SportsGear

Last Updated: Jul 03, 2018

NOTE: We’ve developed a native UB SportsGear theme for Magento 2. Check out the userguide for UB SportsGear here.

So you are about to install our responsive Magento theme SportsGear -- the professional makeover of any eCommerce sports stores about fitness equipment and sporty clothing. The theme is packed up with up to 7 complementary Magento extensions including Mega Menu, Basetheme, Masshead, Product List, Product Slider, Slideshow and QuickView. SportsGear is fully responsive and supports Off-canvas menu for collapsed screen devices.

There are two ways to install a UberTheme Magento theme like SportsGear:

General Installation: Applicable if you have installed a Magento base on your server before.
Quickstart Installation: Applicable if you want to get a whole new site as per Demo.

Decide which way to follow. Once downloaded, unzip the package of SportsGear to get the following folders:

mage_ext: contains all built-in extensions of the theme.
mage_tpl: contains the theme files only.
quickstart: a full Magento CMS version with SportsGear already integrated to match the demo.
source: contains all source files of the theme.

Let’s see how to install and configure the responsive Magento theme SportsGear for your own website.

Provided that you have installed the Magento base already, General Installation will help you adapt SportsGear and its extensions with your current site.

Note: Your store must be ready before the installation. If not, get it done quickly by following the Magento Installation Guide.

Extension basetheme is required to be installed before installing the other extensions and theme.

1. Theme Installation

Quickstart package is to minimize time and effort in installing the theme as per Demo site. Please kindly note that, with Quickstart, all your existing data will be overwritten.

2. Create a database for your Magento store (using phpMyAdmin).

3. To install, open a browser and navigate to your URL (where the Quickstart package uploaded) to load the default Magento installer.

4. Kindly follow each step of the Installer so that the installation process can be set.

Note:

Do not use “localhost” in URL, otherwise you could not log into your Admin area (you should use your local IP in case of installing on your computer).
