best solution for switching from a proprietary template to wimble

Asked by HDcms 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi
What do you recommend and what steps do I need to take to go from a proprietary template in joomla 3 to wimble in joomla 4?

I've had error messages and difficulties integrating wimble as the default template on a test site that went from joomla 3 to joomla 4.

I'm thinking of switching from the proprietary theme to the wimble theme in joomla. Once the site is correct, I'll switch to joomla 4.
Would you see any risks or problems in not finding the job done?

Hello Ofi
Thanks for this article, but I forgot to mention that I've already done about ten migrations to joomla 4. Either I updated the template, or I went back to cassiopea.
My question is peculiar, because I have a hand-developed theme from which I've removed the coding, the modules...
I'm wondering what's safer and simpler
a) first migrate to joomla 4, then install and configure Wimble
b) configure the site with Wimble under joomla 3 then switch to joomla 4?
I think it would be interesting but I want to be sure not to lose a position or have a bug related to wimble (which I don't think has been updated for a long time!).

I'm obliged to start with Wimble, but I'm wondering in general if there are easier themes to migrate to in this particular context

Both ways will work. But the safe approach will be convert to Joomla 4. Then modify the template.

I don't get you now. Convert as you like. No problems.

Ok, I'm trying to be precise, it's just to make this adaptation quicker and safer, and not to ask you to do it again.

I find the old template and wimble very different in terms of module position. The main question is whether you'd recommend another joomshaper template that's not too different in terms of ergonomics?

Well, I imagine it's going to be difficult for you to recommend a template close to the old theme.
I chose wimble, a bit at random as we're not exactly on the same presentations.

If you can't, can you just help me start the main menus so I can finalize this?

Hello Ofi

Could you help me get started with the main menus if I give you access?

This is the 1st time I'm switching from a very different (custom) theme to a joomshapper theme and I can't stick to the quickstarts) unless another joomshapper theme is easier to achieve their module placement?

Hello
Maybe ofi is not available?
Can someone help me? or should I post a new one as the request is a bit different?
I spend hours on wimble (not sure it's the most appropriate looking at the lens https://www.altius.fr/fr/protection-individuelle.html ), I can't get started with the 2 top menus
1/ top menu
2/ main menu
