 'database_name',
'username' => 'database_user',
'password' => 'database_password',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'port' => '',
'driver' => 'mysql',
'prefix' => '',
),
),
);
With this type of installation you need realize that you are installing everything from our preview server (instead of images) so don't forget to set proper values for settings as email address, admin password, etc. Use this installation if you want exact copy of our preview installation. One more thing. The login and password is superadmin and 123456789.
We will explane every one of content:
For Course we are providing new Taxonomy Vocabulary named Course. Course has some fields. The fields are: "name", "description", "image", "is online", "is new", "number of lessons", "id", "level" and "start date". All fields except "name" are optional but for better user experience we reccomend to fill all these fields. Courses, which have true value in "is new" field, are displaying in the homepage so user can see all new courses on the front page.
You can easily manage Courses in (Structure - Taxonomy - Course) at this url "http://yourdomain/admin/structure/taxonomy/course". Feel free to add or edit any course, be careful in removing a course, be sure there is no lesson referred to it.

Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. If you have a more general question relating to the themes on ThemeForest, you might consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.
