Hi Guys
Having a few problems with an infected hosts file which I'm trying to get help on a different forum, so I cannot use localhost - have to use 127.0.0.1:8000 - so not sure if this affects this problem...
I have installed 2-3 templates and each time Joomla says for example, the parameter file templates\rt_meridian_j15\params.ini is writeable, I then go and change bodystyle or colour and ity becomes unwriteable..... so any changes do not actually seem to work...
why??
thanks
george

The unwriteable message is 'normal', it happens in Joomla all the time.
You can change the permissions of the file through your host's CP, or with your FTP client.
Make sure you clear your browser cached after making changes. - Thanks,

thanks - you are quite correct - I forget to flush the cache - which is why the changes do not take effect.
The changes are made correctly on the template.

I'll ask the question again because I am not convinced....
I am working on a Linux server setup with a joomla 1.5 and just installed Akira template.
It clearly says The parameter file /templates/rt_akiraka_j15/params.ini is unwritable!
So I go and change style to 2, Save
Then go back to edit the template and its back to 1.
Clearly it isnt writing the changes.
So the question is if it says that then IS it telling you that the ini file or folder permissions should be changed?????
thanks
george

- I have no idea why but my folder and file permissions are all over the place, I chmodd the ini file to 777 and now ok.

Template params.ini file becoming unwriteable when you save a change has been a long standing problem for me, and not one fixed by reinstalls. The normal fix has been to chmod the params.ini file to make it writeable by user - e.g. 644, 755.
This Joomla forums post forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1209369
has a fix that seems to be working for me, so I thought I would share it.
Basically, you change the Joomla administrator\components\com_template\controller.php file and replace the three occurrences where permissions are set to 555 to be 755.
Not sure if this creates any security issues, and there doesn't seem to be any responses from the Joomla developers on this issue. So use it at your own risk.
