Can't install a template that is .tgz
Posted 15 years 8 months ago
Hi,
I've installed templates in the past. But they were all zips.
Now I'm trying to install a Rocket Theme template that is a .tgz file and it won't work.
It takes a minute, looking like it's uploading. Then it stops and loads a blank page (/administrator/index.php)
Any ideas what could be the problem? Is there any way of downloading the themes files in a zip instead of tgz?
Cheers.

Try downloading the .tgz to your computer, unpack it and then zip it up and try again

Has that been done before?
I'll give it a try now.

Hmmm there is no unpack/unzip option for the file...?

It could be "Extract archive" or something similar. Use WinRAR or 7Zip if you are on Windows.

7zip will work...
Also, if you are using Chrome, try a different browser.
Thanks,

Realised I didn't have winzip installed anymore since I done a reformat...
Installed it. Extracted the theme from .tgz
Zipped it back up using winzip
And still joomla won't upload it
Can you upload themes using FTP?

You can upload the theme via FTP to the template folder.
It should be recognized when you go to the Template Manager.
Thanks,
jim

Yes, just drag 'n drop the rt_template_j15 folder to the /templates/ directory.

Ok cheers lads I'll give that a go.
Any reason why .tgz never works for me? It's joomla 1.5 and I tried in Firefox and IE.
