Joomla problem

Hi everyone,
After search alot I finally came to the point that its going to be joomla what I going to use for my site. Does anyone know about creating templates.. I mean is there a tutorial about creating templates. Also is there SEO mod for joomla. I'll be grateful if you help me. Thanx. (Also if you think there is something better than Joomla and more flexible then please tell me)

 

Re: template tutorials, I'm sure there are a few out there, but I don't know them I find it easiest to just find a template that is pretty close to what I want, download it then hack it up a bit. It's really not that hard.

SEO? OpenSEF is probably your best bet. There are a few out there, but OpenSEF is free.

 

Hi TwistMyArm: Thanx for the quick reply. Well I tried to download it through www.openSEF.org .. with I see ads... kinda parked domain.. Do you have it or can you provide me a download link. Thanx

 

take a look here Joomla extensions

 

Yep, either check Joomla extensions (which is always a great idea anyway) or download via http://projects.j-prosolution.com/ (which is the homepage of the group that write it).

 

Alright ... I am checking it now.

 

If you want to ease up the Template creation, I will recommend Mediakit. Search for that at www.joomla.org.

If you want some help with converting templates to Joomla, let me know.

 

yup as deano said visit http://extensions.joomla.org
templates at http://templates.joomlaya.com/
themesbase.com

 

hey anghus,
Can you give a link to Mediakit. I wasnt able to find one.

and 010081, thanx for the link.

 

you can use JoomSEF
its free and very good for SEF!

for templates you can find one at www.joomlaos.de

 

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,757/Itemid,35/

 

ok.. just downloaded.. I'll try it out.

 

have you tried to search on joomla web sites ? both of them are being listed on certain places on joomla web sites

 

seo is built into joomla.... go to admincp and then global options and enable SEO and go into ftp and rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and itll be working!

 

Yeah I have seen it and implemented it. But I need urls like

mydomain.tld/directory_name/abc_content/url_link.html

That'll help in SEO. I have been busy for last week. Many of the post above have suggested some SEO mods etc. I'll be trying them. If you have any new Mods other than that .... then please post 'em here.

 

Here is another tip four you.

Install the module called related items. THis way you will get the link within your content to other related content on your site.
