I'm attempting to create my own theme for amember 4, and I would like it to look a lot like the default theme. How can I create a new theme for the client area that looks like the default theme? I tried copying the "sample" theme but it really does not look anything like the "default" theme. If I simply edit the default theme files, then when I update aMember all my changes will be over-written. If I can get a theme that is exactly like the default theme for a starter "base" to build my own that would be great. Thanks!
Go to /%aMemberRoot%/application/default/ You will see a "views" folder and a "themes" folder. The "views" folder is pretty much the default theme. You want to copy the contents of the views folder in to /%aMemberRoot%/application/default/themes/ThemeName Then you would enable the theme here: http://amemberurl.com/admin-setup under User Themes, your theme will be listed. You should start with layout.phtml and work from there. The sample theme you speak of is exactly what it is: a sample, something to give you some pointers. Anything in your theme directory will override the actual file in the views directory.
