Is there an easier way to install templates.

[MarcelC]

I have installed some templates doing:

root@server [~]# wget http://download1.parallels.com/Site.../Night_Club_pack2-4.5.0.20081222-1.noarch.rpm
--13:53:55-- http://download1.parallels.com/Site.../Night_Club_pack2-4.5.0.20081222-1.noarch.rpm
=> `Night_Club_pack2-4.5.0.20081222-1.noarch.rpm'

root@server [~]#

The above way is very timeconsumming and not a pleasure to do. Is there a way to install ALL templates at once ?

If not, how do I know which templates are already installed and don't need to be installed again ?

What I do

Hi, I'm very new to sitebuilder. But what I just did.

1)Downloaded all templates and mods from Paralles in .rpm

2)Now I uploaded all these files (.rpm) to a temp directory on my server.

3)Using putty, SSH. Went to the directory where I uploaded them to.

4)Typed in "rpm -Uhv *.rpm" and watched the magic.... But your not done..

5)Now you have to tell Sitebuilder they are there. By using the command sb_config --update_templates I also used sb_config --update_locals

Bammm, all done in one big shot. I also noticed that you have to login your SB control panel and assign or de-assign they templates and mods per user plan..

Hope this helps you.. I will be posting more very clear to understand post on my own forum www.websitesin10.com and I also invite others to do the same. A community of SB users I think is very well needed.

It is also possible to install templates with autoinstaller. Just run it, select templates and perform installation.

as Dmitry suggests use the autoinstaller... but to be clear he does not mean the updates from within plesk...
rather in ssh: # cd /usr/local/psa/admin/bin, then # ./autoinstaller and read & follow the prompts
