Hi im looking for a Joomla developer for my business. All free lance web developers please send me a message.

thanks

[DankieDickie]

Well done, Sir. You made everything very easy to understand. Going to check your website now.

Dear Norm, Great Videos, You have the right methodology and know how , I have created many , many sites with static HTML and Your explanations on the Dynamic creation of the actual page one see's on a browser was a great clue on how to manipulate and tweak to my liking my website. I was looking for an index.html where to tweak my website. it is a different approach, and much better for groups of people that are going to contribute to a site. Good Job Sir, and Thank You!!!

Hey this is great, just what I needed! BUT!

Do you have an updated 1.6 template to share?

If not please make and post for us n00bs.

Thanks! Appreciate your tuts! Keep it up!

[normdouglas]

@psymeta Nope... and I don't intend on using 1.6 anytime soon. 1.5 is so much more stable and more supported.

1.6 is not production ready yet in my opinion.

thanks this tutorial is great! im trying to run your joomla 1.5 template in my 1.6 version but its having problems previewing. am i doing something wrong or do i need to change the templatedetails file?

[centarkarlovac]

@DJbvir There is difference between 1.5 and 1.6 so the template for 1.5 or just a skeleton will not work in joomla 1.6

awesome tutorial - thanks

[Cyberman2911]

Hello, where can i download it?

[DJNeats]

Not very good - first two minutes said nothing relevant. If you could fit this into a two minute focused tutorial it would be awesome. I think you should really say at start that you need some web design experience - 9 minutes is a long time to figure that out and that you need to watch another tutorial!

[jackylt]

RESPECT :) this is awesome, I like how you brough it to the point ;)

Great job ;)

[ashbrauer]

I love you Norm Douglas! I thought it was fabulous! Thanks so much!

[ashbrauer]

I love you Norm Douglas!

[hbjapsurfer]

just goto: h t t p : / / docs.joomla.org/Tutorial:Creat­ing_a_basic_Joomla!_template

and learn how to create the skeleton

[DJNeats]

@hbjapsurfer right on. Much more easier.

[VsimponsV]

How to make my website public??

[NJRocks281]

a webhost duh...

[fullprooffed]

I thought it was a great tutorial - he wasn't really everywhere, sometimes you forget stuff and have to go back - i mean it's free so I don't expect him to rehearse and do multiple takes. This is what I have been looking for for the past 3 hours so thanks guy.

[StrongbowJava]

etwas durcheinander, aber trotzdem konnte man dem "roten Faden" folgen.

[SheevaGirl]

I can't find the skeleton template either. I can't find it anywhere else either. The Joomla site doesn't seem to have it either.

[LDDCreations]

Go to the original url he used in the video.

[katevastiras]

i can't find the zip filee..

I guess you had removed it?

[dutchy131]

[drwatsondotexe]

[plebblerina]

I followed your tutorial but i cannot get the Template to display. Did I miss anything out? I downloaded your file as well.

[akosicasu]

good day sir! do you upload the joomla template skeleton in joomla administrator

[Zee4Zed]

I get an error message when installing the template in Joomla:-

JInstaller::install: File '/homepages/3/d229426790/htdoc­s/tmp/install_4a0a06f05019c/cs­s/template_css.css' does not exist.

[NetreachWebDesign]
