Hello,
does anyone know how to install a new Rockettheme template with the rocket launcher without loosing data such as articles from an existing Joomla installation?
What are the disadvantages when i only import a new template without rocket launcher in my existing joomla website?
Thank you very much.
Greetings Gerry

1 - Rocket Launcher is for a new complete Joomla install with or with out sample data.
2 - If you have a Joomla install already - just download the template, not the Rocket Launcher, then install the new template into your Joomla install.
The advantage of installing a new template on an already existing site is you get a new template.
The advantage of using Rocket Launcher for a fresh, brand new install of Joomla is you have a lot of sample data to get you going. Of course the disadvantage is you have a lot of sample data to get rid of too.
So, remember -

3 - You can always backup your site + SQL with Joomlapack and then use the RocketLauncher. When installation is complete then you just import your old stuff.
I think most people just installs the template and then add the exensions manually. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it
