- Could someone tell me why some off the newest templates like Dominion and Zephyr turns from recordable too read-only after a while in use.

I don't know exactly what files or features you're talking about, but I'm guessing it has to do with the Joomla Backend editing of the css and other files.
For the system to allow for editing of files through the Joomla Backend, the permissions are re-written. If you use a text editor and FTP the files instead of using the Backend, you shouldn't experience this issue.

Thanks too Ben for answer.
It is about the Gantry framework where i want too make changes in the template through Joomla Backend as told. I cant see how i can edit this from a text editor without beeing a spesialist.
It's maybe something with the config.
If you have some more tips i am greatful

Are you seeing files that are not writable in the "Diagnostic Check" in the Template Manager for a Gantry template?
If you set the file permissions, Gantry won't reset them back and make them unwritable again. Can you tell me more specifically where you're seeing the issue and what files or directories?

This is the message i got in the "Diagnostic Check" in the Template Manager for Gantry template: Parameterfile /templates/rt_zephyr_j15/params.ini is (skrivebeskyttet!)( read-only).
When i try too make changes in the Template Manager i got this message: Operation failure!: could not open file /home/skedsivb/public_html/templates/rt_zephyr_j15/params.ini for recording.(editing)
I would like too know if this has something too do wih the file permissions and how i can set this in a correct way.

Here is a solution posted by Kat that might help out:
Kat05 wrote:hi again,
this is a known joomla bug which seems to appear on certain servers only.
very often the changes actually do get saved, even if the params.ini says it is unwritable.
worth to give this a try.
if it does not work, you may try to enable your ftp layer in the joomla global configuration.
if this doesn't help as well, then you can try to add some changes to ../administrator/components/com_templates/controller.php
find below codes:and change to:// Try to make the params file unwriteable if (!$ftp['enabled'] && JPath::isOwner($file) && !JPath::setPermissions($file, '0555')) {kat// Try to make the params file unwriteable if (!$ftp['enabled'] && JPath::isOwner($file) && !JPath::setPermissions($file, '0755')) {

I have tried all 3 options without succes, so i maybe have too use an older template made before Gantry but that is not the best solution. Another thing with Gantry is that i feel it works to slow.
I think the solution have something too do with the server because i have tried Templates with Gantry by using xampp on my own computer. It works slow, but it works.
I have too try a litle more before i change template.

This could be your hosting configuration that is causing you issues. There are bad hosts out there that routinely have problems.
Gantry is slow at the moment and that is being worked on. It's slow for a reason and that has to do with how everything needs to be loaded in order to have all the controls there and to run the powerful functions that it has.
And remember, the params.ini file might say unwritable but the settings will still be saved.

After having some problems with IE8 browser (works slow and not response), i change too Opera browser. This makes the templates writeable again and Gantry works much faster with Opera.
I have also uninstall and install the templates again before i change browser.
So after this, i hope problems with templates are history.

Just for the record, JS and IE really sucks
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it
