Gantry Templates with Template Selector on J!2.5.3

  • Gantry Templates with Template Selector on J!2.5.3

    Posted 13 years 1 month ago
    • We are in the process of setting up another template demo (we use our own distro to show a simplified layout of RT themes, and link to the RT demo for the full featured view for our clients) for Joomla 2.5.

      We have one for Joomla 1.5 using the extension "Template Chooser" to switch between templates, but as this extension is unavailable for 2.5, we're using " Template Selector "

      This is working fine for switching between all templates except for templates using Gantry.
      Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/templates_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 358

      It's OK switching between the default J!2.5 templates, Joomlashack templates, and RocketTheme templates that don't use Gantry.

      Any ideas on what we can do to make Gantry templates work as well?

      And/or alternative template switching options?

      Edit: dev.ruttentech.com/software-testing/joomla_v25 <-- With a few templates installed. Default. RT non-Gantry. RT Gantry.

    • Typical. I am looking for a similar solution and here is this thread--8 weeks old--and ZERO RT help! I have wasted so (insert gerund form of word describing two people in an intimate act here) much time on RT. ByeBye RT

    • RT's not the problem if you can't find solutions to mixing & matching elements from different sources. I have solved so many issues and learned so much from the info & help in this forum over the years.
      Bye,bye.

    • 1. of course our templates have different module positions including a different handling of menus.
      2. if you get a white screen of death check your php-error-logs. Most of the time you have a
      memory_limit = 8M. Increase that to 64M or even higher.
      3. We can't guarantee that our templates work with every 3rd-party component or module out there.

    • Hi Henning,

      Thanks for your inisight! We have our memory_limit set to 128M on this server. Do you have any other suggestions on what might make things work?

      We can use alternative methods to showcase templates to our clients, though this is our preferred method if we can get it working. It seems like the Template Selector calls the new template in a way where Gantry templates respond differently to older RT templates / templates from other developers.

      Essentially I'm looking to see whether it's something simple so that I can look at modifying Template Selector to handle the difference and / or throw the entire thing out the window if it's not worth the time / effort. :)

      With error reporting set to Maximum it shows:
      Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in /home/software-testing/joomla_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 327 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in /home/software-testing/joomla_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 357 Notice: Undefined index: in /home/software-testing/joomla_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 520 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/software-testing/joomla_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 358 Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/software-testing/joomla_v25/libraries/gantry/core/gantrytemplate.class.php on line 358

      Cheers,

      Joyce

    • I am getting the exact same error as reported by RuttenTech.

      Any alternative ideas would be welcomed.

    • For what it's worth, I made another post too about this problem (before I saw this thread):
      www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=48...67676&rb_v=viewtopic

      Strangely, the same combo Gantry/Templateselector works without a hitch on my local server, so I'm suspecting either a php.ini or a httpd.conf issue here. My hosting provider won't let me change the php.ini settings so a solution to this problem would be great.
