Corporate template - compiling less to css

Huski1

I have applied some of the updates to corporate template and modules, etc - and not sure what has done it, but if I try to make changes to the template, it never comiles less to css - just sits there with the message at the top.

The background image at the top of corporate disappeared and went to template to try and fix it but nothing to fix - it just doesn't show, so saved and as mentioned above - actually never saves.

Really frustrating as website works well, then I update modules or whatever to newer versions and then it breaks. Is there anywhere that gives info specific to Joomla Bamboo templates. There has been no new templates for a long time so I wonder why i keep renewing my subscription to it? Not easy to find News on whats going on.

Hi Huski1

Could you please provide your website url and a super user account to access backend? We will have a look at your settings and answer in the correct way.

Ok - I have been slack with this website.

I have done some clearing up of old files, database tables, and updated everything.

But when I go into the Corporate template and make any changes and then try and compile it/or save template it never does - I can walk away for hours and it is still compiling LESS to CSS.

What would cause this? Is there something I should look at?

I would need to create 2 logins for you as am using sitelock to create a splash page for the site, then I would need to create a superuser.

UPDATE:

This is using the flatsalmon theme. If I change to another theme, it changes the front end. And it now seems to compile ok., change back to Flat Salmon theme, it now compiles, but won't show the image background?

Have CTRL refreshed screen - nothing.

Hi Huski1

You can share the credentials of your site eg: URL + admin + ftp account so I can take a look

Ok - will set up a Super admin.

I have deleted the template and reintsalled it - it seems to compile now BUT doesnt seem to do anything. I am wanting the site to look like the demo site, which uses the Flat Salmon theme. I choose the theme, and then Save and Compile. Seems to work ok as in I choose the theme and click on the compile button. I click SAVE or Save and CLOSE to get out of the template. Nothing on the front end seems to change. And then when I go back into the template, the theme revers back to the blues theme. Really annoying. Not sure if its a cache thing but I clear the cache, CTRL-F5 - but no change.

How do I send you the sign-in without making it public.

On the Joomla Bamboo site, it says zengrid framework 4 applies to the corporation website. Can't see this installed anywhere - found zengrid framework 5, but have disabled that. Also, on joomlart website, there is no zengrid framwork v4 for download - so am a little confused - whether this has an affect on the issue or not.

Kindly check the 5th point here for how to share the info: https://www.joomlart.com/forums/d/772-how-to-ask-a-question-on-forum

Pls note that JB Corporate and JB Corporation are 2 different templates, this compile feature belongs to Zen framework so I guess you're using JB Corporation template - which is built with Zen Grid Framework v4.

Huski1

sorry yes - its the Jb Corporation template - didn't see that there was an older corporate template.

All of this relates to the JB Corporation - so not sure if you can move to the correct forum.

I am almost at the point of having to start from scratch as just can't get the template on my site to match and work like the quickstart for corporation at all. Prefer not to. Weird also with site down for maintenance - I can login if using chrome, but cant login using firefox.

Hi Huski1

Could you clarify the part that you want to be the same as our demo site?

And I can login normally in Firefox: https://prnt.sc/sajzdn

If I try and compile the corporation template, as soon as you save and close the template in the admin, the theme changes from flatsalmon which is what I want back to blues theme - it stays on the flatsalmon theme if I choose it then compile - but as long as I don't save and close the template its ok.

Also, the image is not appearing at the top - even in the blues theme, if I add a background image and then compile, it just keeps compiling to less. Happens in both chrome and firefox. Happens when I try to add a background image in any of the themes.

Set up corporation on the same server in a seperate folder, and everything works fine - difference being I installed the quickstart pacakge, whereas my main website only has the template installed.

Could you share the ftp account also?

Huski1

Not sure - never have used ftp - how is this setup as in where would you need to upload files? I will need to ask my host how to do this.

You can setup a FTP account in hosting manager.
