I'm trying to install new free Joomla template called gk_magazine. In the download page, I found three links to three zip files for Joomla 3.x:
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip
gk_magazine_J!3.zip
I downloaded the three files to my computer and I tried to install them one by one in the following order:
gk_magazine_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly and Gk_magazine template becomes listed in the template manager and it has been set as default as the screen shot shows.
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip: it is installed correctly too, but there is no any additional items appeared in the template manager.
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip: It does not installed - Warning JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
I saw similar situations with other Joomla templates and I need to know what are the rules of each file described above in the installation of the new templates? are all of them are important? or just the first file only?
From the file structure you can tell what it is!
gk_magazine_rest_files_J!3.zip:
This one is as the name says it 'rest files' means: plugins, notes for a module and a few photoshop images (*.psd)
gk_magazine_quickstart_J!3.zip:
This one is a Joomla Site with the gk_magazine_J!3.zip Template which you can find in the folder templates
gk_magazine_J!3.zip:
This one is a template
EDIT:
Also what's Joomla Site with gk_magazine template mean too?
It means that this is a basic Joomla site which you can copy into your server root folder (e.g. htdocs on XAMPP)
You can see the templates in the templates folder here:
beeze3, protostar and system are some Joomla standard templates which are all in a new basic Joomla site. There also beeze5 or beeze20 as an example, but these are not automatically included in the basic Joomla site

After I made my own additions to the Joomla template files -- I added a module position in a cloned version of the layout file, added the position in the templateDetails.xml file, and checked that the template layout .ini file has my module position -- the module position still does not show up in the layout tab of the backend.
I first tried this in localhost using xampp and everything seems to work fine. Once I transfer the files using FileZilla to the server, the module positions that I added in the layout does not seem to work. I could still find the position in the dropdown, but it does not appear in the blocks of the layout tab. This is the layout that appeared using localhost, but the view that I see after I transferred the files was only the header (no "inner" or "banner" positions):
Module positions are added the first time you install a template - you won't see any new module positions if you update the the XML manifest file of the template. However, you can still use these new positions if you just type in their name. Hopefully, Joomla in the future would have a method to flush and refresh module positions.
I am using a wordpress theme which I have modified a bit, based on the "Revera" Wordpress theme.
I have used it on other sites and it has worded fine. However, I have always installed it in the root of the domain. This time I have installed it on http://www.gas-sense.co.uk/blog
It isn't generating the usual homepage layout ( see http://www.georgeedwards.co )
Just wondering if the themes are typically setup to trigger the homepage layout? and if that is defined in a particular section of the php ?
The root folder is not a problem, you probably didn't set up the site url correctly, read the docs bellow

I've got a custom theme running on the latest stable Concrete5 version.
It's all working great - but tonight I've come to create a variation of an existing template.
Inside the theme/themename/ folder I copied the PHP file for the template.
In the theme/themename/css folder I copied the CSS file used by the existing template.
In the CMS itself I created a new pageType with the alias to match both the php and css file's filename I'd created by copying the previous files.
The PHP / template file is loading fine when chosen as the template for a page, but it's now loading in the associated CSS file.
Cache cleared but to no avail.
Can anyone give me any clues what I'm missing?
This usually is because the css and/or js is hardcoded in the header.
Check the html head (in the template) if the path to the css/js is correct.
here's the interesting thing - I've used this function before but for someone odd reason its stopped working and its sending me to a page that doesn't exist within my website or folder for that instance .... Example:
www(website).com/index.php/component/comprofiler/?task=registers
I use Joomla 2.5 - so what I did being that I thought maybe this folder /comprofiler/ is simply missing - I download Joomla 2.5 again and went into the components folder and there is no such folder there named /com_profiler/ .... so this folder doesn't exist in the joomla 2.5 package either ...
How do I fix this issue - and where exactly is the actually link supposed to go upon clicking 'create new account'? What PHP file do I edit with the new codes if there are new codes?
Thank you.
The folder com_profiler comes from the extension Community Builder. It's not a default Joomla folder.
You simply need to download and install this extension (which is free), then the registration page should work.
I am trying to install the following Magento template into my online store:
http://www.magthemes.com/magento-themes/free-themes/fitness-magento-theme.html
I am using this theme as it closely resembles the design/layout that I am after (I will have to tweak the CSS after installation).
Here is what I have done so far:
Unzipped downloaded file
Transferred the following folders to my server:
app\design\frontend\default\Fitness_1.1 to
/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
skin\frontend\default\ to /public_html/skin/frontend/default/Fitness_1.1
Gone to my sites Admin > System > Configuration > Design
Entered the following:
Templates: Fitness_1.1
Skin (Images / CSS): Fitness_1.1
Layout: Fitness_1.1
Default: default
The theme changed, images changed etc but the Layout is not right and some styles are incorrect, you can see what I mean here:
http://89.200.141.67/~skin/index.php/
Your CSS files aren't loading. Try explicitly setting the skin directory in:
Admin>System>Configuration>Design - Skin (Images/CSS) form field
Uncheck the use website checkbox and make sure that your Current Configuration Scope (the drop down on the top left) is correct.
