"JInstaller :: Install: Cannot find Joomla XML installation file": unable to install Joomla templates

When I try to install Joomla Templates, I get this error:

 Warning JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

Which file?

I am using Joomla 3. I downloaded several Joomla templates from the torrent and they all display this error. What is it? This may be the case for all the templates I downloaded. Is this because the Joomla 1.5 template will not work with Joomla 3?

How to install these templates? I see a file called templateDetails.xml .

Note:

Here is templateDetails.xml : thexml.html

I found something while watching.

Just change the XML file in the templates folder.

change the 'install' tag to 'extension' and change the version to 2.5 or higher ... and it worked for me.

The step-by-step process is explained in the link below.

Is this because the Joomla 1.5 template will not work with Joomla 3? Answer YES . You cannot use Joomla 1.5 templates directly in Joomla 3. Since the structure of the Installer file has been changed from Joomla 1.6. You need to upgrade the Joomla 1.5 template to a newer version of Joomla. To do this, see the link below:

Update Joomla 1.5 template to Joomla 2.5

Basic template development

Hope this helps you.

Sorry, at first I didn’t even see the xml file.

Well, the XML file was for the Joomla 1.5 template and therefore will not work.

I updated it so that now it will work for Joomla 3

For JOOMLA 3.0

It's so simple unzip mod_as_scroller.zip, and then in the mod_as_scroller folder find the joomla 3.0 folder and set as_scroller.zip so that there are no more errors

Usually, when this happens, something is wrong with the XML file. If you made any changes, try to think about where these changes were and find the problem with the XML file.

Problems may be:

  • There is no start or end tag. Closing tags are easy to skip. Count them, make sure there is an opening and closing tag.
  • Duplicate tags. For example, it is easy to add two labels or showons , especially if you copy and paste.
  • Space before XML opening tag
  • No closing tag fieldset
  • There is no closing extension or config tag. Easy to remove if you replace the file

You can easily use such a tool:

Which helps you find problems such as the lack of opening and closing tags.
