[Xerte] Re: XOT "Upload a new Template" button not working

[Tom Reijnders]

It is not trivial to create a correct zip file form an existing XOT 
installation:

1. Create a folder  to hold the template
2. copy the files from modules\xerte\template\<templatename>  to that folder
3. copy the files from modules\xerte\parent_template\<templatename>  to 
that folder
4. rename data.xwd and data.xml to template.xwd and template.xml
5. zip the folder created in 1.
