Hi there,
I have been using the BlackBear 2 column theme since before Joomla 1.5 came out. I had wanted to change to a 3 column setup but never had the courage to try to "upgrade" to Joomla 1.5. Today I discovered that there is a 3 column BlackBear theme for Joomla 1.0. Yay!! I only found it because I saw mention of it in the forum.

Anyway, I tried to upload and install it but I get a failure message because the name is the same ie. I already have BlackBear installed. Problem is I don't want to uninstall the 2 column version until I've tested the 3 column one as I'm sure I made a small change or two but being a ditz I didn't record that for my old brain to remember so much further down the track.

Is there a way to rename and upload the 3 column version or something? I'm not game to try anything because my site is not broken and I don't want to mess it up

Thanks for any help.

I still haven't found a solution to this. Anybody? Please?

Hey if you're still having trouble email me the template @ alexis at joomlabear dot com. I didn't zip up the folder so not sure how big bear named them? I'll have to ask him. There are 2 things you have to change for the name of the template to change. The zip name, the xml contents.

I'll be happy to rename these for you.

Thankyou sooooooooo much
