Just wondering about the new look

Hi everyone...
I need a little help.
I have just upgraded my website http://www.2409.dk fra 0.10.4 to 0.11.2 and it went well.
However I'm wondering why I do not have the oppotunity to use the templates/style sheets that is on my other site www.ttheill.dk (where i did a clean install)
Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

Thanx in advance
ttheill

To avoid potentially breaking existing templates and stylesheets upgrading from previous versions does not install the new default templates and stylesheets (as it could overwrite custom settings that you have made).

However, with the Theme Manager module you can install templates and stylesheets. There is only one problem, the default templates/stylesheets are currently not available for download anywhere...  :-\

That must of course be sorted asap, but as you say you also have a site with a clean install you can easily export the default themes from there and import them to your other site.

1. Download and install Theme Manager for both your sites.

2. On the site where you did a clean install, in Layout -> Theme Manager, export the templates and stylesheets that you want to use on your upgraded sites and save them on your computer with a name you choose.

3. On your upgraded site, in Layout -> Theme Manager, import the theme you just created. Voila, there you go!


Theme Manager will be included in future CMSMS versions and we should of course also put the default templates for download somewhere...
