Re: Deleting Template

Post by pjki » Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:21 am

I'm getting the same error message. Looked through the post, but nothing helps. These are siteground templates. I've never had a problem with Siteground before. I have 4 of them. I'm trying to delete 2 of them of which are NOT the default template.
I'm going to Extensions > Template Manager > Styles Tab (that may be the problem) > Check the appropriate template box > hit delete and I get the message: Cannot delete last style of a template.

When I go to the Template tab, it shows the pictures of the templates, but I don't see anywhere to actually delete them from the Template tab I would think that would be the appropriate place, not the Styles Tab.

Very simple answer. I posted in another thread before I found this one and someone helped me. None of the other mumbo-jumbo of going to the database, going to the host, changing the templateDetails.xml, etc etc. I started reading all that and wondered why deleting a template was made so complicated in 1.6 and 1.7 when on 1.5 you just go to the template manager and delete the thing LOL

So, it's just a simple delete! -- in the right place! Not under "template management," -- as I would have expected it would be, but "extension management". Check out the thread here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 7#p2588377

Hope this helps someone too!

Thanks! What a relief and I agree it was much simpler deleting in 1.6 or maybe I'm just going through growing pains. Thanks for the post, I always find it faster to learn here than reading the instructions, bad habit!
