Introduction
This tutorial will aid you in the creation of simple Joomla!
templates
without the use of web page creation software such as Dreamweaver and
FrontPage. All templates will be created in xhtml
transitional
format. If you do not have any prior html or css knowledge
you may
have some difficulty with this tutorial. I recommend www.w3schools.com
for help with any
questions as
this is not a html or css tutorial. Also this tutorial is for
templates to be used with Joomla! 1.0 and
above only.
One thing to note about this tutorial is that I use images to show you
the code. I do this so you will have to type it
out. In
having you do it this way you learn faster by typing the code yourself
rather than just simply copying and pasting.
Examples
There are two example templates included in the zip file that you can
download here.
The first example (default_template.zip) is an empty template for you
to start with. The
second example (finished_template.zip) is a very simple template with
both the index.php file
and the template_css.css file commented heavily so that you can refer
to them both for help. This will be the end result of this
tutorial.
