Help with non-default theme

[SirDriftAlot]

Hey guys/gals,
This mod rules supreme! I just need a little help editing my index.template.php file to run with my desired theme (Black Racer). I was reading about the directory edits but seem to have stumped myself....I am kind of a noob, but I know my way around php a "bit" <--keyword lol. If I could get a quick walkthru the editing process I'd be soo grateful! (I'm not running any other mods, just the garage and the new theme.)

Any help greatly appreciated! 

Thx guys!
Connor

Check this site out, PackageParser. What you do is upload the package, it strips out the modification.xml and reads it. You can even have the option just to show you the theme relevant stuff. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much cfultz! This looks promising.. one snag along my way.

I couldn't find the following '4' lines of code while editing my new themes index.template.php file.

[UPDATE/EDIT]

I guess I'm more of a noob than I thought.. I managed to download a 2.0 RC2 theme, which obviously won't work with 1.1.11 (My current version). I downloaded the proper files, made the edits and got it working.

Thx again cfultz! The Parser made it much easier for a beginner such as my self to find/edit the correct script.

----------------

'1'
Can't Find:

Code:

, 'viewmembers'

$current_action = 'search';

(Add after:)

    if(!$smfgSettings['disable_garage'] || allowedTo(array('manage_garage_settings', 'manage_garage'))) {
    echo ($current_action=='garage' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
                <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'garage' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
                    <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=garage">' , $txt['smfg_garage'] , '</a>
