Corporation Template - Trouble compiling less to css

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I am having trouble compiling less to css. On the template theme options, if I make changes and then click compile less to css. It gets stuck on an endless loop and will not save. I can successfully complete the operation with "Gazetta" template, just not on the new Corporation template.

I am running the site on WAMP local. PHP version 5.4.12. My SQL 5.6.12. Apache 2.4.4.

Hi

Do you see an error in the console window of the browser?

Is the Gazetta template on the same site?

My mistake...they are running on the same wamp server not the same site. I am having difficulty getting the Corporation quickstart package to load on the same site as Gazetta.

Hi

"... getting the Corporation quickstart package to load on the same site as Gazetta."

You can't load a quickstart into an existing site - it needs to be an empty folder to install

Same site. Gazetta works compiling less to css. Corporation does not.

Error message on console: "http://localhost/alphamountain/index.php?template=corporation&tmpl=ajax&function=ajax-compiler Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"

I'd be interested in the fix for this. I downloaded Corporation to test for a new site and loaded it on the same site as I have Gazetta - same problem.. It will save a new theme name but will not change the theme or any changes. Gazetta still works fine.

In the end, I decided to use Ascent2 instead of Corporation. Nevertheless, I was not able to figure out how compile to css properly with Corporation.

Hi Paul
I uninstalled gazetta template - cleared cache etc. Compiling still hangs. I'd changed nothing except the theme. It's a clean template install. Literally just tried to change the theme to corporate rather than blues to look at the available color schemes. It won't change. Just hangs and reverts to blues. The background image was blank on install. I tried changing that to inherit. It still hangs. I'm using Mamp pro. execution limit and max time etc are fine. Compiling works with gazetta just not this template. I'm using latest zen tools (1.1.8) with the template.Hope that helps.

Hi Paul
Update: Note that when the theme is changed the background reverts to blank and doesn't work again (hence I thought nothing had changed) so needs to be changed to inherit again.

Thank-you!

Happy New Year!

Thank you Paul :)
It's another impressive template. On your site example there appears to be 3 images making up the homepage background. I can only see the facility for adding one. When I add a single image it stretches the entire screen irrespective of whether I've toggled the stretch option or not. Is this part of the same issue or have I missed an option somewhere? There's only a reference to it in the top area of the home page configuration in your documentation.

Regards
Jan
