Great resource.  Thank you! 

Thanks! I sure hope this is going to be a part of the standard documentation...

Grtz,

That's awesome dude, Thanks.

Me being totally new to Joomla! and this being my first post on the message board, I have to say......I love you ftumind.

You have definitely made my life easier!

Very Nice! Thanks

Hello! I have a newbie question on styles. I want to change are all of the Heading styles, but where are the Heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc) defined?

  1) They are not in template_css.css.
  2) They show up in the content editor (I use TinyMCE) so they must be defined somewhere.

Thanks! - Mike

HTML has it's own 'styles' - H1, H2, etc which have a default value.

Some style sheets specify them - others don't. If you want to change them in your style sheet, just put them in the template_css.css file. The following is a sample from one of my templates:

h4 {
color: #FF9900; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;
}

h5 {
color: #FF9900; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;
}

Just letting you know, that links aint working nomore...maybe time for an update :D

Great stuff anyway

Edit: Links have now been changed in the first post.

I read this tutorials it is helpfull . Thanks,

But I have some questions about modules position, I searched about it but can't understand it again.

You have written in tutorial about the -3 ); ?>  modules position.
what is different between ( -3 +  -1  +  -2  +  1  ) ?

If somebody can explain it to me I will be happy.
Because I have finished my template and I want use correct and usefull module positions. My temlate is totaly 2 columns.

Thanks

this is explained in a tutorial that has been mentioned in this thread

Evening all

Am another recent Dambo > Joomla! convert, and loving it! Just wanted to ask if anyone happens to have either or both of these tuts on file somewhere that they could either mail to me, or post somewhere?  it seems with the 10,000+ visits this threads has had, that we've managed to destroy all of ftumind's bandwidth for the month....

Drop a link in here if you have these somewhere, or mail me at the address in my profile.
Thanks up front.

Oh, and an advanced Happy New Year to the entire Joomla! Community - may 2006 bring much success and happiness to you & yours 

Thank you very much for all of your very nice comments!
I have upgraded the website and some change has been made. All the tutorials links have been updated!!!!

thank you for joomla/mambo css. this is going to be very helpful 

Thanks a l00t for the tutorials

Keep the good work

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3 

awesome this is just what i needed i was sick of using other peeoples templates =]

If I knew about this site earlier, it'd make my life so much easier. Thanks very much for this link!! 

Hmmm cool nice link! thaniks keep it up

i had the hardest time registering for your site. I never got the confirmation email to slabaugh.org email, but i did when I used the gmail addy

I think CMS with Divs should have a tool to be created like Framesets for frames... where you create the divset, and then target them like frames...  i think creating templates, and all that is much harder than it needs to be, there is a lack off good tools to make them really easy to code... also a way to stub content so that the site looks live. And we don't have to phpit to see how it will look

Does anyone know of such tool? 

You can use a local server set up on your personal computer to edit and preview your site.  JSAS is a solution with Joomla! built in.  http://jsas.joomlasolutions.com/

You can also install something like WAMP or XAMPP to create a local server solution.

XAMPP  http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html

WAMP  http://www.en.wampserver.com/

I know i know... the previewing is not the main problem... Dreamweaver also has live preview.

What i mean is we need a theme API and good tools to work with that API... i don't know if that is planned for 1.5 but many other CMS systems and portal system support Theme APIs

You can check out what is coming up in 1.5 at the dev site:
http://dev.joomla.org/&nbsp;

You can also find out more about the API here:
http://api.joomla.org/

What i mean is instead of writing templates like we do now, we would use a special markup language (there is probably a standard for that) where we woudl write templates in a more structure and clear way:

something like this:

to define a layout we would have:


 
     
     
     
     
 


to change region we would simply have assign a new component:
   

my point is i don't get the way joomla does this and would like to have a easy way to work with reagions and populate them with components, and wend needed to repopulate those components (target them), in a easy way like framesets and frames.

Looking at the documentation for 1.5 i don't see anything like this?
