Joomla Templates

First of all, you have nice templates. Thanks! I have Blackbear and want to change to BB 3 column. I can't seem to get it play well. No template at all. It installs fine but then no template only plain html. Take a look here. http://www.lubbockcameraclub.com/index.php? tp=1&template=blackbear3column1.5 Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks for any reply,

Todd

Looks like this template needs some updates also.

Open up the index.php file and find this line

<link href="/templates/BlackBear3Column/css/ template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

and replace it with this line

<link href="/templates/blackbear3column1.5/css/ template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

that should fix it

That did the trick. I see the error now. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've seen a number of errors in the past where the template directory name is altered by the users web server when it is installed - an example would be that we zip up a shiny new template in a folder called BlackBear1.5 but when someone goes to install it their server creates a folder called blackbear15 - all lower case and with the period removed.

If you get plain white unstyled pages coming up check the directory name and then check the template index.php to make sure the path to the css is correct - i.e. that it has the same name as the directory that your template sits in on your server.

We'll be aiming to simplify our template nameing and I won't be putting a '.' into the name from now on :)
