Template Management

A template controls the overall look and layout of a site. It provides the framework that brings together common elements, modules and components as well as providing the cascading style sheet for the site. Both the front-end and the back-end of the site have templates.

When Joomla! is first installed several templates are automatically included. You can find many more templates at other websites. Some are available without charge under various licenses, and some are for sale. In addition, there are many developers available who can make custom templates. You can also make your own template.

Templates are managed with the Template Manager, which is located on the Extensions menu in the back-end (administrator) area of your site.

Installing a template

Log into the back-end of your site (www.your-site.com/administrator/) Click on: Extensions -> Extension Manager You see the page "Extension Manager"…

Log into the back-end of your site (www.your-site.com/administrator/)

Click on: Extensions -> Extension Manager

You see the page "Extension Manager"

From here you can install your Templates, Plugins, Modules, Components and Languages. You have three options:

  1. Install from Web - (select an extension listed on the Joomla! Extension Directory)
  2. Upload Package File - (select a package from your PC, upload and install it)
  3. Install from Directory - (enter the path where the package is located on your webserver)
  4. Install from URL - (enter the URL to the package)

Option 4 does everything for you, your environment needs to be properly configured to allow this. Option 2 requires you to download the extension to your PC. Option 3 requires you to unzip and move the folders/files to your webserver. All options require the webserver to have write access to the webspace.

Here, we choose the second method: Upload Package File

Select the package from your PC and click the button "Upload File & Install"

Template style is a feature introduced in Joomla 2.5 that allows users to assign different template styles to individual menu items. By default, Joomla! assigns a template style to all menu items upon installation. A yellow star indicates the default template style in use. A default template style can be partially or completely overridden by assigning different template styles to the desired menu items in order to obtain a different look for their respective pages.

A template style can be assigned to menu items one of two ways.

  • Template manager Extensions  Template Manager
  • Editing a menu item under Menus  Menu Name  Menu item

This is the fourth time I have engaged Igor to work on some legacy Pascal/Delphi software. It's always a positive experience, so I don't even bother looking at anyone else. Highly recommend!
