Default theme deleted 😱

[LaCollision]

Hi!

I've deleted the default theme… and now, I can't compile my app: there is a crash in DEV mode when compiling my app, with no error message 🙀

I think it's because there is no more theme with ID #1...

What can I do?

Thank you!

As a quick test..... create a new Theme, and set it as the default Theme for the front end.

Then create a second new Theme and set it as the default Theme for the ACP.

Then try to compile.... does that then work?

If not, please file a ticket to support with details.

No luck unfortunately, I tried everything 😞

 

Here is still the error when compiling my app:

 

It's on my dev server, which is not available from outside… So opening a ticket won't be of help I suppose.

 Is there something I can do to recreate the default theme ?

Thanks!

If you're IN_DEV, the acp theme doesn't help. Try re-uploading the IPS DEV files then build each app. If you're in designer mode, might be different here. 

Turn off DEV mode, create a new theme as instructed above...

Hi,

For people who could be in the same situation, I've found a workaround:

1. Only let 1 theme in your ACP, for front-end and back-end.
2. In your database, edit core_themes and set this theme ID to 0 (note the previous ID for this theme, for instance 8)
3. Still for the core_themes table, set the autoincrement to 1 for the ID column
4. Create a new default theme in the ACP. It should have the ID 1.
5. Go back to the database, and reset the ID of your theme to its previous value (8 in this example)

Everything is back to normal 🤗
