Ordinary uploading of JA Teine II through back end of Joomla 1.5 didn’t work, so after transferring the unzipped ‘JA Teline II v1.3 for Joomla 1.5.x Folder’ with FTP, I tried to install from directory (/home1/euleksik/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/template/JA Teline II v1.3 for Joomla 1.5.x Folder). After a short while, the following message appears on a blank page:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getTagName() on a non-object in /home1/euleksik/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/installer.class.php on line 167

As far as I can see line 167 looks like this (line 15 below):

}
/**
* @param string A file path
* @return object A DOMIT XML document, or null if the file failed to parse
*/
function isPackageFile( $p_file ) {
$xmlDoc = new DOMIT_Lite_Document();
$xmlDoc->resolveErrors( true );

if (!$xmlDoc->loadXML( $p_file, false, true )) {
return null;
}
$root = &$xmlDoc->documentElement;

if ($root->getTagName() != ‘mosinstall’) {
return null;
}
// Set the type
$this->installType( $root->getAttribute( ‘type’ ) );
$this->installFilename( $p_file );
return $xmlDoc;
}

May be this error was he reason why I did not succeed in uploading he template through Joomla back end as well? I have no experience in coding whatsoever so my competence stretches barely this far.

Got a clue anyone?

If you have transfered the unzipped folder it wont work, unzipped folder goes to the templates folder.

The main folder ‘JA Teline II v1.3 for Joomla 1.5.x Folder’ was unzipped before it was transferred to the /public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/template/ -folder.

Unzip, upload to folder templates. Then you have the template in the template manager and can assing it as default.

Hi ragnarl,

Why not save yourself the trouble and just upload a full Joomla 1.5x-JATeline II Quickstart kit, and do an Easy Installation?

JA Teline II v1.3 for Joomla! 1.5.x : Quickstart included Joomla! 1.5.3 + Template & Extensions installation packages (10.51 MB)
http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=501

Download the above. Hung (see above) and Menalto have posted procedures for this. If you do the Easy installation, you have to unzip (double click the downloaded forlder), then find

JA Teline II v1a 1.5.x-1 Folder => go to Quickstart folder => ja_teline_ii_qui_v1.3_1.5.3.zip => unpack (doubleclick) => ja_teline_ii_qui_v1.3_1.5.3

The last one is what you have to upload for the Easy installation.

What Menalto has tried to tell you is that you are not supposed to install

Teline II v1.3 for Joomla 1.5.x Folder

If you install using the extension installation in the Admin of Joomla. This is what you do. After downloading from the link shown above, do this sequentially

JA Teline II v1.3 for Joomla 1.5.x-1.zip => unpack (doubleclick) => JA Teline II v1a 1.5.x-1 Folder => go to Template folder => ja_teline_ii_tem_v1.3_1.5.3.zip => this is what you use for your installation (not ja_teline_ii_tem_v1.3_1.5.3).

Hi ragnarli
Do you have any successful ?

First; thanks a lot to you all, especially cgc0202 and Menalto! (Existing articles on this topic on the forum was very helpful as well):)

After two days away, and one day with square eyes I finally got the trick with Quickstart. It took a while before I understood that the whole Joomla site was included, and that I did not have to install the template ‘around’ the existing Joomla I already had.

So I uploaded, made a new database and managed to get up a new site with a Teline heading. next step is of course to fill it with content, (I have about 1000 pages from another site) and I am trying to learn how to establish a suitable architecture with sections, categories, etc. So if you know a good tutorial for this I would be most grateful.

Down the road I will
– firstly need to know what to do to remove the preliminary name at the end of the URL: http://www.euleksikon.info/TelineEU/ (As you see, its not much there yet)
– secondly change the whole domaine name (euleksikon is just a preliminary dummy.

but I may start new threads for these kind of questions?

Again, thanks!

I am glad it finally “worked” for you agnarli. At least the first stage. I noticed you are using the Joomla 1.5x-JA Teline.II. Perhaps more than 90% of the issues that affect people are from installations using Joomla 1.5x-JA Teline.II..

Even before I realized that this was what was happening, there were a number of reasons why, in spite of using Joomla for more than a year now, I decided to stick with Joomla 1.0x with Joomlart template like JA Teline II. Except for one major problem (which has not been resolved yet), I have not encountered many of the problems posted by Joomla 1.5x-JA Teline.II. users.

As to well-written Manuals, and good tutorials, Joomlart is not known for them, in spite of some of their very good templates. So, we decided we are going to write our own well-written manuals and tutorials, and not wait for something that is not likely to come.
