    please read - when your template parameters dont show..

    Posted 14 years 6 months ago
    • hi all,

      we had a few members who had issues on their site when trying to open the template parameters.
      basically the whole right part of the parameters screen would not load, so it would look like this:
      This image is hidden for guests.
      Please log in or register to see it.


      if you have the same issue, please try the following to find out what exactly is causing this:

      1. in your joomla admin go to > site > global configuration > server..
      on the left set "error reporting" to "maximum".
      This image is hidden for guests.
      Please log in or register to see it.


      2. now go back to check on your template parameters:
      > extensions > template manager > rt_gantry_j15 (or whatever your gantry template is)
      and check near the bottom of the screen if you see any errors.

      so far we have found 2 different error messages:

      a) Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in ../libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 146

      and

      b) Fatal error: Class '   ' not found in ../libraries/joomla/language/language.php on line 171

      the solutions:
      for a) try to update your php version. some versions such as 5.0.5 will cause this problem.

      for b) check ALL of your menu item titles (in all menus, even if they are not published, or set to access level: registered etc).

      the gantry template parameters load all menu items for the per-menu-item configuration and it seems that certain unusual characters in menu titles such as :: are causing an issue.

      please go through your menu items and rename them where needed.
      do not use any :: or similar. normal foreign characters such as èüéöàä etc will NOT cause a problem.

      once you have corrected the menu item titles (and probably aliases) then the gantry template parameters should start to load correctly for all the different gantry templates on your site.
      This image is hidden for guests.
      Please log in or register to see it.


      if you get any other error messages than those listed above, please let us know.

      hope this helps, kat :)

    • If you getting a similar error to

      Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\xampp\htdocs\tester\components\com_gantry\admin\elements\versioncheck.php on line 106

      it seems the problem is that curl was not enabled by default in Xampp.

      got to:
      C:\xampp\php\php.ini
      open file in favourite directory

      search for

      ;extension=php_curl.dll

      remove semicolon

      extension=php_curl.dll
      save
      restart xampp and it should work

      Hi Kat,

      I am having the same problem, just upgraded Gantry to v3.0.10 using the Panacea template.
      Followed the above and got this message:

      •Parameters• •The parameter file /templates/rt_panacea_j15/params.ini is unwritable!•
      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6589629 bytes) in ../components/com_gantry/admin/elements/text.php on line 30

      Not sure what to do.
      Thanks for any suggestions!

    • Me again.... in looking at the params.ini file, it seems that the © that I inserted as the copyright using the Mac keyboard shortcut (option+g) has spawned itself in a massive way... this fills more than a page: �

      When I first saw it in the footer, I turned the copyright off in Gantry and created a custom mod and assigned it the copyright position.

      However, ../components/com_gantry/admin/elements/text.php on line 30 is articlestyle=box1

      I don't know if this is a clue or not. I do not know PHP.

      I hesitate to do anything. :cry: Will wait til morning....
      Thanks for any help! :-)

    • Me again.... :-)

      I had my server tech guy on Skype.... he upped my memory and I have Gantry back. I deleted the copyright © (option+g) and the params.ini file looks good now.

      FYI, I changed it to © on my other Panacea template.

      This is obviously not a solution for anyone else, but maybe it will provide some clues?

      Merci!

    • hi again,

      yes, it is recommended to use html entities, such as © instead of © and similar.
