Principally_Speaking

I'm saying that the copy I downloaded did not have it. I do not know if the package available for download has been updated. You would know if you have it by looking at the list of plugins in the Administrator Plugin Manager for Simple Image Gallery Plugin. Or look in the User Guide section of the published site. If you find a bunch of images at the bottom of the Edugeek Template page (for example), it is properly installed. If you see {gallery} etc. it is not properly installed. Reference my previous post for download location.

FWIW, the copy of 1.5.3 that I downloaded on June 3 did not include the Simple Image Gallery plug-in. It is available at JoomlaWorks | The Joomla! & Mambo Professionals

Is the psd file for the eg_red 1.5 template available? Please tell me where I can find it. I want to do a colour variation.

I did this 3, 4, maybe even 5 times. It did not work. I kept getting an empty database. Find a server running MySQL 4 and try to install. My guess is that you'll experience the same problem. Editing the install sql file as mentioned above fixed the problem for me.

FWIW, after removing the DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 throughout the joomla.sql file it worked properly. It appears that I'm up and running now.

Still no joy! I wiped the database, files and folders, redownloaded the installation package, and uploaded it. Clicking the install sample data button during installation works perfectly and gives me Joomla sample data. I tried populating mySQL with Edugeek data, first changing the table names from #__ to jos__. First, I got this error... So I removed that line. Now I get this error... So I'm wondering if this is a mySQL/PHPMyAdmin version issue. According to the joomla.sql file... My server reports...

Thanks for that clarification. To be clear, when installing should I click the button to install the sample data? That is to say, is the sample data the Joomla sample data or the Edugeek sample data?

Okay, sorry... I should have added that I did download another copy last night that had the administrator directory, etc., uploaded it, and still had the problem. In any event, I'm downloading another fresh copy, wiping the files, folders, and database, uploading a new copy, and running the installer again.

It's a remote site that I'm using for testing! I haven't rerun the FTP transfer to check, but everything appears to be present and I had no error messages on upload. I did rerun the installer and still encountered the same problem. I tried to import the SQL data from joomla.sql using PHPMyAdmin and got an error #1193 - Unknown system variable 'SQL_MODE' I'm going to wipe everything and start over. Any chance the download is incomplete? I downloaded a version on Thursday or Friday that was completely missing the Administrator directory!

Yes, I tried install sample data and got the Joomla sample data and not the Edugeek sample data. I tried renaming the joomla.sql file which seems to contain the Edugeek sample data, then I got an XML error but still no content.

For some reason, the demo data isn't loading when I install. I wind up with a blank database. No errors are reported when creating the database.
