How can I create my own template was created by Baujahr70

Hi experts,

I try to make my own CB template, but I can't install it.

I copied the default-folder in components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates and renamed it
then I renamed the .php and .xml file and changed the xml-file and the classes in the php-file.

When I try to install the new template by the plugin-manager tells me "Installation successful", but the template isn't installed.
It appears in the plugin-list, but it says "files missing"

What have I done wrong?

regards,
BJ70

The XML needs to be adjusted (the plugin name and the plugin element on the file node as well as the file names in file nodes), file names (php and XML file), and PHP classes in the template PHP file also need to be adjusted. In most cases you should not need to override the PHP of the template file, but just need to override the CSS which you can do using the below functionality.
