I have installed joomla and the default template .....http://www.anantvikalp.com/temp/ Now how can i futher proceed to change the layout theme and add my contents to it ,Can any one guide me Thanks Keerti
i would suggest you go buy and download a ebook or buy a book. Just play around with the site. Did you load the sample data when you first installed it should give you plenty of examples already .
Why install the old version of joomla 1.0? Go with the current version in 1.5. Joomla is going to 1.6 soon. Install the current version and I'll walk you through changing the theme. Only only version 1.5 though.
Hi friend, You have installed joomla modules now when you open administrator and after you can anything change by this admin panel which is installed.
Hi Keerti, I found the best place to start was with the Joomla for Dummies book. It is very good taking you through the basics of how to set it up and change things. Also the Joomla site has forums and also an extension directory for new things for your site. I would suggest that you build your site on your local host first instead of live on the web as you can test new things out to see what they look like and if they work for what you want to do. Once you are happy with the site you can then upload it to the web. One of the previous comments about using 1.0 is correct as 1.5 has lots of features that 1.0 didn't, but you can use the legacy 1.0 plugin to allow 1.5 to use 1.0 templates and extensions, but you will need to play about with it as not everything for 1.0 will work with the plugin. The other thing to take into consideration is what OS you use. I use a Linux system and I have to use version 1.5.1 due to compatability issues with Lamp (local host) and also my version of Linux. It is best to check on forums etc which versions work best for what you have as it will save a lot of time and aggrevation later. Just have a play about and if you do it on local host then you will have no worries about doing anything wrong. I hope this helps you a little, but most of all have fun with. It's the best way to learn anything.
Can you please guide me how can I install joomla on windows 7 home ....to test the site on local host ...
You will need to install the local host. If you go to apachefriends.org you will find a local host for each operating system (Windows, Linux and Mac). There are installation guides on how to install. Windows 7 I cannot help you with as I don't really use Windows at all as I find it's un-secure and very slow. If you can find the book - Joomla for Dummies - this takes you through the steps for installing your local host and also Joomla.
When you install Joomla to login you need to add administrator to your website to access the login page. mysite.com/administrator It will ask you for your login and password. It is very hard to get used to, but easy when you do and it has some really cool features too.
