Template Install Error
« on: September 08, 2006, 11:51:26 AM »

hi all at rockettheme

i had versatility template installed. all worked fine. then wanted to change the logo to finalize the site. tried it via ftp, didn't work. did a search on the forum. found this article:

http://www.rockettheme.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=149&topic=753.0

i copied the logo to the .zip file, went in the acp, chose installers site template and became this error:

upload template - Upload Failed
ERROR: Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

pload template - Failed
Installation file not found:
/home/www/web480/html/online/media/install_4501bab43b00a/

so i extracted the template .zip, uploaded it by ftp, but couldn't see the template in the acp.

so i downloade another rockettheme template, versatility II lime, tried the installer (no changes to the .zip) and gained the same error.

when i try to install a template, the joomla says:
media/   Writeable
administrator/templates/   Writeable
templates/   Writeable
images/stories/   Writeable

what i'm doing wrong?  please help.

thanks,
marcel

try the .tgz file rather than the .zip file.

Hi
I'm getting the same errors when uploading the .zip template, so I had a look for the .tgz file but the only file download button available is for a zip file.

Where may I get this other file format for uploading now?

Thanks for your help....

Hi Andy
Thanks for getting back so soon.

I tried to upload the smf version of fire, using the zip file, by using the install site template in joomla administrator and I  got the same error msgs as described in the earlier posts above. I get the feeling there's more to it than that though. Do I need to install some SMF files first, I notice that the template install instructions refer to an SMF administrator. I thought this template included the bridge as well.

Thanks again...

the smf .zip version is for smf only.  You need to download the Joomla .tgz version from here:
