I run Joomla 2.5.5.
In extras template manager I selected beez_20 and saved it under beez_20_4_hgv.
Implicitely the directory beez_20 has been copied to a new directory and a few reasonable adaptions were made.
So far no problem. However when I choose the newly saved template and make it the default template some unexpected things happen:
====
# see update below # The main menu previously in the left column now is found in the right column ====
# see another update below # The graphics for the buttons bigger/reset/smaller etc. are replaced by some text e.g. TPL_BEEZ2_BIGGER====
# see update below # The title bar graphic (We are volunteers) is no longer seen - only a background colour is shown What is wrong, what else has to be done?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Update 09.08.2012: Apparently the advanced options are not saved under the new name and are not part of the files copied.
By resetting option TPL_BEEZ2_OPTION_PERSONAL / Template Colour to personal the graphic (We are volunteers) comes back.
By resetting option TPL_BEEZ2_OPTION_BEFORE_CONTENT / Navigation position the menus return to the left column
Would be nice to know where the advanced options are stored.
Still unresolved: The texts TPL_BEEZ2_BIGGER, ... are not translated to Bigger. Such translation is found in ./language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_Beez_20_4_HGV.ini but is not done.
another update 09.08.2012:
I found a solution in post " Issues with creating new version of beez_20": I had to rename two files that were misnamed (capital letters!) by the original save under function:
hhlux2:/srv/www/htdocs/Joomla_hh/templates/beez_20_4_hgv/language/en-GB # mv en-GB.tpl_Beez_20_4_HGV.ini en-GB.tpl_beez_20_4_hgv.ini
hhlux2:/srv/www/htdocs/Joomla_hh/templates/beez_20_4_hgv/language/en-GB # mv en-GB.tpl_Beez_20_4_HGV.sys.ini en-GB.tpl_beez_20_4_hgv.sys.ini
hhlux2:/srv/www/htdocs/Joomla_hh/templates/beez_20_4_hgv/language/en-GB # ls
en-GB.tpl_beez_20_4_hgv.ini en-GB.tpl_beez_20_4_hgv.sys.ini index.html
============ my issue is solved ============
the function "Save under" for a template definitely is a little bit faulty/incomplete.
