Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
Can someone please help with this solution of know of a fix.
Thank you
Ambila

Re: IE8 Compatibility
What was the free template? Is/was it Joomla 1.6 native compatible?
IE8 is a nasty brat that should be put into an orphanage then euthanized! Why Microsoft keeps unleasing such monsters on the world - like IE9beta.
Microsoft content tends to carry with it alot of hidden code that goes visible at the wrong times, which is why JCE Editor has a [W] option for inputting MSWord text. Hope JCE goes Joomla 1.6 native quickly.
Tell us more about the template w/o the XML setup file please.

Re: IE8 Compatibility
Hi
Thanks for your response back. I'm not too technical with web design. Had to learn to do just my own website. The template is called 1_time. I downloaded from a website that i don't remember.
You can have a look at the website www.amomentevents.co.uk to get an idea of what it looks like.
The programmer did create css file for ie7 & ie6. What else do you need to know about the template?
thanks

Re: IE8 Compatibility
Does the footer on the template say it is a 1.5 template?
There seems to be alot of line-by-line coding if you look at the css.
I don't think this is a 1.6 compatible template per se.

Re: IE8 Compatibility
Actually, this looks like an Artisteer generated template that has had the "art-" prefixes removed from the CSS tags in the template.

Re: IE8 Compatibility
Hi
the template is a joomla 1.5/ I downloaded from this link.
http://www.joomlaxtreme.com/free-joomla ... earch.html
search term is clock - only one template is displayed.
I assumed that because the coding has a css file for 1e6 & 1e7, that that was what os making it compatible.
warm regards

Re: IE8 Compatibility
The IE6 and IE7 files are for backward compatibility. You may need one for IE8, depending, but the template is written for Joomla 1.5 and not 1.6 as I suspected.
Ask the folks at JoomlaXtreme for support for their template for use for 1.6 compatibility.

Re: IE8 Compatibility - Still not working
Still hasn't worked. I had no luck with posting on the Joomla Xtreme forum.
Can anyone else help?
