v1.1

  • This update makes the Grid2 template compatible with v1.1 of the Zen Grid Framework.

Manual Update

  • Depending on how much you have customised the template this may be easy or a little tricky. The 1.1 version of the template is a relatively large rewrite of the core files so in most instances it will be easier to install the latest version and reinstate the changes made to your template.
  • Update 1.0+ version of the zen grid framework to v1.1+.
  • Make a backup of your current template. I find the best way to do this is to rename the folder on the server to something like grid2_old
  • Install latest version of the template via the Joomla installer.
  • Main files that will be affected are the files in the layout, so if you have made any changes to the layout folder files then you will need to go through and address those changes.
  • Go into the grid2 template administrator and reinstated the layout and other template settings you had used previously or follow the instruction below for updating the params.ini file:
  • The current settings of your template can be saved by restoring the backup of your old templates/grid2/params.ini file.
