brveljkovic Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 hello, I have copied my site, to dev folder to see how it will work after upgrade. Now, after I upgraded to latest version, I have lost my settings. How can I bring back my custom theme and all the settings to upgraded site? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastwolf Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 restore the skin folder to /skin/ you must have wiped it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brveljkovic Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I did, and in the admin dashboard now, in layout settings >>skin settings>>frontend there is no available skins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastwolf Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 None at all ? are you what did you chmod the folder to be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brveljkovic Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I tried 755 and 777 nothing. Also I noticed that config.xml file is not present in any of available skin folders. But that was a case in live site - so everything is the same now as with live site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastwolf Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 something is missing, I'd do over, download the latest CC, upload it, restore skin from backup. If this is 5.2.11, I'm doing a backup myself to prep for it but the fact that even the default skins aren't showing up at all is weird. There are config.xml's in all my folders though man, they should be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brveljkovic Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 ok, when I remove cloned skins folder and put back default skins folder it works with default skins. But when I copy my custom theme and put config.xml in it, I see skin in backend but got blank screen at the frontend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayz1 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 You should ideally create a new folder for your live skin and edit the config.xml file to reflect the new name (e.g. change kurouto to you new skins folder name) <uid>[email protected]</uid> <type>skin</type> <name><![CDATA[kurouto]]></name> <display><![CDATA[Kurouto]]></display> <version>1.0</version> to <uid>[email protected]</uid> <type>skin</type> <name><![CDATA[mynewskin]]></name> <display><![CDATA[MyNewSkin]]></display> <version>1.0</version> then clear the cache in Maintenance > Rebuild This way your new skin won't be overwritten when you update.

brveljkovic Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 did that already, didn't work. The strangest thing is that on live site, I cloned for testing, there isn't a single config.xml file - in any of the skins, not custom not default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
