CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello all -

I am a newbie to CMSMS.. I have got my CMSMS installed properly and the default theme is working well (www.mbaxchange.com/cmsms)

However, I tried installing a custom theme that I downloaded from

http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/index.p ... eturnid=63

Its readme instructions says the below, which I have followed. However, upon using the theme I get the 500 - Internal server error. Can anybody help guide me where the issue could be? thanks

1. Unzip
2. Copy following files to root of your CMS Made Simple installation:
* images folder
* script.js
* style.css
* style.ie6.css
* style.ie7.css
3. Copy-Paste content of file "vertical_menu.html" to new menu template with name "vertical_menu".
4. Copy-Paste content of file "horizontal_menu.html" to new menu template with name "horizontal_menu".
5. Copy-paste content of file "cmsms_template.html" to new layout template.[/size]

Since the 1.10.0 release, the compatibility is broken with older themes.

Which theme have you installed exactly?

Hi - this is the theme I am trying to install

http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/index.p ... eturnid=63


I was not aware about any compatibility break?Can you tell me any theme which works with the latest release so I could see atleast that works.. thanks !

Well, I'm afraid I cant tell you which theme is compatible (they all should be, with just minor changes).

But, I've took some time and tried this particular theme - it works just fine.

But, I haven't used CSS files, as instructed. Instead, I've done things properly, created a new Style and copy/pasted the CSS code in that style.

Then I've created a new folder in 'uploads' folder, called '19011'. In that folder I've put the entire 'images' folder and the 'script.js' file.

After that I've created all the necessary Global content Blocks and everything worked just fine. No 500 error or nothing... If you want, I can send you an exported XML theme file. Just send me an email address in a private message.

Many many thanks if you could send me the xml file !!. .thanks

I have just sent you a message in private

thanks again
