Getting a template to work in 2.8

(1/2) > >>

PJW:
Hi,

I did a test installation of WB 2.7 on a completely separate domain and liked what I saw.  I chose and installed a template and did some minor customization.

Before I was ready to install on the 'real' domain 2.8 was released, so I thought I'd go for the latest.

However, the template that I chose (http://addons.WebsiteBaker.org/pages/templates.php?id=43&p=2) will not upload.  I get the error message:

--- Quote ---Invalid WebsiteBaker installation file. Please check the *.zip format.
--- End quote ---
It's the same file I used to upload before and I've re-downloaded etc. anyway.

I checked out the help docs and this page () says:

--- Quote ---...you still can install templates manually.
Using your favourite ftp client, upload the full, complete, unzipped directory into the “templates” sub-directory of your WB installation. Then, login into your Admin->Settings, click on “Show Advanced Options”, and then use the “Reload Add-ons” tool to reload all templates. This will force WB to manually 'activate' the newly uploaded template
--- End quote ---
But I don't have a “Reload Add-ons” tool when I "Show Advanced Options" :/

So, I guess the template isn't compatible with 2.8.  Is there a way to make it compatible?  Or could the problem be something else?

Hi

just downloaded the template (andreas09) from the addons repository from your link and installed it on a 2.8 installation.
No problems  :-)

Great.

Any idea what this error message that I'm getting means then:

--- Quote ---Invalid WebsiteBaker installation file. Please check the *.zip format.
--- End quote ---

:?

TIA,
Paul

Did you repack the template?
If yes: you must pack the template inside the directory.

No, I didn't do anything other than download it.

Apologies to anyone who comes across this topic looking for a solution to the same problem, but as it was a fresh install I decided to start from scratch, so I deleted everything, including the database tables, then reinstalled.

Now I am back at 2.7, but I have the template installed :)

Thanks for replying erpe

Paul
