WordPress Ecommerce with WordPress and WooCommerce Setting Up WooCommerce Installing a WooCommerce Theme

Is there a tutorial on TreeHose to help me setup WooCommerce with unsupported themes? I'm struggling with the hooks.

I'm using United Themes Brooklyn theme on my wordpress site, and I'd like to make a shopping section. I've installed WooCommerce, and it's working, but the styling is all wrong as the theme is unsupported.

I'm following the instructions from WooCommerce that will help me get the theme working with WooCommerce (http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/#section-2).

I'm trying to locate the wrappers that my theme requires, as suggested in the second step. Is there a tutorial which could help me with WooCommerce integration, or would somebody be able to explain what these wrappers are and do, so that I could try and identify them?

I'm very new to hooks and so if there is a tutorial I should watch to help explain what I'm trying to do, that would be helpful. I'm trying to learn, so any information as to why I need to do this, would be really interesting.

Thanks all, Sean

Thanks. Although these tutorials didn't cover the integration of WooCommerce with non-supported themes, they were very helpful.
