Introducing RocketLauncher - The all-in-one Joomla!+template+demo installer
« on: June 04, 2007, 03:02:28 PM »

RocketTheme templates feature some amazing advanced features and layout possibilities that open up a wide world of options for your sites. Unfortunately, the default Joomla content in a new Joomla install is very limited and does little to take advantage of the abilities of a modern Joomla template. Each of our demo sites have been highly customized to show off the abilities of each template and give that "professional touch" to the look and feel of the content. This professional look could not be achieved without hands on manual customization, that is, until now.

With the new Elemental RocketLauncher Joomla installer package, you can instantly create a Joomla site complete with custom content that has been professionally tuned to look its best, all with just a few clicks. The RocketLauncher package consists of a full 1.0.12 Joomla install, complete with the Elemental template, as well as all of the demo images, content, modules, and extensions. By running this custom installer, an exact duplicate of the Elemental demo site will be created. Just install the RocketLauncher package as you would a standard Joomla install package and it will take care of the rest.

The RocketLauncher package release for the Elemental template and is available for download in the Elemental template downloads section.

NOTE: The RocketLauncher template package is ONLY for use on "new" Joomla installations as it installs a fresh copy of Joomla and will overwrite any existing Joomla install in the destination directory.

This is completely separate install. However, if you select the option to use the same database and tables, it will overwrite.

I'm trying to install it right now and got stuck at step 1 after I put in all info (Host name, MySQL user name and so on) clicked next and window "Opening install2.php" appeared. I opened in Macromedia Dreamweaver and it has empty page. What's next Huh

The Joomla! forums are perfectly equipped for these issues. Visit the installation section and you may find similar threads

Yes, but it's something new asking me at the step 1 when Joomla! installation will populate the database tables. If this step is successful your will be redirected to the second installation step and instead i'm getting:
"Opening install2.php
You have chosen to open
install2.php
which is a: PHP Script

Hello, Thanks for the reply. Actually, that was not my question.

The new template has joomla, which means that we can install Joomla with it and the demo will be installed along. I have a joomla site, which already has contents in its database. I was thinking if there is a way that I can install the demo content with the template, without deleting the contents on my site. Normally, when we install Joomla, it deletes the current database and fill in a new one.

Thanks

You will have to setup yourself.

You could get a SQL dump of the module settings etc... but unless you are used to database changes, I would not recommend it and it probably would not work Smiley
