LEMMY K - Weaverpixel, Stacks 5, Foundry 3

I installed a LEMMY K template from Weaverpixel. It requires Stacks 5, so I purchased the update, installed, and did the registration. It is built on Foundry 3 (Elixer is out of business?). I don’t know what’s up?? Help!

When I launch RapidWeaver Classic and the Lemmy template, it says, “The stack is currently not installed. You need to reinstall to use it.” What’s up?

You need the template from Weaverpixel as well as RapidWeaver, Stacks 5, and Foundry 3.

If you don’t own Foundry 3, you won’t be able to use the theme.

@Weaverpixel is currently on an extended vacation and doesn’t always have reliable internet access. However, I’m sure he’ll get back to you as soon as he has time and a stable connection.

Thanks. I do not have Foundry 3 from before they closed up show. UGH! I’ll look for other options. Thanks.

Sure I’m biased but…

You might want to take a look at RapidWeaver Elements instead. It doesn’t rely on external frameworks and everything is built-in and actively maintained. No surprise requirements, no missing stacks, no dead plugins.

It’s a different workflow, but a much cleaner and more future-proof one. Once you’re up and running, it’s far less fragile than the old Classic ecosystem.

Thanks, Dan-
Not being able to edit just a couple of very basic lines of code in my current Classic template really discouraged me and has sent me searching for another theme.

Can you suggest any Elements themes that are custom-tailored to a musician for videos, gig dates, streaming links, music playing in the background, images, videos, etc.?

Hi @ScottL
As @Pegasus wrote, the Lemmy K template relies on the Foundry 3 framework, which you cannot purchase any more. Elixir ran out of business. I am not really promoting my templates based on Foundry 3 but still have them available for free for people which are still on this framework.

I would recommend to switch over to Elements. As @dan said, it is the much more modern platform and should serve your needs for the years to come.

Maybe a good Message for you, I have already started to convert Lemmy K to Elements. The name will probably change as it will be much more flexible but it will contain everything you see in Lemmy K. It will come in January I would guess - more to the end than the beginning.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Markus!

Hey Markus,

Out of curiosity, are those Foundry3 themes available to anyone? And if yes: where can I find them?

Cheers,

Take a look at the Artist project. (Free in the Elements store)

Hi Erwin,
They are still listet in the Rapidweaver Classic Marketplace. Follow the download links and they lead to the pages on weaverpixel with the durch download.

Cheers, Markus
