Hi Paul,

Just an update - I have updated the template and the front end of the site now displays correctly, however the module positions themselves do not display on the Design tab even after clicking 'Load Layout' I have tried to load some of the built in layouts also and all of them are empty.

This is really becoming a pain now. I have another post open about the Top1/Top2 positions overlapping to which I was advised to update the template, which I cannot do as I then cannot administer it. I have attempted this 6-7 times now with out any change in behaviour. Please can you look in to this as soon as possible?

I have updated the credentials above for the site I am currently working on. Please feel free to back up and restore using Akeeba as needed.

Regards
Donna

Hi Paul,

No I reverted back to the template version 1.3.2 as I cannot administer the template after the update due to the module positions not appearing. As this is a current build I cannot leave it without the module positions for any period of time as I am still building the site. However, as mentioned please feel free to backup/revert using akeeba to test.

There are still issues with styles/colors not being applied in this older version of the template also thus I would really like to get the template upto date for future builds.

Hi D,

I've taken another backup and download of the site
I've installed it locally and updated the latest template version and zen plugin

The layout is intact and I can save different settings

Are you losing the layout when you open the settings or after a save?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul, the settings are missing after I update the template. If I then go into the template to load the previous saved settings the module positions do not appear, even when applying the default settings packaged with the template.

I have not updated the Zen plugin, could that be the problem?

Regards
D

Hi D,

You can't update one without the other

buildr + zen plugin framework need to be updated at the same time

Cheers

Thanks Paul, I have updated the Zengrid framework and then installed the template and these seems to have resolved the issue with the missing module positions - however it seems that when I make changes in the template design tab i.e. changing the background color of a row/container - the changes are not being applied on the frontend.

Please see screenshots attached, one showing the frontend navbar element and the other showing the settings in the backend. As I need to move on with this project I will override the settings using my custom.css but this does seem to be a bug.

Additionally, things which are set to be hidden on phones/tablets in the template settings are still showing. There is definitely something wrong - maybe the template is corrupt?

I.e I have the menu and logo set to be hidden on phones/tablets as I have separate modules for smaller screen but the logo is still showing.

Is the error so at the moment the site is not compiling

Do you have an index.html in the root of this site?

If not can you add ftp details

The error indicates a file in the root or a problem with the site hosting

I've downloaded a copy of the site and installed it

Can you try now with the site?

I've saved and changed the menu link colour

Thanks
