XML Templete Deletion

Post by drattray »

I'm a newbie to CMSMS. I would like to know how to delete an xml template I uploaded with the theme manager. I tried deleting but when I try to upload the same template I get an error saying "the template already exists".

Does anyone know how to completely delete a template so that you can do a reinstall of same template?

two choices:

1. delete (or rename) everything added by the theme when you imported it. would have names prefixed with the theme name ("Theme : resource name") -- there's templates, stylesheets and perhaps menu templates. then import the theme again.

2. open up the xml file in a regular text editor and change the theme name. change the text between and under . then import the changed xml file and it will install as the new name.

Before I got your post I deleted all the templates except for one. Now when I tried renaming the xml file then re-import it, it does show up in the theme manager but I cant select it to use. Nor can I select any other template? What is going on. Will I have to reinstall CMS made simple? Help? Thanks so much for your help!
