Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting asked for a good Joomla tutorial guide. While I have had to sadly turn people away with no real definitive solution or place to go to I have done some research and found a great product which as the title suggests “Joomla Made Easy” does make Joomla easy. This complete guide comes with not only a great step by step guide on how to install, configure and use Joomla but it also comes with Joomla templates, addon modules and guides on how to create membership sites.
There are over 18 Joomla videos, a joomla template maker, joomla template ebook and a massive 400 Joomla Templates to choose from. The great thing about “Joomla Made Easy” is the way the videos are created they are all user friendly and show in laymens terms how to create the joomla website you have always wanted. The cost for this product is $47 but for the money it is well worth purchasing.

It is CSS 2.0 compliant code so it may not work on older browsers.

If you are wanting to switch module positions on and off when there are no modules in given positions on certain pages you can employ the following code:
<?php if($this->countModules(‘right’) == 1) : ?><div id=”main”><jdoc:include type=”component” /><jdoc:include type=”module” style=”xhtml” name=”right” /></div><?php else : ?><div id=”main100″><jdoc:include type=”component” /></div><?php endif; ?>
This will now show the right hand column if there is a module on the right. if there is no module it will hide the right hand column giving you more space in your content.
Have you been spending hours looking for that right joomla template? Have you had a few joomla templates in the past or are sick of being stuff with the default ones that are supplied with Joomla when you download it? The good news is that you are probably not the only person who has had this issue. Infact up until a couple of years ago there were millions of users out there with this very issue. Joomla templating can be very difficult and time consuming even for the “experts in joomla”.
