Dream weaving template What should I do after downloading? Many novices may encounter this problem when using Dedecms to build a website. below Love weaving dreams The website gives you a comprehensive answer.
First of all, we need to know whether the download is a pure template package or a packaged source code.
If it is a pure template package. We also need to go to the official website of Dedecms to download a native dream weaving program (if the source code is packaged on the whole site, we don't need to go to the official website to download the dream weaving source code)
Note: The templates provided by iDream for download are all packaged source code for the whole site, so there is no need to download the dream program.
Dream program download address:
You need to select the code corresponding to the template. If the template is UTF8 encoded, download the UTF8 program
If the template is GBK, download the GBK program. Of course, if you prefer UTF8 programs, but the template is GBK, you can use transcoding tools to transcode the template.

After downloading the dream weaver, unzip it to get the folder DedeCMS-V5.7-UTF8-SP1
There are two subfolders: docs and uploads.
Uploads is the dream weaving program we need.


After getting the complete and pure dream weaving program, we will copy the files in the template package. Prompt to overwrite the file to confirm the overwrite.
Then upload the source code of dream weaving program covering the template package to the server.
Then visit //domain name/install/index.php to install
After installation, enter the website background
Click System on the right →【 Database backup/restore

After entering the Restore Database interface, remember to click Data Restore on the to restore, otherwise, it is not restoring data, but backing up data
The backup data will update and overwrite the data in the template package. It will be troublesome for you to match the template column by column.
Generally, the template developers will back up data for you, because the dream weaving template involves some ID matching, especially the homepage template, which ID will be matched for different columns
If the novice can't understand it, he will be confused. So we need to restore the data. Use the settings matched by the developer.

After restoring the data, do not directly generate static pages to update the website.
The dream weaving system has some small problems. After restoring the data, we need to enter the basic site settings and change the site information, such as the website name.
Of course, you can not change it for the time being. But we must confirm it. The purpose is to update the data cache. Otherwise, the website may be updated but the default template still exists.
Order [System] → [Basic System Parameters] → [OK] Whether you want to change the website name or not, please confirm it.

Then there is the cache update of the column data. Whether you change the column name or anything else, we need to confirm it.
Order [Core] → [Website Column Management] → [Update Sorting] No matter whether you change the column name or not, please click [Update Sorting]. The purpose is to update the cache.

Next, we need to click again to update the cache.
Select Generate → Update Cache, check Detect and Clear Error Documents, and then click Start Execution

Then the cache problem is updated. Next, you can safely generate the whole station.
Click Generate → One click Update Website → Check Update All → Click Start Update

In this way, the downloaded template installation is completed. (If you download the source code packaged in the whole site, you only need to upload the source code, install it, and follow the steps above to restore the data.)
Now you can make your own settings, such as changing the website name, column name, etc.
If you have any problems with the dream weaving program, you can also contact us to help solve them. Of course, they are charged.
