Can't change theme #405

Closed Ricardosgeral closed 6 years ago

Ricardosgeral commented 6 years ago

how do i change the themes?

so far i wan't able to change then!

what i've done:

  1. download the theme (e.g. astral)
  2. copy the astral folder into pico folder
  3. change the config.php.template inside config folder and change "default" by astral

after this everything is the same

what's missing?

PhrozenByte commented 6 years ago

config.php.template is a template. Rename it to config.php 😉

Ricardosgeral commented 6 years ago

even so, it's not changing anything PhrozenByte

Quoting from our website, Pico's sample contents and the header in the config/config.php.template:

You can override the default Pico settings (and add your own custom settings) by editing config/config.php in the Pico directory. For a brief overview of the available settings and their defaults see config/config.php.template. To override a setting, copy config/config.php.template to config/config.php, uncomment the setting and set your custom value.

Did you actually uncomment the config variable (remove the // at the beginning of the line)?

<?php

$config['theme'] = 'astral';
