I tried to install a new theme (local xampp installation) and I followed the steps below but it didn't work. The error message I got is at the end of the comment. Does anybody know what causes the problem?

To install a new theme, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Check the official SilverStripe website for free themes.

Step 2. Once you find a theme you like, download it to your computer.

Step 3. Upload the theme package to the "themes" folder inside your SilverStripe directory.

Step 4. Extract the theme package.

Step 5. To set the new theme, you should edit the _config.php file located in your mysite folder.

The line you should edit is:

SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');

If, for example, you wish to install the wine theme from http://www.silverstripe.org/themes, after you upload and extract the theme package to the "themes" folder, you should open mysite/_config.php and change:

SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');

to

SSViewer::set_theme('wine');

Error message:

After you installed it did you flush your cache - visit the url http://www.yoursite.com?flush=1

Yes I did: http://localhost/silverstripe/?flush=1 but it still doesn't work. What else can I try?

Hmm a couple people have raised this now. Try this workaround

in sapphire/core/SSView.php line227 change

return file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier));

to

return (SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier)) ? file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier)) : false;
