I am trying to replicate the esport demo on a new site and although i managed to install the template there are a lot of things missing in terms of modules/plugins and the public site has no close resemblance with the actual esport demo. can you please tell me if there is a way to do some kind of bulk installation of the templates and also replicate menus and overall structure? or alternatively what steps should i take to manage to bring it as close as possible to the demo?
i do not intend using vm but instead products will be promoted as k2 items so i need some guidance how to do the replication with this constraint.

thank you in advance!

Easiest way would be to use quickstart installation package rather then normal template package.This is same way you install a joomla package and will look like our demo site when installation finished. This way you won't have to add modules etc but only to change their contents.

If you want to continue the way you are doing now then I suggest you install a quickstart package in a subdomain or subfolder and compare settings and options. This would take some time to accomplished.

If you have issues while doing above please open a separate topic for each issue and we will reply and help you.

See you around...

as you wisely noted the 2nd approach takes time...the problem is that there are products in the old version of the site as k2 items and even if i go with the quickstart i will have problems migrating them to vm...i will check if i can make it by replicating the quickstart otherwise i might start from scratch...:(
