phpld templates

(1) Please post the best tutorial that shows how to create phpld template step-by-step.

(2)
what expertise do you need to design a phpld template

thanks

 

Never seen a step by step guide.

 

you can't write a step by step tutorial ...

let me break it down for you here

1) make a psd
2) slice it
3) write html
4) convert html tags to smarty
5) you are done



now if anyone can explain to me how to write a step to step guide ??


if you know how to do a basic html / css base template than you can do phpld templates

instead of giving /extensions/images/

just replace by smarty tags ... and u hav a phpld template

 

Ouch i would love to create my own templates, but from what you just mentioned, i must learn quite a bit first.

Something i wont put off for ever, just hard trying to fit everything in.

 

great info smub;

the best way is a video tutorial.

 

I guess many wont because it would take business away from them.

 

writing or using video to write a tut will take hours, design, slicing, coding, converting etc.... no one would watch it

 

I would watch it, im patient that way maybe Lynda.com or VTC could make one i think theres big enough demand.

 

if I can do it I believe you can to I just converted my first one from a css template to try it out it wasn't to bad I have it posted for review improvements @ phplinkdirectory now to get it to validate

 

Thanks jminscoe, im really pleased that you have done your first, i think if i can dedicate a certain amount of time each week it would at least get me started and i could take it at a very slow pace and see how i go.
