Problem with creating a new Theme in ver. 5.6
Permalink
Hi,
What is happening with creating a new Themes in version 5.6? Is there something I don't know?
Like always I copied for example default theme from /concrete/themes to /themes. Then I changed name of the folder, description.txt and thumbnail.png. After that I just installed and activated in Dashboard this new Theme and that's it. But when I checked preview or I went to home page I got this:
"File /concrete/themes/domyhbe/default.php not found. All themes need default.php and view.php files in them. Consult concrete5 documentation on how to create these files."

:) I have in this new theme those files. In some reason it also wants them in /concrete/themes path.
I solve this in this way:
After installing fresh c5 with themes. I choose one of them and:
- I change description.txt, change thumbnail.png
- In database, in table called "PageThemes" I look for this theme I choose and change "ptHandle" and "ptName" field like in description.txt.
- then I activate another theme.
- In /concrete/themes I changed folder name of a theme I choosed.
- In dashboard I install and activate this theme.
PS I gave the same name of the folder like in description.txt and in field "ptHandle".

I think it means you need a page called default.php in your new theme as well as view.php as before.
I call my right sidebar pages default to solve this.
