If you read the section that shows the adding templates it is in a nice bullet format for easy directions while you complete the process.
If you are distributing an indicator package, you may also want to distribute a prebuilt Chart Template that your customers can use to quickly bring up preferred settings for your chart setup.
1. Locate your base .zip distribution package
2. Open the .zip
3. Create a new directory called "templates" without the quotes
4. Navigate into the "templates" directory and create another new directory called "Chart"
5. Navigate into the "Chart" directory. Copy the .xml chart templates you wish to distribute from My Documents\NinjaTrader 7\templates\Chart to this directory in the .zip
This is all that is required to allow the user to only import one file that contains both the indicator/strategy and the template that goes with the zip. this is a simple process the creator would perform that will prevent ongoing forum posts related to users that download the file not being able to use the file.
One note on the renaming files, this process will only work if the user has the Hide known file extensions turned off, otherwise the user will rename the file but in reality they did not change the actual file extension.
I look forward to being of further assistance.
