How-to Use A Template

Template 1 year ago

Hello guys. I wanted to use the Investa template in a fresh Joomla 5 installation. So i downloaded only the template file itself and the settings file. The Installation of the Template was successful but the settings file returns an error. https://prnt.sc/XZfDIgU2e_VD

Was the settings file installed or not?

Next question.

I cannot find any Investa template files like articels, menus, fotos etc. to edit them.

Do only the Quickstart have these files? -> Then this should be documentated in the Templates documentation section!

If yes, what is the reason to make only the Template available for download? For me it looks like a standard Joomla Installation only with the difference that i can select Investa as Site Template Style, but that changes nothing.

Is it normal, that Helix show the underline Entries, if i open the Investa Template settings? https://prnt.sc/jYO39sQby39n

  1. OK
  2. I know, but personally I cannot change that :(
  3. All those are Joomla files. Later after update just check Joomla status etc.

Yes, just mark checked.

Hi,

  1. About first message, hard to say, but seems to be template installed anyway.
  2. Language bug. I shared that file few times, but I will again: en-GB.tpl_investa.ini_UNZIP.zip

Download it, unzip, and upload (override) current file using FTP tool, inside folder: language/en-GB

Sorry, I don't understand. Articles and menu are not files, but records in database (since Joomla 1.0). Photos, we offer only dummy images. If you thought about DEMO data in general. As always, QuickStart must be installed, not raw template.

Template Documenation (read both!):

Hey Paul, thx for your quick response.

  1. It was the Investa settings zip that produced that error message. Anyway, i rereaded the documentation and found the Information that Demo files are only in the Quickstart, as you also posted here. Great, i used that.

  2. Thx i will use that language file. But isn't it better to fix the Investa Template for all users instead of posting every time the language file?

The Investa Quickstart Pack was a little bit cheeky on my own Server. But after i fixed the „Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes“ error message, it worked. Then i upgraded to Joomla 5.0.2 (because Investa is J5 ready according to Joomshaper) and got new error messages. https://prnt.sc/sgpFGppZT_r0

Are these Failed deleting messages important and must i do something?

These 47 Files that the Investa Template have an override for, can i just mark them as checked or is here also something to do?

Quickstart and Template - this same you get also if you would buy template from different developer.
