Hi,
I'm asking myself, if AutoConvert is working okay.
I want to change a css-styled theme (andreas01) into Autotheme and
I want to change a Xanthia-version aof that theme into Autotheme.
Is that okay?
The version in your Downloadsection is beta2 and from 2003.

Thx - ginkgo -

AutoConvert works but only for legacy themes not for Xanthia. Xanthia should be easy to convert. My suggestion is this:

1. Make a copy of the Xanthia theme, maybe andreas02
2. Copy the theme.php and theme.cfg from the AutoPrint theme into the andreas02 theme
3. Open the Xanthia HTML files and add the correct AutoTheme tags, [modules], tags for blocks, block-title and content in the block file

- Make sure the new theme.cfg is writable

4. Go to the AutoTheme admin and configure the new theme, setting the templates to the Xanthia ones (i.e. master.htm, block.htm, etc.)
