2.Slideshow installs but has fatal error

Hi Barbara

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Most of these issues have now been addressed with the latest version of the template. To obtain the latest version you can re-download using the Download-ID received with your purchase. I will also send you a dropbox URL via email.

Update details.

3/4. Due to varying CSS3 standards across browser platforms it is not possible to obtain cross browser compatiblity on some of the more modern selectors which we use and remain WC3 validated and is why we no longer advertise our templates as so. This is also true for the default Joomla template (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fjoomla30.cloudaccess.net%2F&;profile=css3&usermedium=all&warning=1&vextwarning=&lang=en)

Hello Ciaran

I downloaded the file from Dropbox that you sent.

Sadly I still have the same errors 1 and 2.

I am on a fresh install of Joomla 3.

1. j51imagelinkhover

Warning
JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist /home/public_html/arkadia/tmp/install_50bb3c704f588/mod_j51imagelinkhover/images

Message
Error installing module

I have corrected and attached this file for your reference.

Directory renamed from img to images (xml file refers to images and not img)
Stylesheet refers to img and not images and so changed to images.

You could have changed the xml file to img I suppose, but I chose the other way.


2. Slideshow has a fatal error.
Warning: require_once(/home/public_html/arkadia/modules/mod_AutsonSlideShowDShelper.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/arkadia/modules/mod_AutsonSlideShow/mod_AutsonSlideShow.php on line 14

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/public_html/arkadia/modules/mod_AutsonSlideShowDShelper.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/public_html/arkadia/modules/mod_AutsonSlideShow/mod_AutsonSlideShow.php on line 14

So assuming my correction is ok, then we stillhave the same slideshow error.

Please advise.


Kind regards

Hi Barbara

To amend the issue on your slideshow open the slideshows default.php (../modules/mod_AutsonSlideShow/tmpl/default.php) and change the following (line14)

$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();

Change to...

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();

Hopefully that should resolve the issue for you.

Sadly no that has not solved the problem.

I made the following change, which seems to work, but i am not sure if it is correct.

/arkadia/modules/mod_AutsonSlideShow/mod_AutsonSlideShow.php

replace "require_once (dirname(__FILE__).DS.'helper.php');"
with "require_once (dirname(__FILE__).'/'.'helper.php');"

Can you tell me if this is correct please?

Hi Barbara

Yes this is correct. Since Joomla 3.0 the DS constant has been removed (http://docs.joomla.org/Potential_backward_compatibility_issues_in_Joomla_3.0_and_Joomla_Platform_12.1).

I am really surprised with your replies.

I bought a template which did not install properly.

I told you the errors and you said they were corrected and they were not.

I then corrected them myself and shared the corrections.

Your latest reply

"Yes this is correct. Since Joomla 3.0 the DS constant has been removed (http://docs.joomla.org/Potential_backward_compa...Joomla_Platform_12.1)."

Suggests that you knew about this and that I am an eejit

The template was banjaxed, you made a bags of doing it and now you are acting the maggot by not saying sorry.

You must have been Fluthered on the Black stuff when you put this one together.

If I knew your mother I would be telling her Ciarán

I totally agree that this has indeed been an absolute comedy of errors on our part regarding the updates of this template in amending these issues. We had been expecting some teething problems with Joomla 3.0 over the last few template releases but never had anticipated them all to be landed on a single client. That along with one error after the next on my part when repackaging the template with the updates.

Thank you for your patience and I am deeply sorry and somewhat embarrassed by the whole sharade. As a small token I have refunded your purchase. I also apologise for my previous abrupt post, I in no way ment any offence.

Thanks Ciarán

No need for a refund .. I like your templates this is the second one I have bought .. and I know Joomla 3 can be a pain ..

I was just starting to feel I was the one to blame.

You can give me half price on your next template.


Kind regards

At present we are still designing our templates on Joomla 2.5 and then upgrading them to Joomla 3.0 which has been leaving to much room for error on some of the finer points in the Joomla 3.0 version of the template and its extensions. An issue we hope to address in future.

The refund has gone through. It's the least I can do considering the time you spent in addressing these problems.

Kind regards
