Hi
Its says somewhere that you an just install the template so it looks like demo with settings.

I have dowloaded, used joomla back end
1. Template
2. 2 Plugins
3. quickstart

But it seems that I have to rebuild it all from scratch

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Vlad

Hi there,
# Quickstart is Joomla! install package with sample data included. Everything is included: template / plugin / sample
# Template … just template only.
than you’ll need plugin to use JA template.

Thank you,
Viet Vu

Im doing it through Filezilla and backend Joomla.
1. Download tempate – backend
2. Extract Quickstart and upload into template folder of Smashboard template (filezilla)
3. Upload plugins (backend).
Question: does quickstart go into the template fodler ?
Thanks
Vlad

Hi there,
# If you are going with quickstart. You don’t need Joomla! installed before. Just go with quickstart. It’s Joomla! install wizard included. In end of install steps you’ll be asked to install sample database or not. Just choose it.

# If you have Joomla! site exists than you can do:
– install plugin
– install template
DO NOTHING with quickstart

Thank you,
Viet Vu

I thnk I understand why. Perhaps, I should not have installed Joomla, rather estracted Quckstart and downloaded onto public html?

Lastly, in the process of copying it asked me this…. pic

I chose to override – I hope it was the correct one.

Hi there,
Do override quickstart into exists template is possible but not suggest 🙂
# If your Joomla! same with quickstart Joomla! . It’ll be okay. But if not … you maybe will have trouble.
# Do override will not give you any benefit. Because … quickstart is sample with Joomla! default, just adding sample database and included extensions. But do override will not apply database .

Thank you,
Viet Vu

Hi
Ive installed it all sucessfully.
One little problem, when I copied files I copied them with the root folder http://www.iandmworld.com/jatc_smashboard_j3x
Now the domain is with the folder name
How could I rectify it?
Thanks

Hi there, good morning
Actually i’m really confuse what’r you doing and what’r you expecting from these thing ? 🙂

In basic, i would suggest you delete everything and start with quickstart from clean.

Thank you,
Viet Vu
