| JOOMLA! 1.5 TEMPLATE DESIGN |
Create your own professional-quality templates with this fast, friendly guide
using joomla! templates with html and css allows you to give a unique look and feel to your site, present a "fresh face" to your pre-existing content, ensure that your site design is consistent with your brand, and build a site layout that suits your unique needs. a quality web site is easily within your grasp using these cutting-edge templates. however, even experienced web developers need help to take their designs and turn them into flexible and easily maintainable joomla! 1.5 templates.
the release of joomla! 1.5 meant a radically enhanced template system that is very different from that of joomla! 1.0. joomla! 1.5 comes complete with the ability to create template overrides and customize "module chrome". the joomla! development team has also revamped the template process by introducing clean, understandable jdoc tags in place of the php function-based mambo-derived markup that joomla! 1.0 templates used. this book focuses squarely on the new enhancements to the joomla! 1.5 templating process and walks web designers through the process of turning a working xhtml and css "mockup" into a fully functional joomla! 1.5 template.
this well-crafted and easy-to-use book provides you with everything you need to create your own unique joomla! 1.5 template. it guides you through setting up a basic work flow for joomla! template design, debugging and validating the template code, creating drop-down menus and dynamic forms for your site, and packaging up your finished template in a zip file for users. at the end of this book you will be able to create a template that is effective, flexible, and presents a new look for the pre-existing content.
