Hi

With joomla 1.5 all You need to do is to rename the template folder name and the name in the template's xml file. Somethimes a direct path inside template files (thee are programs which can track it fast).

With joomla 1.7 this is a little harder, because also all occurences of template name needst to be replaced in database.

Renaming the template is considered as customization and we do not support that, but if You want to hire me to it please just mail me.

Thank you for the prompty reply, i have actually done the same on j1.5 successfully, i was trying out in j1.7 and did not workout, also since i knew there will be a variety of instances the template name has to changed, i did a complete grep and renamed all of them at once, including the sql. then after the site was broken. wondering. And definitly i will mail you if the requirement is pushing. Thanks for it and happy new year ahead.

Hi

Just one more tip for sql. Do not replace it in sql installation but in a table after installation. This has something to do with a template styles.
