Hi,
I just bought stylemart and was trying to customize it with Theme Magic (one reason why I bought a template which is using T3 AND bootstrap). But an error accured:
--
JError: Template Less structure was not compatible with T3 compiler
--
Have I made a mistake or is there any solution to this problem? Please find attached a screenshot taken during (not working) compiling process and the message which occurs if I was starting "theme magic".
Thanks in advance..
Nico

Hi,

How possible you were able to see the LESS and ThemeMagic buttons in the backend?
Those were supposed to be disabled. StyleMart doesn't use LESS and ThemeMagic features of T3. (but the MegaMenu is there though)

Our template has around 4580 CSS lines just in the virtuemart.css file (no need to mention to template.css and other template CSS files).
If we have used LESS and ThemeMagic features to make the CSS files customizable through backend, it would take a year to develop the StyleMart and the price for StyleMart would be more than $2000 for end-users.

Of course we would have used the ThemeMagic for changing the basic things such as, font color, background color or menu items etc.. that's not a really problem; but then we thought, what might receive some complains about the limited ability. Something like "These are not enough, where are the other rules.." So we decided to completely eliminate the ThemeMagic and go with the old-fashion manual CSS way.

(without the ThemeMagic, using LESS also doesn't make any sense, so we disable that as well)

If you want to make some CSS changes on the template, you should be using the help of Firebug. It is a perfect tool for css changes.

By the way if you look closely to the product details of StyleMart:
www.flexiblewebdesign.com/Joomla-Virtuemart-Templates/StyleMart

and take a look at the screenshot:

There is no LESS and ThemeMagic buttons. This is how we advertise the StyleMart.
