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

[erick-b]

I can install my own template on j4 :-)
do you need any help ?

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

If I copy cassiopeia it works perfectly , I have no errors
did you install the very last version > https://developer.joomla.org/nightly-builds.html

you can update with Joomla_4.0.0-beta1-dev-Development-Update_Package.zip

Yes I use the very last version from that link

I will make a new install to try again and I will let you know if I succeed ... or not

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

I install a new Joomla 4 beta 1 but the copy of template is still not working, I think it comes from the server

I give up, it is not importnant now, I will see later

Your template works when I install extension

I will use this template to test overrides

Thank you again

[erick-b]

it could be a problem of rights on tmp folder
can you check if they are 775 ?

[bruno28]

tmp folder 755

I set it 775 : same error

Don't spend your time on this !

Thank you anyway

[erick-b]

can you check your logs to find the error ?

[toivo]

@erick-b, for the benefit of others who may be reading this topic, let's keep using English, please!

[bruno28]

can you check your logs to find the error ?

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

[erick-b]

- 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

[bruno28]

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

Code: Select all

		<folder>language</folder>

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 :

Thank you again for all your help
