How do Joomla templates work?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:13 am

Template systems are a foundational part of the Joomla! content management system, and they allow you to quickly and easily create new websites. A template is a set of predefined files and folders that tell Joomla! how to create a new website.

To create a new website using a template, first find the template you want to use on the Joomla! Template Manager. Once you’ve found the template you want, open it in the Joomla! Template Manager.

The Joomla! Template Manager displays a list of all the template files and folders. To create a new website using the template, click on the “Create website” button.

The Joomla! Template Manager will then ask you to fill in some information about the new website. This information includes the website’s name, the website’s URL, and the website’s content.

Once you’ve filled in the information, the Joomla! Template Manager will create the website’s files and folders. The Joomla! Template Manager will also create a default website template file called “default.

Joomla”.

The Joomla! Template Manager will also create a “config.php” file in the new website’s root folder.

PRO TIP: Joomla templates are not compatible with all Joomla versions. Please check the compatibility of the template before you download and install it.

This file contains information about the template, including the template’s name and the template’s description.

You can edit the “config.php” file to change the template’s name or description.

Or you can use the Joomla! Template Manager to create new template files and folders.

The Joomla! Template Manager also allows you to export the contents of a template into a new, custom template. This allows you to use the template’s features in a new, custom website.

The Joomla! Template Manager is a great way to find and use templates for your new, custom website. The Joomla! Template Manager also allows you to edit the template’s files and folders, and to create new template files and folders.
