I can't get the theme to work out

Hi,

I couldn’t install the quickstart package. It ended everytime in an error.
So I installed the 1.8 Magento package through our hoster.

I installed the template manually and for as far as I can see I added al the blocks and made the requested adjustments.

The only positons that are displaying properly are position 6 to 9.

Would you be so kind to take a look at what I don’t do right.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi mate,

what’s the problem you were facing while installing the quickstart package ? To install the theme manually you can follow the theme userguide here to get the extensions installed and configured correctly.

Hi Sherlock,

It was twice a nothing saying error like: Installation failed.
Everytime the screen locked.

I think I followed the instructions.
The old blocks are still active.

I wonder why the postions 1 to 5 are not visible.
The old blocks are still visible.

Did you take a look in the settings and
adjustments I did?

There are two homepages for exsample.
What kind of template is it?
One collumn or two with a sidebar?

Thanks for your time and effort.

Hi eclecticus,

I took a look and I am seeing some missing parts there
For example for the home cms page, on the Layout Update XML field under Design panel you should enter this

HTML Code:

   <!-- Bottom Spotlight - topsl -->
				<reference name="topsl">
					<block type="cms/block" name="position-1">
						<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-1</block_id></action>
					</block>
					
					<block type="cms/block" name="position-2">
						<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-2</block_id></action>
					</block>
					<block type="cms/block" name="position-3">
						<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-3</block_id></action>
					</block>
					<block type="cms/block" name="position-4">
						<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-4</block_id></action>
					</block>
					
				</reference>
				<!-- Bottom Spotlight - topsl -->

<reference name="left">
            <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
</reference>

 <reference name="content">
             <block type="joomlart_jmcategorylist/list" name="jmcategorylist" template="joomlart/jmcategorylist/list.phtml" />
</reference>

and under the Content panel you should enter this

HTML Code:

<div>{{block type="joomlart_jmproductsslider/list" name="home.jmproductsslider" template="joomlart/jmproductsslider/list.phtml" }} {{widget type="cms/widget_block" template="cms/widget/static_block/default.phtml" block_id="18"}} {{block type="joomlart_jmproducts/list" name="home.jmproducts.list" template="joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml" }}</div>

And in the slideshow (position-1) static block you should enter this content

HTML Code:

<div class=" ja-topsl_left">{{block type="joomlart_jmslideshow/list" name="jmslideshow" template="joomlart/jmslideshow/list.phtml" }}</div>

I hope this helps !

Hi Sherlock,

Thanks. I am getting closer.
Every block has to be added to the homepage xml.

When I view the homepage source is gives:

<html>
<head>
<title>GoPros.nl -- Alles van -- en voorGoPro producten</title>
<meta name="description" content="GoPros.nl -- Alles van -- en voorGoPro producten">
<meta name="keywords" content="Gopro,Sportcamera,Actioncam,Waterdicht,Sk ieen,Motorsport,Surfen, Parachutespringen,kitesurfen,windsurfen,zeilen">
</head>
<FRAMESET COLS="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
<FRAME SRC="http://www.fotolooman.nl/gopros"&gt;
<NOFRAMES>
Uw browser ondersteunt geen frames, download een nieuwe browser.
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</html>

no css or whatever else files that should appear in the head.

how can I solve this?

Thanks for your time.

We are getting a little bit further. This is something more than the documentation is telling me, but still does not work at our site.

I hope the is very soon getting a complete online documentation with working links to the backend settings as promised. I am trying to get my site running now for about 2 days…

I have been told, there would be an update last week, for working submenu’s on mobile, and hope this is comming soon aswell.

@ rontermeer,

Could you help to share with me backend settings’s links that are not working in our documentation? You feedback will help us improve our userguide a lots. Thanks in advance for your support on this.

I have been told, there would be an update last week, for working submenu’s on mobile, and hope this is comming soon aswell.

If the issue still persist, you can pm me your url, admin as well as FTP credentials, I will help to check further.
