I’m trying to change the name of my template. The older instructions I have no longer work. I renamed my template folder. I also changed in the TemplateDetails.xml. Where else do I need to change? I’m using default Dark-Green…Thanks!

Yes, you should also change language files to suite your new template. What problem have you met?

Where do I go to change in the language file? So in other words, I need to change the Folder Name, TemplateDetails.xml and Language file which you will provide? Thanks!

Change your language files in language folders in administrator and front end from en-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini to en-GB.tpl_your_template.ini.

In my instruction please change all “your_template” to your template name.

Hi, thank you for your help however I cannot find en-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini. I do see en_GB.tpl_atomic.ini and en_GB.tpl_breez.ini in the administrator/language/en-GB but cannot find ja_ores.

When you say change you language in front end what do you mean? Thanks again! This used to be simple, I’ve done it in the past but now it has changed and seems to be hidden >:(

The language file in front end that I told before is languageen-GBen-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini please find and change its name to en-GB.tpl_your_template.ini. The same for en-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini in administratorlanguageen-GB. I have attached here 2 language files in case you haven’t got them.

OK, I “think” I know what might be wrong. After following your directions it did not work. I thought it was strange I didn’t have either language files in my folders. Also I noticed while making the changes that my templatedetails.xml was different from yours. As you will notice I have nothing past the “positions tags”. The version you show is 1.1.6. I just noticed that my templatedetails.xml pasted below shows Beta Version 1.1.0. Should I un-install or is there a way to change the Template Name with the 1.6 Joomla and Beta version JA ores 1.1.0 template? I used Quickstart install. No problem for me to uninstall everything and start over however if there is a way to rename the template without going through the hassle that would be better. Thanks again!

Sorry for the fault but you haven’t mentioned that you are using joomla 1.6. :cool:. This is your guide in the case you want to change template name in JA Ores 1.6:

Here is the detail in changing template name:

1. Change ja_ores in templates to your_template.

2. Change templateDetails.xml to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE install PUBLIC "-//Joomla! 1.6//DTD template 1.0//EN" "http://www.joomla.org/xml/dtd/1.6/template-install.dtd"> <extension version="1.6" type="template" method="upgrade"> <name>your_template</name> <version>1.0.1</version> <creationDate>April 04 2011</creationDate> <author>JoomlArt.com</author> <authorEmail>webmaster@joomlart.com</authorEmail> <authorUrl>http://www.joomlart.com</authorUrl> <copyright>Copyright (C), J.O.O.M Solutions Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved.</copyright> <license>license GNU/GPLv3 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html</license> <description>Your Template</description> <engine>t3</engine> <files> <filename>component.php</filename> <filename>favicon.ico</filename> <filename>index.html</filename> <filename>index.php</filename> <filename>info.xml</filename> <filename>params.ini</filename> <filename>template_thumbnail.png</filename> <folder>blocks</folder> <folder>core</folder> <folder>css</folder> <folder>images</folder> <folder>info</folder> <folder>html</folder> <folder>admin</folder> </files>
<languages> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_your_template.ini</language> </languages> <administration> <languages folder="admin"> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_your_template.ini</language> </languages> </administration> <positions> <position>hotnews</position> <position>hornav</position> <position>breadcrumbs</position> <position>search</position> <position>banner</position> <position>left</position> <position>right</position> <position>top</position> <position>user1</position> <position>user2</position> <position>user3</position> <position>user4</position> <position>user5</position> <position>user6</position> <position>user7</position> <position>user8</position> <position>user9</position> <position>user10</position> <position>user11</position> <position>footer</position> <position>syndicate</position> <position>debug</position> <position>left</position> <position>right</position> <position>slideshow</position> <position>right-mass-top</position> <position>content-mass-bottom</position> <position>user1</position> <position>user2</position> <position>user3</position> <position>user4</position> <position>user5</position> <position>user6</position> <position>user7</position> <position>user8</position> <position>user9</position> <position>user10</position> <position>user11</position> <position>user12</position> <position>user13</position> <position>user14</position> <position>user15</position> <position>user16</position> </positions> <config> <fields name="params" addfieldpath="/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/element"> </fields> </config> </extension>

– Change info.xml in templatesyour_templates to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <theme> <name>Your template</name> <description>Your template</description> <date>April 2010</date> <version>1.0.0</version> <author>JoomlArt</author> <copyright>JoomlArt</copyright> <stylesheets> <file>css/typo.css</file> </stylesheets> <scripts> </scripts> </theme>

Change your language files in language folders in administrator and front end from en-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini to en-GB.tpl_your_template.ini:

languageen-GBen-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini
administratorlanguageen-GBen-GB.tpl_ja_ores.ini

then copy them to:

templatesyour_template
templatesyour_templateadmin

After all done, please copy templatesyour_template folder to tmp folder and then go to admin -> extensions -> extensions manage and uninstall JA_Ores template.

Go to admin -> extensions -> extensions manage and then install your_template.

In my instruction please change all “your_template” to your template name.
