Is there any way to install a theme in a child site without necessarily install the theme on the parent site?

forgot a important think! my slave sites templates folder are not symbolic link !

If you don't have symbolic link available, most of the extension will not work properly.

When the Symbolic Link is allowed, the parameters in the template can be for example

domain = {site_url}/multisites/{site_id}
Deploy dir = {site_dir}
Template folder = {site_dir}/templates
Action in file/foler for "templates" = Special Copy


If Symbolic Link is not allowed, you can try using the parameter "Template foler" field but most of the extension may search for the "/templates" directory instead of the value that is store in joomla.

when I try to install a theme on my site slave jms tells me I must first install the theme on the parent site!

my doubt is not about setting, but if there is a way where I can install a theme on a site slave without his necessarily be installed on the parent site!

I repeat that previous reply.

Template folder = {site_dir}/templates
Action in file/foler for "templates" = Special Copy

I used {deploy_dir} and it's also working - or?

After I played now for three days with multisites, it's getting better and better for each hour - but you have to learn a lot and test a lot
