Upgraded to Joomla 1.7.
Upgraded to Gantry Framework 3.2.8
After upgrading the Gantry Framework, under Template Manager, the link URL for any RocketTheme template now follows this format:
index.php?tp=1&templateStyle=21
For any non-Gantry template, the link URL is like this example:
/administrator/index.php?option=com_templates&task=style.edit&id=4
The Template Manager worked properly after I upgraded to Joomla 1.7. The "bad" links appeared after the upgrade to Gantry Framework 3.2.8
If I click the checkbox and then "edit", I can access the parameters for the RT templates and edit them.
So, my question is, what controls the URL for the template edit links? It appears to be "stuck" on the preview url.

hi there,
the issue that you end up here: /index.php?tp=1&templateStyle=21 when clicking on the template name is related to a j1.7 setting. it is actually a bug i reported, a fix should be available soon.
when you go to > extensions > template manager > options (icon on top right) and disable the option 'Preview Module Positions' under 'Global Configuration for Templates' then this issue should not be present anymore.

Kat05:
I also recently installed Gantry, but in my case 3.2.19, and I am having the same problem.
"After upgrading the Gantry Framework, under Template Manager, the link URL for any
RocketTheme template now follows this format:
index.php?tp=1&templateStyle=21 ... For any non-Gantry template, the link URL is like this example: /administrator/index.php?option=com_templates&task=style.edit&id=4"
"The Template Manager worked properly after I upgraded to Joomla 1.7 [in my case 2.5.4]. The "bad" links appeared after the upgrade to Gantry Framework 3.2.8 [in my case 3.2.19, as I mentioned above]"
However, the remainder of the issue is a little different. The following statement is false in my case: "If I click the checkbox and then "edit", I can access the parameters for the RT templates and edit them." [No, this does not work in my case, and I get a 404 error. Or when I manually enter the URL for the Gantry templates Template Manager:Styles, I get 404 errors, ]
I also changed the setting you mentioned, and that did not resolve the problem in my case. I got 404 errors.
I do not have any bright ideas. Might it help if I install a Gantry 3.1.x?

- Thank you for reading my post above. I uninstalled Gantry and reinstalled 3.2.19. What I believe I installed earlier was a version of Gantry for Joomla 1.6 or 1.7. Reinstalling Gantry, the latest version, resolved my issue.

Hi Kat,
It's sounds like I am having a similar issue to this. I downloaded the gantry 2.5 bundle for my Joomla website and installed it via Extensions Manager. When making the gantry template my default template and clicking on that template to then go in to the editor mode the page fails to load. I followed your instructions and disabled the 'Preview Module Positions' option and now the page fails to load and displays a blank screen although I think the URL issue has been fixed as it shows the URL administrator/index.php?option=com_gantry&view=template&layout=edit&id=145 rather than the /index.php?tp=1&templateStyle=21 that I was previously seeing. Any suggestions of what could be causing the issue?
Thanks,
Richard

- Hi, can you turn on debugging in the Joomla site configuration and see if you are getting any error messages? If so, let us know what they are so we can try to determine the issue.

Hi Cliff,
Managed to fix this issue on Friday by changing the file permissions to 777 on the template.
Thanks,
Richard

- Hi Richard, it's good that it seems to be a permissions issue. However I would not recommend leaving your permissions set at 777 - it's like leaving a wide open door on your website that hackers can walk right through. Try setting all the permissions for folders at 755 and 644 for files. I might also recommend Admin Tools by Akeeba, it's free and it will set all of the correct permissions on your Joomla site with the click of a button. Using 777 is a huge security risk.
