Artisteer

Override Tips:

One work around to help build more accessible Web sites using Artisteer is to use the Beez Template Layouts included in Joomla! 1.5 core. To learn how to do so, see this Joomla Wiki document entitled How to override the output from the Joomla core.

Another alternative is YooTheme's overrides, which are available free. Easy to follow instructions can be found in the download.

If you want to create your own Template Overrides, see this Joomla! Wiki document Understanding Output Overrides in Joomla! 1.5 for an in-depth and easy to understand learning resource.

Template Installation:

Artisteer creates a standard Joomla! template .zip that installs in Joomla! like any other Template

  • Team EaSE Article: Beauty is more than skin deep!

    Image

    When shopping for Joomla! templates, users very often make their choices based entirely on the look and feel the template presents for their content. A user visits the demo pages of a few template manufacturers, looks around and picks a design to represent the content of a new or existing Joomla! web site. What is often overlooked are the ways in which a template is more than skin deep. A template is much more than a web site design: it actually defines the way the web site elements such as HTML, images, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript are sent to the web browser. Have you considered the impact of the these elements to your overall user experience?

    Joomla! is the ideal software with which you can build any website: business, corporate, education, government, portals etc. At the same time it is one of the easiest content management systems to set up, for many reasons, and good for the purpose of better rankings in search engines too.

  • Team EaSE Article: .htaccess and robots.txt files

    Image

    Last month, in our article SEO, Joomla! and your Template we explained that before visiting the pages on a web site, search engines (for instance Google and Yahoo) check for the presence of instructions about the web site on its server. These instructions can be given by two files that are distributed with Joomla! and are normally found in the top level of your Joomla! installation: htaccess.txt and robots.txt.
