Thankyou for this clear consise guide..
Awesome tutorial dude!This was my first time trying something like Joomla, doing sql databases and it worked perfectly, i had a problem at the end but all i had to do is copy the code and save it on a notepad with the name “configuration.php” and upload that via ftp to my root folder and then delete the installation folder.Now im gonna try some stuff from YOOThemes and Rocketthmes they have some pretty sweet stuff.Thanks again.
tnx man.. l love your video..
Thanks so much. good tutorial. u just solve my problem. but i have one question. is there any problem if my setting of Global Register and Display Error are NO during pre-installation check?
another question alex, do you have a tutorial regarding some changing the banners and those sort of stuffs? and how can I preview my site in my localhost?
the templates that come with joomla are very limited in terms of tamplate editing through the template’s admin: almost every change would have to be coded in css/php/html, even a simple banner/logo change (yes I have a tut video up for that) But, this is exactly why I personally like the rhuk template (nothing fancy and I easy? to customize through code). But, like I said, other templates make is WAY easier to change banners and possibly background images/etc.
I dont know why localhost isn’t working for you. I havent had joomla on xampp or wamp server for over 2 years so I can’t remember but i? think i remember it works fine. always try 127 . 0 . 0 . 1 first (you probably did). I think i remember skype messing it up if it was on, or maybe another web server (iis installed?). And look into whether your host (windowssystem32driversetc host ) file is correct.
Yep, and you should be able to point a domain (if you have one) to your ip and run it like that, but then, of course, your comp always has to be on, plugged in, and it sucks your processing power/bandwidth if you run it like that. I like the ease of just paying for hosting. If you ever want to move it to a hosted site, use JoomlaPack. Template editing goes like this – edit as much as you can through the templae admin panel. each template has different options.
If you need to do anything more serious, like make new positions, you can edit the template’s index.php file directly. CSS is usually an amalgamation of several files, with layout.css (if it exists) usually being the most important. You an edit the css through the template admin, but i always just use ftp.
yeah, editing through CSS, HTML, & PHP gives me a headache. I just found out that I need to put these codes manually…and it’s really confusing. Now I have to study how PHP works and those variables. OMG! Another busy day coming through…but anyway, thanks! You helped me a lot!
