No skins after installation

Hello everyone,

I installed the (2901) leatest version of mojoportal. I had a more than 10 years old version. I changed my provider so I decided for a new (and clean) installation of the CMS.

The istallation process was fine, but the CMS did not show up any theme (eccept framework).

I read the page :

https://www.mojoportal.com/docs/upgrading-skins

But I also checked the original installation files in /Data/skins. There were no theme files. Therefore I took my old themes from 2.3 (or 2.4) and copied them into

/Data/Sites/1/skins in the server.

In admin settings I could see the name of the themes , but during preview (and also in case of application of the theme) I saw the statement :  "If you're seeing this page there is a problem with the layout.master file of the site or page skin."

Some part of the theme are accepted and some other were as if the would exist. In alternative, you can tell me where can I found 2901 compliant themes?

Is there anyone who could help me?

Thank you in advance

Alessandro

Re: No skins after installation

Hi,

We stopped shipping skins other than "framework" with the mojoportal releases a few years ago. You can download some skins from the mojoSkins project or you can upgrade your old skins. You'll need to follow the "upgrading skins" documentation to make them work though.

Thanks,
Joe

Thank you Joe for you kind feed back.

I stopped managing mojoportal for ten years and I stayed out of this matter (while mojoportals were working). I will dive into this new matter of fact.
