great tips and tutorials!

Great Job! I was just about to ask if anything like this exsisted. 

Very nice, clean, clear and informative  . Bookmarked.

F A N T A S T I C !

Thanks very much.  Always nice to have a reference sheet on hand.

@TheSaint, I agree - a resource of Joomla-oriented useful links (PHP, CSS, etc) would be very handy.

Cheers, Adam. (dStorm)

maybe we can start something like a http://www.holyjoomla on the same lines of http://www.holycss.com

Shouldn't we re-title this thread to Joomla?

Had a similar discussion in the Dutch forum,

I agree with you, to keep it simple especially for new members, rename it to Joola!.
However there is nothing wrong with Mambo (Our core developers designed it!)
The fact that the other party is anoying, should not mixed by the fact that is was a great app!
and the tutorial is still valid for "Mambo 4.5.2.3"

My Opinion is to keep things clear rename it!
but with mixed feelings...

What is the official JOOMLA! point of view on matters like this?

I suspect that during the like of Joomla! v1.x the words Mambo and Joomla will be interchangeable. With the liklihood of a code base rewrite for Jooma! v2.0 that may mark the point at which Mambo becomes history, with one rather large BUT ...

... we don't want anyone who is looking for a CMS and reads about the award-winning CMS called Mambo to not be able to make the connection with where its development team have gone, do we?

Exactly, lester, which is why I don't agree with the practice of using $ambo. I use mambo with the lowercase 'm' deliberately and try to mix mambo anf joomla! in each post. Gives the search engines something to chew on...

This is an excellent piece of work and extremely useful.

Any chance that the developers and third parties could work to same or similar levels when putting documentation together? Possibly there is an opportunity to create a "library" where documents are written in plain language (whether it be English or French etc translations) and accompanied by appropriate images. Any documents that don't then meet a "standard" initially can be updated and improved upon by a "fourth" party to ensure "compliance".

Agree. I already had an idea of what our site needed so modified Solarflare II to give me what I wanted - snake designs down both sides and more.
I'm still working hard on beating this design into submission (and fully CSS) but so far it seems to work and so far has just enough difference to lose the sameness.

While I don't think too many here are in the designer level of the folks that post to CSS-ZenGardens I do believe that we should be able to come up with some good designs that break away from the more standardised templates. I for one would be very glad to see a similar collection be developed within Joomla! so creativity can be expressed and recognised.

...and those two links help with 1%. 

FYI - Your Site Is Not Valid: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... 6%2F210%2F

I've seen those fantastic tutorials, but i have a question, if someone can help me out ! In the standard template we have user1 and user 2 modules ! I need to put another 2 modules in the bottom ? something like this
user 1 | user 2
user 5 | user 6
user 7 | user 8

Thanks 

nominate for sticky!

this is so key and what i haev needed for ages

now, who's going to update it for Joomla Please?!?

in case anyone doesn't find them they've moved to here: http://www.joomlart.com/content/view/44/210/

PS Thanks!

added to bookmarks.

very nice.  easy to understand, short and to the point. 

push ourselves to the edge ? edge of what it's just a page with words on it. Ten or twenty years from now, it will still be just a page with words, I would hardly refer to it as art.  People are only interested in reading content not looking at the fancy borders and images   I also don't believe the fancy design of a site contributes to any better search engine listing, it's nice to display a decent design but no need to go overboard.  CMS is the most important and Joomla templates are enough to get a site up and going.

Hmm.... I don't agree.  Why don't people all just use the default template that came with Joomla? 

Just see how many templates there are for Joomla.  People want some unique design for their site.

kewl nice tut there!

very nice tutorials thanks a lot

Excellent.

Also, if you're into css and template design chris pederick's web design extension for firefox is fantastic
