Hi,
I am trying to change parameters of my Template in the backend, but it doesn t work.
thats what I get in the backend: The parameter file /templates/rt_refraction_j15/params.ini is unwritable!
Even if I change the file in my ftp client to be writable, it will show up writable, but as soon as I click on save or apply I get the following text again: The parameter file /templates/rt_refraction_j15/params.ini is unwritable!
So how can I change Link Color, Body Text Color and so on...
Can somebody help me??

- You can always edit the params.ini manually and then upload it to your server. The unwritable bug has been there since Joomla 1.5 got released and there's nothing we can do about it. I think it depends on the server config if the bug appears or not.

A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

Okay
I checked it again, and my file params.ini is writable, even though I get the message: The parameter file /templates/rt_refraction_j15/params.ini is unwritable!
All changes I made have been written into the file.So I dont have to change it manually.
But the problem I have is how can I activate my params.ini to be default. The changes will not show up in my Template.

I have the same problem. No effect after saving parameters.

hi there,
if you change the the params.ini make sure to clear your cache and refresh or even restart your browser. sometimes the changes dont show up right away.
hope this helps, kat

Thank you Kat.
When I select one theme in the demo "Features -> Preset style" the change is okay.
When I change the theme in Administrator mode "Edit template ...", there is no effect.
I make "chown a+rw params.ini" before (the file is well updated) and try to clear the cache after but the list of items is empty in "Tools -> Clear cache". It is not possible to clear the cache.

sorry for the confusion, what i meant was to clear the cache of your browser.
in firefox > tools > clear recent history...
in internet explorer > extras > internet options > history...

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')) {
