Where to put your files

Don’t know where to put Fusion Core, your Fusion theme, Fusion Accelerator or the Skinr module?

All downloaded themes and modules, including Fusion and Fusion Accelerator, go into directories inside the /sites directory of your Drupal installation.

Specifically: If you’re hosting only one site through your Drupal installation (this is typical):

  • Put themes in /sites/all/themes
  • Put modules in /sites/all/modules

You’ll need to create the “themes” and “modules” directories if they don’t exist already.

If you’re hosting several sites through your Drupal installation (“multisite hosting”), you can still put themes and modules in those locations: They’ll then be available to all sites. But if you want to make them available only to one site, put them in that site’s directory.

For example, to install the Fusion Accelerator module only on the site www.example.com in a multisite Drupal installation, put it in /sites/www.example.com/modules.
