Hi,

I want to be able to install the standard version, “Full right version”, and the “3 Columns Version” for evaluation purposes.

I get the error in Joomla when trying to install the templates “There is already a file called /home/acumem2/public_html/newtmp/templates/ja_zibal/css/index.html – Are you trying to install the same CMT twice?“

How do I modify the templates so that I can have them all installed at the same time?

Best regards,

Christer

To install other version of the template, open template xml file templateDetails.xml, change the template name <name>ja_zibal_sf</name>.

Thanks for the quick response!

However, despite following you instructions, I am still getting an error when trying to install –

“File /home/acumem2/public_html/newtmp/media/install_454316bbc8354/ja_zibal(3_columns_version)/css/index.html does not exist!“

If you still get error when install multiple instances of JA template, please use XMLGenerator to re-generate template xml file, then re-package and install it.

You’ve also got to edit the index.php file in the template folder. So the second ja_zibal you’re trying to install, edit index.php, and rename the following lines:

$ja_template_name = ‘ja_zibal‘;

# Define the template path ##########
$ja_template_path = $mosConfig_live_site.’/templates/ja_zibal‘;
$ja_template_absolute_path = $mosConfig_absolute_path.’/templates/ja_zibal‘;

To whatever you renamed the template (ja_zibal_sf I’m assuming). This is of course in addition to the XML edits.

Sorry — I still get an error “File /home/acumem2/public_html/newtmp/media/install_454513d80c377/ja_zibal(2_columns_full_right_version)CB/css/index.html does not exist!“

I have:

1. Updated templateDetails.xml

<name>ja_zibal_2c_fr</name> .

2. Updated index.php

$ja_template_name = ‘ja_zibal_2c_fr’;

# Define the template path ##########
$ja_template_path = $mosConfig_live_site.’/templates/ja_zibal_2c_fr’;
$ja_template_absolute_path = $mosConfig_absolute_path.’/templates/ja_zibal_2c_fr’;

3. Re-generated templateDetails.xml with xmlgenerator and re-packaged.

Hi CB,

if you are still having trouble see my post on installing multiple versions of the template. It is the same technique. I did use it to install the 2 column version as well as the 3 col version.

good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve.

I followed your tips and updated ja_transmenu.php and ja_cssmenu.php in addition to the steps that I numbered in my previous post,

Still I get the same error message — File /home/acumem2/public_html/newtmp/media/install_45476d34e7f14/JA_Zibal_2c_fr/css/index.html does not exist!

Note that I am trying to install the template from the Joomla interface (Installers/Templates – Site).

Any other ideas?

Best regards,

CB

Please extract the template and upload to folder [joomlaroot]/templates. Joomla will recognize your new template and install it automatically.
