Hello, first I would like to congratulate the administration for this excellent template.
But I was wondering if there is way to upgrade to version 2.5.x. If the update would have problems with some of its extensions? How I can update my Joomla to 2.5.x version?

Sorry for my English, use google translator.

Regards,

The Joomla 1.7 site shaper should directly update to joomla 2.5

If you have issues please view this tutorial

You will need to ask your hosting company to enable this setting for you.

Well, this problem is solved.
Solution: Create php.ini file in the website directory and type: allow_url_fopen = On

Now I have another problem, I have to modify that file so that positions "login" and "register" does not go as S5 Box?
I've looked tutorial, but does not say where or which exact file I have to modify.

If you remove the login/register text from the template manager back end it will remove the links on the template. These links are designed by default to show up in the S5 Box popup.

Then simply just publish a default login/register box wherever you would like on your website.

The Login/Register text is not a module position. These are hardcoded into the template.

You can remove these text links by just leaving the fields blank in the template manager.

In the S5 Box Module you can change the menu assignments to show on whatever pages you want.

This would require custom coding.

You can publish the default joomla login/register modules to module positions on your site however instead of the S5 Box Popup when you click the login/register text. You can also add your own new module positions to the template wherever you wish.

You can find instructions how to add your own module positions in the advanced section here. Be warned it requires adding code to multiple files.

Shape5 does not offer custom coding services such as adding new modules to a template. You can use our Hire a Coder section or freelancer.com if you require custom programming.

We only offer support on the templates as they appear in the demo. However, the documentation to add a new module position is in the article I provided you.

Quote
1. To add a new module position to your template you can simply do so by using the following code:
<?php s5_module_call('yourposition','notitle'); ?>
"yourposition" would be replaced with the new module position you would like to add, we'll just call it "yourposition" for reference.

2. Next you'll need to open up the templatedetails.xml file found in the template?s folder and look for:
<positions>
You will then need to add your new position here so in your Joomla admin area you can select your newly added module position:
<position>yourposition</position>

3. If you want to make this new module position collapse you simply wrap it with <?php if (s5_countmodules('yourposition') { ?> as follows:
<?php if (s5_check_module('yourposition')) { s5_module_call('yourposition','notitle'); } ?>
