Suggestion for creating a new free template for Joomla 4
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 5:37 pm
Joomla! 4 is coming soon. We all find the time long to be able to use it. Today we are in beta 5. The next version, which should be beta 6, will include the new Cassiopeia template meeting the latest A11Y standards and incorporating a new menu (Metis Menu).
This template is very good. But it seems to me incomplete and especially difficult to tame for new users. I take the example of the logo which must absolutely be in .png to accept the blue background which can only be modified by coding the CSS.
This is why I want to create a template for the Joomla community. Accessible to all for free and can be used simply by the template admin. As for the format there is nothing to think about, it will just be bootstrap 5.0 only with no color and format changes. For example: we can discover all the templates already online> https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/
Pictured here is the blog view example.
At menu level, only the default menu should be used in the documentation. to be closest to bootstrap 5.0
For the layout and name of the modules, I think we should keep the Cassiopeia names and locations, to allow easy switching from one to the other.
Then to make the template easily customizable and adaptable to everyone, I am thinking of creating a very complete admin allowing us to easily change the colors, primary, secondary, alert, etc ... In fact I am thinking of all the bootstrap colors : root in this on the three sections of the template. If you know one of the Joomla templates, I think it works very similar to the Ja-Simpli template> https://www.joomlart.com/joomla/templates/ja-simpli
It is a template that can be configured without a framework and therefore very solid and requires very little updating. I believe this is an important element for the stability of websites. This template allows several layouts, landing page, magazine, blog, etc ... But also several color choices and customizable layout. For example to put the logo on the left, in the center,… to choose one or more menus…
But now, I'm not a developer. I tinker with the CSS a bit and that's it. That’s why I’m looking for help. So if like me, you like Joomla, and you want to share your experience, join me on my github page> https://github.com/Magnytu2/Marie-Louise
For information, I have already found a name for the template. A French name, because I am French and because there is a story of logic. More explanation> https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-lou ... t.&text=Le% 20r% C3% B4le% 20de% 20la% 20marie, dor% C3% A9% 2C% 20color% C3% A9% 20de% 20diverses% 20fa% C3% A7ons.
Thank you for your participation in this project to start 2021 with a smile and for the community.
