Shape 5

Everything is fine but once I install joomfish 2.5 only the part <jdoc:include type="head"> is loaded of shape5 templates such as "construction" and "corporate response" which results in only one a piece of the top of the site being loaded.

Any ideas? The Photofolio siteshaper template on the other hand seems to work ok.

Hello,

That would be an issue with the Joomfish component, it sounds like it's altering the default layout of the template. A template can't control the functions of another extension.

I understand it could be due to joomfish but it works with the photofolio template and joomfish should be pretty stable now.

The error I get is:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class JMenuSite in C:\xampp\htdocs\construction-ss\includes\menu.php on line 136

I found out this is an error that can only be fixed on shape5 side, they have hardcoded file includes everywhere (joomla has a loader for this purpose).

Actuall error is in templates/corporate_response/vertex/s5flex_menu/helpers.php, line 41 >

change

$path = $info->path.'/includes/menu.php';
if (file_exists($path)) {
require_once $path;
// Create a JPathway object
$classname  = 'JMenu'.ucfirst($client);

to

$path = $info->path.'/includes/menu.php';
$classname  = 'JMenu'.ucfirst($client);
if (file_exists($path)) {
if (!class_exists($classname)){
     require_once $path;
}
// Create a JPathway object

Could you please check your coding? This change fixes it indeed.

Hello,

The re-written function isn't doing anything different other than an extra if statement, which isn't necessary. The statement is simply calling menu.php a very common practice in Joomlal extensions. This is not a bug in our product, we have no other members reporting any other issues of this kind. As a suggestion if you are using Joomla 1.7 or higher I would simply use the default language manager that comes with Joomla, it does the same thing as Joomfish and it's native to he CMS.

I already posted that someone reports the same error here: https://github.com/JoomFish/jf-future/issues/101
We are using Joomla 2.5.8 but Joomfish is much easier to maintain in our opinion and others think so too.

It seems the added statement fixes the template.
A different ambiguous error still shows up with the shape5 templates after that change though.

It doesn't occur with the default beez2 template...

Perhaps you would know how one can fix this?

I would suggest shape5 moderators take a look at the issue.

The JoomFish people already helped me out and I modified the shape5 code a little bit.
