Directions

I have completed the installation of GavickPro News 3X at: http://www.lrsuntimes.com/setup/gk_news ... /index.php. Having gotten that done I need some specific directions to bring this template to life. I would appreciate identification of specific step by step instructions so I may make progress. I am aware that everything is installed but I'm at a loss on how to configure the template, and how to cause the url to change to just www.lrsuntimes.com?
Any directions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

If you want to run this template on the lrsuntimes.com domain, then you should upload the quickstart files directly to the public_html catalog on this domain. The structure should be prepared for case where address: lrsuntimes.com/installation returns the joomla installator.

Currently most probably you have unzipped the quickstart package and uploaded the whole catalog gk_news_quickstart_J3x instead of its content. You should upload this content directly to the domain root catalog (public_html). Of course before it please clean up the catalog from other existing website files.

Installation of quickstart was followed to the point. I am still getting the following when going to my www site: http://www.lrsuntimes.com/gk_news_quick ... nistrator/ and http://www.lrsuntimes.com/gk_news_quickstart_J30/. I have followed the directions. how do i correct this?
More importatnt, how is this templated configured. I'm obviously reading the wrong directions. Is there not a clear step by step processs that can lead a newbie through install and configuration.
I realize that there is placeholder materials in place but these must be removed in order to proceed. Where are these instructions? Is there a video tutorial that can get one through the first steps? Is there a service than can be provided to get one through the first steps? I do appreciate any help I can get.

In this case please try to follow this tutorial: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... -joomla-3/

Ok. Thanks I'm on it. If I have my bearings I come back and close this link. If not, I'll have my hat in my hand begging for some help. again thank you.

I have installed just as this manual describes. see http://www.lrsuntimes.com/gk_news_quickstart_J30/ is this not where I should be? My position is the same as the diagram in the documentation.
How do I go about configuring the News?? documentation/videos will be great???? If there is some way to see this would be great!!

You have to move all files from lrsuntimes.com/gk_news_quickstart_J30 directory one catalog up.

Completed your instructions but had to use a different approach that shown in documentation.
http://lrsuntimes.com/administrator/index.php permits me in the backend but pageview has the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/paradise1/public_html/modules/mod_weather_gk4/mod_weather_gk4.php on line 1

Please advise on correction of this error.

Please advise on how to configure the site?
Thanks for everything!

Please try to reupload the modules/mod_weather_gk4/mod_weather_gk4.php file - most probably it was corrupted during copying.

reuploaded original file, still have same error!! Please help!!!

Please download the attached file, unzip it and then please upload the unzipped file to the modules/mod_weather_gk4 directory.

downloaded and un zipped. using Filezilla I uploaded the attached download file and got the same error. Please advise.

It is just impossible - please send me an FTP access to your website using the PM message.

sent ftp per your request. Did you get it?

Thanks

I didn't received any message with FTP access so most probably you have sent it to the wrong moderator.

How do I get that information to you???

You have a button "Private message" under my avatar and profile informations - please click it and send me the FTP access.

Please ask your hosting for enabling the error display for your page, because I cannot enable it using:

Code: Select all

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

additionally there is no errorlog file where can I check the errors.

I've fixed the weather script - it was transformed to one-line code what caused your bug, but still I see blank page, so most probably other files also are corrupted.

Should I re-do installation? If so fine. Will contact hosting to enable error display.

First of all please try to ask hosting for the error display.

Sorry, have downloaded new quickstart and have completed re-installation. Please advise or point to directions on setting the template in full operation mode.
Thanks for everything.

As I see now page is displayed correctly so you should replace the demo content with your own ones.

Documentation please!!! video or written info someplace to get me started. I'm the newest of newbies. I read the new beginners but best I can get is I have to remove several files and there is nothing that gives me clarity of where and how to begin. Just point me in the right direction, please!
Thanks for everything

In this case you have to read the oficial Joomla! Documentation: http://docs.joomla.org please remember that our products are dedicated for the people who knows how to use Joomla.
