Staff replied Helix Framework

Is it possible to have two separate instances of Helix Ultimate Framework running on the same site?

Asked by Jabal Hassanali 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Basically, I have one page where I want to use a different menu and logo. I have tried using another Template entirely for that page but ran into conflicts due to the T3 Framwork.

Is it possible to use a second Template that also uses the Helix Ultimate Framework and have completely different settings than the Defualt Template that I now have in place? I am currently using the Giver Template.
Better still, would it be possible for me to create a COPY of the Giver Template and have completely different settings for the COPY Template Options? I have tried duplicating the Template Style in the Joomla admin but get an error: "Error
Duplicate entry '11' for key 'PRIMARY'"

Thank you for your help!

Hello Jabal Hassanali

Yes, you can duplicate the template and use as many copy as you want. In your case, I think there is an error with your installation. Please share your administrator access here to check the issue. Use the Hidden Content box to share the credentials.

Best regards

Thank you Ofi.... access is in the hidden area. Incidentally, I get the same error attempting to copy the Styles or Templates for any Template.

Please be careful in there.... this site is close to going live.

Thank you!

I should also mention that I attempted to Copy a Template last night after I initially wrote and it too, caused an error and I was left with an incomplete copy in the Templates listing. I removed it.

Thanks for the access. Please download this full site backup (on the hidden content box) and install on your server. Follow this tutorial if needed.

Now install it on your server and check your issue.

Hi Ofi... this did not work. The configuration.php file was not correct. I replaced it with the original and it brought the site down.

Certainly the whole site doesn't have to be replaced to correct this issue that I'm having? Is there a simpler way to handle this? Did you just update a few files? Maybe I can just replace those?

I am not sure about it. But since it worked for me, I assume that the issue is with your database or your server. Please try on your localhost to check if it is the server.

Hi Ofi.... I followed the instructions to restore the site using Akeeba Backup along with the ZIP that you sent me and the site is now functioning with the Template Style copied. Thank you very much for your help!
