dlewis23 Posted May 12, 2008 CID Share Posted May 12, 2008 You need to install zlibary on the server. Its a compressor http://www.zlib.net/ The best thing to do is not upload templates through the web script it self. But to upload them directly too the server over FTP then manually install them.

dlewis23 Posted May 14, 2008 CID Share Posted May 14, 2008 Look here on how to install the templates manually http://www.joomlaresource.com/Content_Management_System_Tutorials/How_to_Joomla/Manually_Installing_Joomla_Templates/ As far as zlib how did you install it? Its probably not compiled with PHP or apache. What kind of hosting is it? Dedicated, VPS, Shared? And what are the specs. OS? any control panel?

Well first find out if it is a dedicated server or not. Also find out if there is any control panel. If there is like cpanel, LXadmin, plesk, they have auto installers for things like this.

dlewis23 Posted May 14, 2008 CID Share Posted May 14, 2008 you need to first ssh into the box. Most likely you can't especially if it is shared hosting. then to install do this https://argon.sao.nrc.ca:28443/nmr/online-docs/html/nmr-setup-guide/node11.html Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22501-need-help-with-website/#findComment-271051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted May 14, 2008 CID Share Posted May 14, 2008 ok that wont work my user is not "root" Then you can't install zlib. you will have to do everything manually. Or if its not shared, then find out the root pass. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22501-need-help-with-website/#findComment-271053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted May 16, 2008 CID Share Posted May 16, 2008 You need to find the place in all the template files where the line is you want the links. Since they split it up into many sections it shouldn't be too hard too find. Then you just need too put the code of the array of the menu in there. It may or may not work because the template file may not be loading the right scripts too pull in the meny so you may have to fix that too.
