Very good tutorial! Now it makes more sense to me.
I’ve designed my first Joomla template and it’s all starting to work now.
I got one question, can you perhaps send me the javascript code for the menu (or an explenation of how I should build one)? I really don’t know how to do this correct for joomla and I need a similar dropdown menu.

Wow. I am very impressed with your screencast. I’ve been all around the net searching for a tutorial like the one you have here but have come up short until now! I am looking forward to more. Any idea when another one will be posted? Also, what’s the status on the bundle?

Thank you and great job!

PLS PLS PLS come out with a complete tutorial like this but more comprehensive one in the very near future. I have been searching all over for some good video tutorials on creating templates in Joomla. All seem to fall short in some area. Hopefully the ones you are creating will allow the whole process to be explained. From converting the html and css all the way thru install the template and all of the module, menus and articles admin management necessary to fully roll out the type of template that you can purchase. I am just picking up Joomla and I love what I am seeing so far and so many of my clients want to be able to update their own content so this seems like the right fit for me. However its unless if I can convert their design to a joomla template. Any idea when we can expect something?

Sounds like the references to the CSS files and the like are pointing to the template folder.

Still working on getting that stuff assimilated for the tuts.

Great tutorial Rick! You made it look so easy… I have a static template developed for a client who then wanted a CMS, so I thought ‘great!’… followed your instructions (I hope, to the letter) but it all turned to crap when I went to upload the .zip file to the Joomla! environment. At this stage the second screen (when you hit the ‘upload’ button) went blank! I was wondering if you have any ideas as to what I may have missed?
More detail would be great! Have you been able to expand tutorial at all yet?

Thank you x1000 for this tutorial.

I was struggling with Joomla until I saw this. Fantastic.

Just one problem, though. I followed your instructions to the ‘T’, but when I went into Template > Edit, I couldn’t see any options. I wanted to set the main menu (similar to your horizontal menu) but couldn’t, because there wasn’t any place to set the ID for the navigation. The message being “Menus: Cannot assign default template.”

So I haven’t been able to move further. But getting this far itself made my day. I await the series. :-)

Thank you again.
