Error when creating template... #5

Closed programmer6 closed 10 years ago

programmer6 commented 10 years ago

So I am not sure what the following direction for manual installation in the twbs/readme.md means: "Choose whether you want minified CSS, development CSS or .LESS files and publish your site."

I just deleted the minified css and less files for now but as this is already on the server I am assuming "publishing" of the site is not needed.

Anyway I added the front end theme then go into add the page template, when I click 'Create and go to add content' I end up with the following error:

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service 
this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your  
source file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: The file    
'/App_Data/Sitefinity/WebsiteTemplates/twbs/App_Master/MetaData.ascx' 
does not exist.

Line 3:  <%@ Register Src="~/App_Data/Sitefinity/WebsiteTemplates/twbs/App_Master/MetaData.ascx" TagPrefix="uc" TagName="MetaData" %>

This is a also a new installation of Sitefinity so it is possible I have some other configuration issue that I missed.

Hi Eric,

I think you skipped over the first line of the manual installation and forgot to "Copy the entire unzipped files inside your solutions /App_Data/WebsiteTemplates folder. Rename the folder to suit your needs"

Seems like you either forgot to copy everything into the solution or you've changed the folder name from 'twbs' and have not edited the .Master to change the paths.

If you look at the masterpage you'll see on line 3 a reference to MetaData.ascx. You'll have to update that line to match your foldername.

Lines 22, 46 and 76 also contain references to the /twbs folder for IE8 fallback, bootstrap JS and a custom scriptfile.

Let me know if that resolves your issue.

I mistakenly created my WebsiteTemplates folder on the same level as the Sitefinity folder instead of inside of it, I then set my path to the theme folder to the "correct" location when installing the front end theme. Everything seems to be working just fine now.

I would also like to express my gratitude for you sharing this project it is exactly what I needed.

So far my only wish list item is that I wish the template was based on an html5boilerplate/initializr build of Twitter bootstrap: http://www.initializr.com/
