Hi All,

I am a newbie to EZPublish. An associate of mine had their webhost install EZPublish, which they did. They were supposed to configure it to use the 'Corporate' template; however, they didn't and I am now left with the 'plain' template. Thus, we are unable to figure out how to switch to the 'Corporate' template from within the plain_admin page, perhaps it cannot be done. We are also unable to get the webhost to change the template to 'Corporate' for us, thus far.

How do we change to the 'Corporate' template?

I have searched the documentation and this forum for the solution, but I have come up empty so far. I hope someone has a solution as we are giving up hope.

With kind regards

Do you have access to the server?

If so, you can install the corporate templates and db over the existing plain setup.

The steps (and I'm working from memory here, so I hope I get it right - I assume you have a fresh install of EZ including the corporate template on a dev box)

- shut down mysql, and move all the files from dev /var/lib/mysql/corporate to /var/lib/mysql/plain on the prod box.

- move all the files from design/corporate on dev to design/plain on prod

- you'll need to make sure that settings/override/site.ini.append.php, settings/siteaccess/plain/site.ini.append and settings/siteaccess/plain_admin/site.ini.append have the right db and site names

- finally, move over var/corporate/storage from the dev box to var/plain/storage if there are any files you want to use from the corporate install.

I think that's it - if it doesn't work, let me know. I'm not sure what the policy in the forums is regarding commercial messages, but you might want to look at the ez hosting partners page to find someone who might be a bit more willing to work with you

Hello all,

I have ezpublish 3.4.1 installed and I cannot figure out how to change Plain template that I selected during installation to Corporate template. Chris, I cannot seem to find the dev var/lib/mysql that you mentioned in your solution to this problem. I am assuming this may be due to the version difference. can someone please help me to change my templates??

Thanks.
