Hey. I'm really new to using Joomla. I have installed a template. but it only works on the
homepage. Any other pages on the site just have white backgrounds and weird text. The site is:
http://theavamovement.com User: guest Pass: joomlahelp There is also a few little questions like
what does this do, and what does that button do. I know some of my questions a probably answered in
big guides or whatever, but I'd really appreciate if someone could add me on MSN/AIM (who has
joomla knowledge) and just explain some things like on my level. Because sometimes gu...

Hey guys, I haven't used Joomla before and was wondering how easy it is to customize. Is there
a way to re-code customizable php features into a Joomla page? I was just wondering how flexible
it is and if it is a good tool for someone who already knows how to make a webpage(php) from scratch
by text editors. Is it just software for people who want to make web pages but can't code?
Please hit me back with your thoughts, Cheers....

This thread is for disscusing Mambo Open Source CMS (MOS). Post any links to Mambo related sites
(template sites, module sites, or whatever mambo). If you have tutorials for creating own templates
post here. I personally need some tutorial for using CSS when creating Mambo templates, and some
reference to all the classes, divs etc (e.g. mainmenu, button...) of modules (menus, polls etc)....

I am going to be working on a CMS site using Joomla. However I don;t want to go out and download a
free template and I don;t want to pay a web design to do it. I was wondering how easy it is and if
any one has experience or knowledge on this subject. i am currently researching tutorials and what
not, but before I dive into this project - how much will I have to learn? I already know CSS/HTML.
Is this a project that will require alot of time and dedication to begin? For now I am just going
to work on setting up the system and then content. Then I will work on a template ...

Hi, I am looking for a ready made site like mambo or phpuke, anyone know anyhting faster and lighter
to use. Moving from What Is...? to Webdesigning Tools and Software Discussion . Topic title AND
its description are very important when posting a new topic. Entered description. ...

Can someone, knowledgeable on Joomla! pleeeease help me asap! I uploaded Joomla and went
through the install. Three red flags showed up, two of which I ignored because they come up on just
about every site I do and don't affect the end product in any way but one of which was Safe
Mode: ON. Even so I don't think that this is causing the problem. I continued with the
installation and all seemed successful until I tried to view the site which was missing all images
(not even a red x where they should be) and there seemed to be no css styling. I log into th...

Hi Guys, I'm helping a guy re-design his site who currently has a version of mambo installed.
What i want to do is make a copy so that i can fiddle around with the layout without stuffing up the
site. I also want to upgrade it to joomla but thats not as much of a priority. Any ideas on how i
do this? My idea was to just copy the files installed in the mambo dir into a new folder. Will this
work? I can't imagine it will be this simple....

Well since i have had Trap 17 hosting servie i hvae been trying to learn how to use and work with
Mambo and Joomla. I have to say I finally have gotten the hang of it. Im learning how to manipulate
it more and more, especially the skining of it. I definately have to recommend it to everyone out
there if they are not using it. It is great, Its easy to use and once you read up on it its easy to
change to your settings and personal likings. There are just a few things id like to still learn,
so I have been on their forums reading and trying to learn new things.. but i...

I have my website running on mambo open source. I've found it quite easy and friendly to manage.
Well, no doubt it is the the best CMS (Content Management Site, or something like that). I have
also found lots of useful sites which distribute free mambo stuff: modules, components, mambots,
cool templates and upgrading; but I still look for a great site which gives REALLY COOL (and I mean
REALLY COOL) templates for mambo sites. If anyone knows about some of them, I'd thank for the
help /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Che...

im seeing alot about Joomla around the forums, so i figured i would check it out in the cpanel and
see what all the hype was about. After looking through all the information in the cpanel as well as
checking out all the links given in there for more information, im still left wondering, what the
heck is it? im adding alot of different features to my site, so if it is something worth adding, id
like to check it out, only...i want to know what it is first :-\...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a way to make Mambo/Joomla themes? It seems a bit
confusing to me... Thanks....

I came across yet another CMS called CMS Made Simple (I'll just call it CMSMS from here on). Of
course, it is free and open source, and it is very compact (its latest stable distribution is 1.89
MB zipped, Mambo's is a lot larger, like 8 or more MB proably). Any page loads quickly, and are
clutter free. Part of CMSMS's features are its templating system, which works pretty
differently. In Mambo, there are the index.php template, and its accompanying template_css.css
files. In CMSMS, there's the template (stored in the DB as far as I know), and a whole bun...

If there is anyone out there who is familiar with this CMS and knows about their template design,
can you please speak up. It seems like no one at Joomla.org ever answers any of the questions I
pose. So if at all possible help me, or point me in the right directions that would be most
appreciated. I am currently using a header image that is 850 x 150 and I am using a variable width
template. The page looks nice in 800x600 mode, but go to a higher resolution and you get a nice
white gap on the left hand side of my header image. I was wondering if I should use a spacer im...

I would like to know how to use Mambo? Can you add pages to it? I see this frontpage and content
management, and I am once again lost! I need to know several things. What will allow me to
build a complete working site that is free, that DOESN'T look like a blog, and that can add
multiple pages to it. Is it possible to use a template? How do you even install a template. I
know, a lot of questions and I hope this is even in the right area. Please help so I can find out
what to do. Here is what I want: A program that will help me build a full working site....

website , so that people can search the available data on my website...How i can do it , any one

Joomla asks on step 3 to enter a URL and path for the site. For the local site, not for the install
directory, as aguy on Joomla Forums said to me. But im not sure what the root folder is in the path
directory, couse Joomla creates a custom path for what it thinks it should be, and it says this:
/home/username/public_html/ this is what joomla says, and theres also a message that states that
this might be correct couse Joomla detects automatically the right folder... But in an ftp client
it shows the root directory of my account as follows: /public_html/ This direct...
