Can't get any templates to work with 1.11

[FacebookSignInPlease]

The other day I installed and used 1.10.3 and got everything to work just fine (had to tweak templates per instructions on page from where they are downloaded) then yesterday I saw that a new version of CMSMS was released, so started over from scratch with 1.11.1

I tried a couple of the same templates from this site (ElegantBlue, Mobility, Opposed) and they now all give me a similar error:

Code: Select all

OMG! You broke this page.
Error: at line 73 in file C:\xampp\htdocs\sewingpage\lib\smarty\sysplugins\smarty_internal_write_file.php:

Message:

unable to write file C:\xampp\htdocs\sewingpage\tmp\templates_c\18*****4.module_db_tpl.MenuManager;Mobility : minimal_menu.php

Is there something I need to change with the menu manager to get them to work now? I like the theme "Opposed" so am most interested in getting that one to work.

Any help appreciated.

The error message is very obvious 'unable to write file'. Fix up your permissions.

Three people in one day... wow.

Sorry I didn't include more information and should have. I'm running xampp on Vista. There's no way to change the permissions (there's no CHMOD or anything like that on Windows). That's why I was stumped.

I'll try installing 1.10.3 again and then going through an upgrade to see if that makes a difference. If not, then, oh well.

I have xampp on windowsm and if you go to the folder and right click it go to properties and you may see read only and other 'permissions'...

Thanks. I had this problem with a script once before. I could never get that to work. I tried all kinds of solutions, searched xampp and everything until my eyes bled.

It's funny that 1.10.3 with it's tmp and templates_c works fine yet 1.11.1 doesn't. <shrug>

I did the 1.10.3 and then the upgrade but got the same write permissions error. I was hoping to build a site locally and then upload it to a web host in one fell swoop. Looks like I'll have to put a temporary page on the front and work on it live on-line in the background. Thanks anyway.

It looks like you have "cache menu template" enabled, try disbling it and see if it helps...

Change the name of you menu template : Mobility : minimal_menu
into
Mobility_minimal_menu
Don't forget the tag {menu with this new name
