template problem

[Haic]

Hello,

I have installed a mambo/joomla template and i've got a error in the administration template

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/elxiscms/domains/elxiscms.nl/public_html/administrator/components/com_templates/admin.templates.php on line 142

Do you know what the problem is?

Seems there is a problem with the template's XML file. Is this the only error message you see? Can you send me the template to check it?

I think I have solved this issue.
Some Joomla templates contain files which may have the word "xml" in them. If this is the case then this line from admin.templates.php:

$xmlFilesInDir = $fmanager->listFiles($dirName,'.xml');

seems to select these files as well which I dont believe it should. As such when it comes time to execute this line:

$xmlFilesInDir = $fmanager->listFiles($dirName,'.xml');

and determine if the file is a valid xml file it fails.


Hope this helps someone.
