ACM modules not working in Quickstart

nicely

I have downloaded and installed the latest Quickstart (17/4/2019) and have found that the ACM module is not working properly. None of the ACM modules load on the default home page. Checking the actual module configs shows no configuration options under the 'type' selection. If you try to setup an ACM block, only the Sample Layout is listed. This is the same for all of the pre-configured ACM modules.

nicely Hi

You may retry installing Quickstart package ensuring that :
1. You also click on the "sample data - Default" during installation process as also outlined here
2. Installation is done on fresh directory with new database as it already contains all the prerequisite joomla core folders and files so Quickstart package wont install on already running Joomla site.

If the relative issue still persists, Can you add your admin and ftp details in edit fields in order for us to take closer look.
For reference, You can follow thread post (5 point) procedure.

I have, in fact, tried the installation three separate times, two deleting the previous database, one with a entirely new DB. Installing sample data is preselected and has no option to do otherwise.

Additionally, I tried a fresh Joomla install and installed the template and all extensions separately. The ACM module is still missing the General Settings and no Feature Types.

I've added a login. This is a local dev server and has no FTP.

Hi
It look like there are missing file for ACM Module in the quickstart package. I raised the issue to concern team and we will re export the package, I will update you once it get fixed.

Thanks!

I think it is more likely that the file is actually missing from the 1.0.1 version of the template, as the previous version of the ACM module (v2.1.4) to that in the Quickstart (v2.1.5) doesn't work when installed manually with all the separate JA Space extensions (which includes the v1.0.1 template). Also, someone else would have noticed if the module hadn't been working since the issue of v2.1.5 in Nov 2017.

In fact, I can confirm that it is version 1.0.1 of the template. I just installed v1.0.0 and the ACM module works.

Hi
The template has the ACM Files in it. Kindly download the quickstart package again, and try installation. We fixed the packaged yesterday.

I over-wrote the template folder from the new Quickstart version and ACM now works. Hopefully the standalone template download will also be updated...

Hi
The template 1.0.1 already have the ACM. There is issue in the quickstart only. If you will install only template and ACM on fresh Joomla you will see the options to add new ACM module.

As I mentioned previously, ACM doesn't work when the latest versions of modules and v1.0.1 template are installed on a fresh copy of Joomla. Change the template to v1.0.0 and ACM works.

Additionally, v1.0.1 is missing the /templates/ja_space/acm folder. Copy that folder from v1.0.0 or the new Quickstart and ACM works.

Therefore, there is a difference between template versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 which stops ACM working. Specifically, the /templates/ja_space/acm folder is included in the v1.0.1 download, but is missing in the templateDetails.xml, meaning it isn't copied into Joomla during installation of the download.

You can put the site details in edit fields option on which you have this problem.
I will check it.

Here is a section of v1.0.1's templateDetails.xml.

		<language tag="en-GB">en-GB/en-GB.tpl_ja_space.sys.ini</language>
	</languages>

It shows that

		<folder>acm</folder>

is missing from the installation instructions.

OK, I can now see that v1.0.1 of the template was updated at 4:19 on 25/4/2019. The original version I downloaded and was testing when I reported the problem was dated 7:29 on 17/4/2019. So the template WAS updated yesterday also.
