Problem with installing a new theme
17 April 2009 at 7:53pm
I'm fairly new to SS and am trying a few things to see how they work.
I've downloaded and installed a new theme, Artica, and have a few problems/questions.
In the C:\wamp\www\silverstripe\themes folder I have the following sub-folders
artica
artica_blog
artica_ecommerce
artica_forumI have amended the _config.php file to
SSViewer::set_theme('artica');
I flushed the database and the templates.
The Home page on the site works fine
The blog sections seems to work perfectly
The ecommerce section uses the new theme except for the product details which are still in the blackcandy theme.
The check out page does not have anything but the header and text; no cart or formsThe diary module does not work at all, I just get
[Warning] file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty
GET /silverstripe/my-diary-2/Line 277 in C:\wamp\www\silverstripe\sapphire\core\SSViewer.php
Source268 /**
269 * Used by <% include Identifier %> statements to get the full
270 * unparsed content of a template file.
271 *
272 * @uses getTemplateFile()
273 * @param string $identifier A template name without '.ss' extension or path.
274 * @return string content of template
275 */
276 public static function getTemplateContent($identifier) {
277 return file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier));
278 }
279
280 /**
281 * @ignore
282 */
283 static private $flushed = false;Question: Have I installed the theme properly, ie: all the folders in the right place?
Is there any specific sequence for installation of a theme? ie Install modules before themes or themes before modules? -

You have got the correct idea, some themes do not fully style all the modules though, I'm not sure if artica is meant to have a custom ecommerce style (it could just be defaulting to the default in that case) as for error - I guess it should check for a file before running file_get_contents().
You could try edit that file (file name and location in that error) to something like
return (SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier)) ? file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier)) : "";
Though this error has come up alot recently in the forums, I haven't noticed it in 2.3.1 but it could be the module templates are not defaulting back to plain styles if the theme does not include ALL the files.. hmm

Thanks, it worked by editing the file as you suggested.

Willr,
Just downloaded and installed 2.3.6. The exactly same problem occured after adding a new theme (wine) to the themes dir and changing the _config.php file.
Your fix solved the problem however. Shouldn't this be reported to the Dev Team?
Thanks,

Well I am on the dev team
. This has been fixed as part of 2.4 AFAIK. Sean did some work on this 11 months ago.
Are you using 2.3 or 2.4?

I'm using 2.3.6, so I guess I'll just wait for a stable release of 2.4.
By the way - will the upgrade to 2.4 be very annoying from 2.3.6 or 2.3.1 (got another site on 2.3.1)?
Thanks,

As with any upgrade it depends on how complex your application is that you have built on top of silverstripe. If its a simple site then it will be fairly easy. I just upgraded a site this morning and just needed to rebuild the database and change a couple methods.
We have been trying to pad out the notes on http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=upgrading:2.4.0 to make it easy.
If you're running modules then it is likely you will have to upgrade those to the daily builds.

Ok, got it.
Thanks Willr, I guess I should wait till it is all stable including the couple of modules I'm using (blog, image-gallery).
Thanks for pointing me to the doc as well - surely this is useful.
