(1)We have used the template rhuk_milkyway and we rewrite some files (ex:templateDetails.xml) because we haved mistakes when we install ou uninstall this template. (2)The template ats-solidarity have a new parameter.You can choose the type of your logo.(.png or .gif) (3)This template is OK with Opera,I.E.,Firefox.
No I'm sorry you can download the ats-solidarity.zip and use it on your local machine.

Not very different from milkyway. You forgot the language files.

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
code in beez templateDetails.xml We implemented just before RC2.
Quote:
en-GB.tpl_beez.ini
en-GB.tpl_beez.ini
first is for a site language in root/languages/enGB/ second is for admin in administrator/languages/en-GB/

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
It'no easy
(1)I create 2 folders and 2 files in my template ( copy of en-GB.tpl_rhuk_milkyway.ini ) ats_solidarity/languages/fronted/en-GB.tpl_ats-solidarity.ini ats_solidarity/languages/bachend/en-GB.tpl_ats-solidarity.ini
(3) after zip when I want to unstall the template I have a mistake "JInstaller::install: Le fichier 'C:\wamp\www\010_Joomla_1_5_RC2_Fr\tmp\install_46e4558b487ac\ats_solidarity\admin\languages\backend\en-GB.tpl_ats-solidarity.ini' n'existe pas "
I'll have to give it a try when I'm free. I have nearly finished mine so soon I'll also be posting, just need to finish converting my site to other colours and also create a language file.

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
Correction: The site ini file have to be placed at the same level as templateDetails.xml in your package when you compress it... The admin ini file should be placed in a folder called "admin" at the same level as templateDetails.xml The ini files will be moved to the right folder at time of install. You do not need the site part for milkyway as there are no strings in index.php In beez, the strings are present. Ex:

You are right. Entering an existing slightly modified template as the one posted here by tourisme-solidaire is useless in this contest.

Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2 version 1.0.1
Hello, I started to integrate two languages in the template.(English & French) so you can find news files.ini
en-GB.tpl_ats-solidarity.ini
fr-FR.tpl_ats-solidarity.ini
Install and Uninstall are OK But I dont' understand...When I connect myself in French descriptions remain in English
I hope that my questions will help the community and particularly the new ones (with the assistance of old )
You can download the template ( version = 1.0.1 ) at :
Hmm... Il vous faut choisir entre ats-solidarity et ats_solidarity... Le dossier du template s'appelle ats_solidarity ainsi que le nom dans TemplateDetails.xml, tandis que vos fichiers ini s'appellent ats-solidarity. (J'ai mis un temps fou à trouver le truc) Sorry, was in French.. Be carefull to use for ini files the same name as the one used for the template folder as well as the "name" in the templateDetails.xml

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
Not too sure how to get this language stuff sorted. I have en-GB.tpl_template_name.ini in my template root. However, comparing with the one for milkyway, confusion sets in with the references. What exactly are you suppose to pick up in the .ini file?

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
I'd like to know this too; if you only have English language, is it even required? Seems a little pointless just having an empty .ini (like in MilkyWay).

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
If one's template does not need front-end language, no use indeed to provide an ini. Admin language file is always necessary as Name and Description fields are translatable, even if no params. Milkyway only needs the admin language file as of now. (TemplateDetails.xml for milkyway is not updated to show the admin ini file) Beez only the frontend language file as of now. (Used to need an admin too, not updated)
It is NEVER English only... Users from any country in the world may choose to translate the ini files to their language, which is real easy in 1.5. Don't you want to achieve this?

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
Yes of course...I wasn't implying that other languages are not important, merely that it struck me as an unnecessary requirement if you are including a language file if there are no other translations apart from English.
So...I *need* to have a admin ini file (even if it is blank - apart from the header info), but the front-end ini can be omitted from the package and the templatedetails.xml...is that correct?
Is there some documentation available for this? I tried looking but didn't find anything useful.
Thanks for the help...

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
Is there a way to distinguish between the admin and frontend language files or do you incorporate them as one, single .ini file. I only ask as Milkyway has 2 different language files, an "empty" /languages one but a full "/administrator/languages" version.
As for what you need to put in, I noticed in Milkyway "COLOR VARIATION = Color Variation" which is easy enough. But what is it actually loading for, the label="" and/or description="" in the templateDetails.xml file.
All I want to know really is what parts of the .xml need to have translation
Cheers for your response

I have my language file setup as one, was easier that way. I got everything working right, but it did take me a while.

Hmmm... the admin ini file shall always exist and contain at least 2 strings, as I stated above. Look at templateDetails.xml for milkyway
These strings (bold and red above) can be found in root/administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_rhuk_milkyway.ini (among other strings used for parameters) RHUK_MILKYWAY=RHUK Milkyway template TPL_RHUK_MILKYWAY=MilkyWay is a fresh new template for Joomla! The clean design of this template makes it very lightweight and fast.

An easy way to figure it is to set in configuration the debug language to Yes in the System tab. if •text•, it is a string and it is present in the ini file. if ??text??, it is a string and it is absent from the ini file
Language debugging also shows in details at bottom of page the untranslated strings. Basically, in milkyway, apart from the name and description as shown above, you also get (Bold by me) label="Color Variation" description="Color variation to use">
and this for every parameter starting with the tag

Do you mean you have strings in the template itself (front-end) and as parameters/name/description when editing the template in admin and that these strings are all present in only ONE file? Curious to see how you managed that...

Put debugging on as explained above and you will see it does not work this way.
Another way for you to test is to install another language and change the strings to whatever in your template ini file. What it will load in back-end are the strings AS THEY ARE in your template.xml if you saved the ini as site language ini, and, in frontend the strings AS THEY ARE in your index.php if you saved the ini in your administrator language folder.

Re: Template ats-solidarity Joomla 1.5 RC2
I've had debug on. It was working fine, though I haven't testing another language with the English one but I'll slit them up if your meant too.
Thank you very much, this was extremely helpful in getting my head around this
