Shape 5

After I perform a manual install of J 1.5.7, the generic template is presented.

If I want to install more than one template in addition to the generic one so I or my visitors can change the look of the site, would additional installs remove the previous database or just add the needed tables for the additional templates?

Or would I create a new database for each template?

Also, when using the site shaper, do I create the database first them just upload the site shaper folder to load the rest of the template data? I tried using the install in the Template Manager but it kept bombing so I figured I'd come here and ask.

Thanks,

Sam

 

Hi Sam,

You would install the templates on the same install of Joomla and then you can use the template chooser module for your users to select the template they want to use.

When you use the site shaper you create a blank database and then install it just like you would install Joomla.
