Hello erick-b

Did you tried to copy site template or administrator template ?
I can't do it, I have an error :

Template Install: Could not copy files from the files source.
and
Error installing template
Unable to install new template from temporary folder.

Which template did you try to install? Is it compatible with Joomla 4 development version?

Hello toivo
Sorry for using someone else's topic
I think I click by mistake to report your previous post, instead click on quote Please excuse me
I don't want to install a new template. Only make a copy of the actual template (Cassiopea and Atum) to override them

Hello erick-b
Thank you for your help which is welcome. Eventually, I am interested to test Helix Ultimate on Joomla 4, but it is not a priority
Actually I am not trying to install a new template. I was just wanted to copy the existing templates (Cassiopeia and Atum) to override them but each time I get a blank page after the copy seems to work
For new template I will wait Joomla 4 to be stable enough to use Helix Ultimate but I can test it if you help me to install it
Have a good day

Here is 'J4Template', cloned from Cassiopeia in Joomla 4 beta1-dev updated today. No svg logo, though.

I don't see anything special in logs, do you want to check ?
I can send it by MP
When I copy joomla4template toivo post sooner, it works with a warning :

When I try with Cassiopeia, I still have an error :
copy-cassiopeia.png

- try to copy cassiopeia folder
- into templateDetails.xml change the name <name>cassiopeia</name> for whatever you want <name>cassebonbons</name> :-)
- zip the folder
- delete the copied folder
- install the zip as a normal extension
if you still get an error on langage do the same but first remove
- remove the part with
<languages folder="language">
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_cassiopeia.ini</language>
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_cassiopeia.sys.ini</language>
</languages>
in templateDetails.xml

Merci Eric
OK I could copy Cassiopeia template after deleting
Code: Select all
<languages folder="language">
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_cassiopeia.ini</language>
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_cassiopeia.sys.ini</language>
</languages>
AND
But when I set the new template as default I get an error without any info
copy-template-error.png
and then I found the solution :
I create a language folder with the two ini files in Cassiopeia template and I could copy the template and it works well :
copy-of-cassiopeia-template.png-language-folder.png
copy-of-cassiopeia-template.png
Thank you again for all your help
