Hey all,

Okay I set my options for my site via the Cpanel in the top right corner, that’s cool.

Problem is if I go to the same site in another browser the appearance resets itself to the default one!?!?!?!

Can someone please tell me how to setup my site so that when I make an adjustment in Cpanel, it actually makes a permanent change, no matter what browser you use to view the site!

Any help would be great

The Cpanel settings are stored in a cookie on your browser, so that’s why it doesn’t look the same on another computer. You can make the changes in the template parameters in the admin. Extensions>Template Manager>your template. If you set your prefrences there it will set it globaly. You can then remove the Cpanel on the front end in the admin if you want the changes to be permenant and site users won’t be able to change anything.
Good luck

Hi instantinlaw, thanks for explaining this.

Yes ok when I go into my backend: Template Manager, Edit Template Style, I have a default, Blue, Red and User-Theme profiles (User-Theme is the one I created, I also created a layout called (User-Theme)) these are the ones I use cpanel to change to, so I see the change.

Back int he back end now I go to default, go down to Advanced Settings there it shows “theme settings” and “layout settings” , I click edit and put my user-theme as default for the themes and then layout settings I edit desktop layout and change that from default to user-theme also.

I also make sure under my user-theme profile this is also what is set. I click Save, and removed all cookies from my other browsers and reloaded the site in them, but still it just loads the “default” T3 theme.

Is there something else I need to do??? Clear a cache, or something?

Thanks for the help

instantinlaw I have worked out what is happening.

If you look at this image:
http://gyazo.com/7038eeab01ff20abf1216f2f40f8f47c.png?1326852097

You will see that under Template Manager: Edit Style, there is a panel called Language and Page assignments, which allows you to override profiles for specific pages.

The problem is that their is a rule there that says Profile Red is set to “All Pages” and it wont allow me to remove the rule!

As soon as I edited the red profile manually and switched my theme and layouts in that profile, it updated in the other browsers!

So I dont know if that is what the T3 developer want to happen, but at the moment I just cant remove that Red All pages rule.

Any help would be great

Hi, I haven’t actually used the settings in the template manager very much, but if it is assigned to all pages, there should be an option to set it to one page or no pages. Here is the link to the guide for working with the T3 framework though, I hope this helps; http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides and here is the themes section; http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides#Themes_Panel Let me know if this helps.
