Hello, I have two major issues detailed below in regards to the Socialize Template. I've followed everything I can find online in regards to the T3 Framework used, but to no avail.

ISSUE SUMMARY 1:
Less to CSS Error:

Compile LESS to CSS failed
templates/socialize/less/bootstrap-responsive.less
variable @gridColumnWidth1200 is undefined


STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 Go to Socialize Theme
2 Click LESS to CSS and/or Click dropdown and choose theme

RESULT:
Blue Error Notice appears with above error

Compile LESS to CSS failed
templates/socialize/less/bootstrap-responsive.less
variable @gridColumnWidth1200 is undefined


EXPECTED RESULT:
To work properly

ISSUE SUMMARY 2:
ThemeMagic "save" changes does not work

STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 Go to Socialize Theme
2 Click on ThemeMagic
3 Make Changes
4 Click Save

RESULT:
Preview reflects changes but changes does not reflect on the frontend.
Progress bar freezes about 55% (below "Back to Administrator and Minimize" buttons)

EXPECTED RESULT:
Properly save theme changes and reflect changes on frontend of website.

BROWSER:
Chrome

T3 Framework Updates:
The latest T3 Framework is at version 2.4.8, but the Installed version 2.4.5. says "Customized for (JomSocial.com) Socialize Template". If I updated the framework, will that break everything further?

That did the job! Both 1 & 2 now work.

The only issue I now have in light of uninstalling/reinstalling the Socialize template, How do I get all the themes back in ThemeMagic? It now only shows the Default theme, without all the preinstalled themes (i.e. orange, pink, green, red, etc.).

Hi, Adam-Lee.

In Thememagic is visible only custom theme. So in order to add predefined theme and be able to customize it:

1. Browse via FTP to: socialize/less/themes/choosen-theme-folder
2. Make copy of "variables.less" file
3. And save it to the same folder with changed name to "variables-custom.less"

From now on it should be available in Theme Designer.

Template developer already did it for you.

It may seems to be complicated at first look but this was done to keep compilator not hanging during compilating a lot of themes
