Is there a way I could install the SiteShaper_Shape5_Corpway_25 without starting from scratch? Because on the how to install video one has to start from scratch, creating database and all that. I currently have a site running with a database which contains contacts but just want to change my current template with that of Corpway. Tried to install through Exension Manager the file SiteShaper_Shape5_Corpway_25.zip and got this feedback (JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file). How can I go about this issue?

The siteshaper contains the Joomla distribution with the template and modules included fully configured.
Unzip it to your hosting root and open the URL. Then you get your new site configured as in the demo site of shape 5.

Till now I also haven't found a guide to install the template on a current site and add the modules and set the same configuration.
Maybe it's an idea that Shape5 can add this functionality.

Hello,

The Site Shaper is the only way to get the Demo Content. You would need to use the Template - Current and manually add the content / modules directly if you already have an existing version of Joomla. If you want to copy the Demo Content the best way would be to create a separate database and sub folder and install the Site Shaper to that to reference off of.
