So for a new project i've started experimenting with those modern (long scrolling) page layouts and suggested themler to propose a website. Now before i go too deep into customising the content, just for testing i've uploaded the generated look WITH themler and content included. There's multiple pregenerated sections on the layout with text and images.

A few things noticed right from the get go

  1. Some images are missing while others are present
  2. NO CONTENT ADDED on the cms level (joomla), no categories, no articles, nothing
  3. How do you go about adding new pages, linking them to the menu, modifying the buttons. Do i really have to add all content (per website) from menu's, articles etc INSIDE themler, then export "with content"? in order to get the content on the actual site?

Hello Wim,

Importing content requires separate action to be dome in Joomla admin panel: clicking on Import content button. Please, refer to this article in order to import content https://answers.themler.io/articles/72521/import-export-content
Here is how horizontal menu works https://answers.themler.io/articles/5516/how-to-create-horizontal-menus-in-joomla
This is helpful if you create long scrolling page https://answers.themler.io/articles/5582/one-page-design-in-joomla

  1. Getting "Request failed: 403" on both install content plugins and import content. Even tried deleting and reinstalling template to effect
  2. No issues making a hmenu, that wasn't the question
  3. Dont think that article applies to the problem

I see buttons, that i can also add via "Insert > button" which gives me exactly 4 options to configure. Text (on the button), link, to an url, Name and if it needs to be an actual submit button. The image on that third link mentions HTML and adding a div, but there's no such option and the layout doesn't match the current menu setup in themler

1) 403 error means that something is blocking Themler. It can be security add-ons in the browser or on the server with your site, 3d party plugins, proxy, firewall and sometimes internet provider. Try disabling all 3rd party plugins, add-ons in the browser (security related, ad blocks).

3) Adding a "div" tag is possible inside HTML control (Insert -> HTML):

Anchor links (links that are added to the part of the content on same page) added to the menu would work only if you use HTML with a div ID or add ID to the section.

I'll have to investigate 1. In the meantime, I've got other sites where they are installed that way. Can I 'extract' them somehow through FTP zip them up and install manually? Can you send me separated zips to install manually? Or can I find them in the themler desktop folder somewhere

This is a brand new install. Only 2 extensions installed. Akeeba backup and admin tools. Disabled admin tools, still no dice. Site is on SSL (by let's encrypt) just like all the others and the certificate is valid

Edit, if i click "edit template" i get

[code]
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /templates/movi/app/index.php on this server.
[/code]

Yet there's only 1 account, the SU.

Worked fine in the past. (Up to J3.9.12) Maybe because of themler being to old. As stated near the bottom here

https://answers.themler.io/questions/129682/suddenly-unable-to-edit-existing-template

However on the 2nd page it may have given me a clue. Yup, that was it. There's something in the akeeba admin tools "security enhanced .htaccess" file that prevents the request from working, even WITH admin tools disabled. I'll run this by them

Sorry for the delay.

In fact Akeeba may cause 403 error.

As for other site, yes, you should be able to access the site via FTP, find theme folder and open it with Themler desktop.

I fixed it with the help of akeeba. The problem is that themler tries to call a php file directly from within the template folder, instead of going through joomla's "index.php" like it should and is the proper secure way. Just needed to tweak something in the .htaccess file to manually allow direct access to the template's subfolder.
