Looks good, but...

1. I always preferred more horizontal space for articles - the two right columns (Main Menu & Poll) together look too busy.

2. Appears the breadcrumbs are broken here - http://muffindcc.com/demo/whyld/index.p ... &Itemid=37 & here - http://muffindcc.com/demo/whyld/index.p ... &Itemid=41.

Maybe just my browser but I have noticed this using the default Joomla 1.5 template on my testing server also.

3. I like the PDF, EMAIL, & PRINT icons.

4. Prefer the headers without the dark background, perhaps a simple line underneath.

Clean!

1# Each column is fully collapsible so if you wish for horizontal space, you can have it. Is that you were referring to?

2# From a post I read from Jinx, this is an issue with RC2 but may I ask which Browser?

3# Cheers

4# Are you referring to the Content Headings, if so, I can probably create a Template Parameter for that

That you for your comments

I like simple designs and thanks

Looks great. Good job.

Nice, clean and professional!

Great job James Will this be updated as the time goes along?

You should check the searchbox. In Firefox it renders abit stranges..

I like it!  Don't suppose there is something similar for 1.0.13?

Cheers Over the next week, I will probably make some minor changes but most efforts will be on some more documentation.

Could you clarify the Firefox issue with the searchbox? It looked fine to me. However, do take into account that the bottom row (User4-6) have module styling which is taken into effect on the searchbox and due to its size, it looks a bit funny.

Thanks Ricky Actually, I did start out with 1.0x then moved to 1.5 about 2-3 weeks ago. The 1.0 version ca be seen at http://muffindcc.com/demo/test1 - Obviously, it has not been updated in 2-3 weeks but if anyone wanted a complete 1.0x version, I can do that. However, keep it mind, it will not have all the features that 1.5 offers.

What I miss is a some demo material. Just in the RT demoes. Please make your demo shine

Hi

I could use something like this. Does it support "suckerfish" dropdowns from the CSS?

I've manage to get this working in my existing template, but I'd prefer not to doo the additional work again as this is not really my area of expertise.

Appreciate the work you have put into this one.

Thanks

If you check my orignal post, it has links to demo material that I have already written. It's contain in the menu item Documentation - I just renamed it for clarity

Obviously, it will not be of the same calibre as I have to manoeuver around the sample content. I have not changed any settings for the sample content on the demo, just add stuff within its settings, this being 2 extra menu links and sub pages. Therefore, you get to see the template demo in the same light that you would on first install.

The short answer is no.

There are no additional menu structures. The menu bar itself is just the Top Menu module which has been restyled. I have yet to research into advanced menu structures with 1.5 but should be shortly.

I just downloaded the nightly build and do not get the error? What situation does it occur under and cheers

change line 9 to title; ?> and not "item" maybe

Cheers Jean-Marie. I used the Nighty Build poll module instead and then made my minuscule changes to it. I updated my template package. Would you be so kind and check?

Fine now.

Anyway the poll works only when sef off for the moment.

Cool, cheers for checking it out. I'll take another look at the login module to see if thats been changed since my original version as well.

looks like your database is down

Damn hosting issues - its back now

I think this template is very good as it has a lot of useful positions to use... it's hard to choose the winner 

At least we know we are going to have lots of good free 1.5 templates available when its finalised

Yeah, and I'm going to continue to make them! I'm totally into this now :P BTW, I forgot to mention I really do like your template! You've done an awesome job I just think the top right links (I'm guessing it's the latest news module) needs to have more ... maybe a heading or something? Just looks a little out of place.

Other than that you've done a great job!

Cheers MiCCAS. That module is suppose to have no header, was suppose to be for a slideshow or graphic. Might have a toggle for that Toggle, Toggle, Toggle

lol that'll be good :P

Yeah, I can see how that'd go there.. that'll be alright then

Source has J! logo.

-> Adding Contentheading style param

for me is ok, now but I'm not so expert in template for saying, stop. downloading but in thi moment I prefer, maybe, testing by your site demo...

I am not sure what you mean?

in short, I've stopped testing your template, IMO yours is ok! No important bug displayed when surfing the site
