Hi
I'm doing a website for a client, and they are a Bank. There hosting is run my a company that really locks down permissions on server. Because all they do is host Banks.
Problem is when trying to access the template configuration in the backend I get this error.
500 - An error has occurred.
Unable to use given directory. Check file permissions.
The host wont open up permissions. So I'm wondering how would I change the preset styles from the FTP. In other words what files would I edit to change the preset colors.
I am using Joomla 1.7 and the latest version of gantry and the Camber template.
Thanks. - Last Edit: 13 years 6 months ago by kipw24.

- Hi, you can try editing gantry.config.php - all of the preset styles are listed there. Not sure how much control that will offer you, it's definitely not an ideal situation.
- The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I tried changing the values on that file, but It didn't change the template on the front end.
In Joomla version 1.5 of gantry there is a params.ini in the root of the template that you could use to change the colors and such but it's not there in 1.7 version of the template.
Any other thoughts?

- Hi, I found out that in 1.7 all of the template settings are stored in the database in a table called jos_template_styles - that's your only option for this. Hope that helps.
