Shape5 - Risen Hope template update for Joomla 4.x

silbano

Hi Saguaros,

My main church website is designed with the Shape5 Risen Hope template. Could you provide me with instructions on how to migrate the website from Joomla 3.x to Joomla 4.x? This template was created in late 2014. If this cannot be done, is it possible to change the template for the S5 Light Church template? The S5 Light Church template is on your list for updates. Will you be creating any new Shape5 templates?

Best regards,

Silbano

Hi Silbano,

To be honest, we're updating a large collection of products for all of our brands and we're updating from latest products to old ones: JoomlArt / Gavick / Jomsocial / iJoomla / Shape5 / ....

We're not working on Shape5's products but they are in the list, there will be blog posts for this accordingly.

Regards

Hi Saguaros,

Thanks for the reply. The S5 Light Church template is on your list. Do you have any instructions on how to convert the S5 Risen Hope template to the S5 Light Church template?

I've heard that you can change out S5 templates within their brand. Can you point me to some instructions on doing that?

Changing my S5 Risen Hope template to the S5 Light Church template will be the only way to get me on a path to Joomla 4.x. Your response is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Silbano

Hi silbano

I'm not sure by 'convert' here, if you switch to Light Church template, you can simply install this template and configure it manually.

You can backup your site first, then:
- Download template package and complimentary extensions for S5 Light Church template
- Install into your site like other Joomla package
- Set S5 Light Church as default template and setup as you wish.

I don't believe the question was answered of HOW to up date Shape5 templates. The downloaded ZIP files for J4 templates gives me errors when I install it (Can't find Joomla XML setup file), and it doesn't update when I overwrite the files for a particular template via FTP (which was the recommended way for Shape5 back in the day). What is the correct process to update the templates?

To clarify, I've installed the template only (not quickstart), but I still get the error "0 - Class 'JRequest' not found". Is this a topic for another post?

saguaros

headcake I guess you're trying to install quickstart package into your existing website, the quickstart package is used for a new website only. If you're having a website, you should install template package instead:

So is there a Joomla 4 compatible Risen Hope template? I can see a quickstart for Joomla 4 in the list of files.

saguaros

S5 Risen Hope template is already compatible with Joomla 4, you can update latest version of template here: https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/shape5/joomla-templates/s5-risen-hope

That's great, I am already testing my site migration to Joomla 4. Somehow Vertex color is messed up. Here is what I get for one of the raws '# 98CA3D' where the space is somehow inserted after #

#s5_top_row2_area2 {
background: # 98CA3D !important;
}

Sorry if this is a Vertex issue but am not sure where to post it.

aalekizoglou HI

Do you mean this error appear with 1.0.6 version of template?

You can share the URL + super admin + FTP account so I can check (you can put in your reply and set is as Private reply)

aalekizoglou

I am using 1.0.5 version of the tempalte

The error comes from the file
templates/risen_hope/css/core/s5_vertex_addons-min.php

where there are a lot of lines like this
color: # <?php echo $s5_responsive_mobile_sidebar_font_color; ?> !important;

or this
background: # <?php echo $s5_responsive_mobile_bar_stop; ?> !important;

Here is a space after #. Changed that in all occurences and it worked

By the way, just downloaded 1.0.6 and it is fixed
