Subsite's Template Question
«
on:
November 19, 2012, 10:13:51 »
I wish to use the same template (Delta) for both the mothersite and the subsite but, for the lattest, I want to make customizations in the layout (css, etc.).
Those changes are reflected to the mother site, too.
Is there a way, we say, to make a "copy" of the said template in order to keep layouts separated? If yes, please how?
Thank you.

I am not a expert but I believe I can make a suggestion because I faced the same issue some time ago.
Make a copy of the template in the same directory by giving it a different name (delta2, for example). Go to your sub-site and synchronize the new template. After that, go to settings and select the new template as the default. You can make whatever change you want on the new template.

Thank you @Hakan Gür,
I get this message during the synchronization:

Create a copy of template delta and name it something else, let's say "delta2".
Rename
delta.xml
to
delta2.xml
Open
delta2.xml
and change
<name>delta</name>
to
<name>delta2</name>
Now
zip
the whole template and name it something like
tpl_delta2_1.0.zip
Delete
the delta2 folder as we are going to install the new template the normal way.
Go to the mother site and
install
tpl_delta2_1.0.zip
Go to the sub-site and
synchronize
delta2 template.

Thank you @Datahell
I've literally performed the actions after your directions, but I still get the "Installation XML file was not found. Invalid Elxis package!" message...

Delete any existing "delta2" folder and install the attached one.
It should work fine.

@Datahell
Thank you, excellent!
I'll check the differences in order to see the changes, for my knowledge
