Please welcome me, because I'm new!
I just have to say that I have been trolling the internet for about 2 months deciding what package to use for my website.
I have decided to use joomla, after I saw how ridiculously good these designs/themes look...very impressed...
By trade, I am a network engineer/network administrator, with basic knowledge of css/html/php/sql.. However my site was setup on linux platform , joomla 1.0.13.
also:
PHP 4.3, PHP 5.1, CGI 1.0, 2.0, PERL 5.0, PYTHON 2.4, RUBY 1.8.4, MYSQL 4.0.27, 4.1, 5.0
I ditched SMF , even though it is good, but a bulletin board system didn't give me what I was looking for.
I don't want to reveal what my site is about, and what the content will be, becaus I'm just getting started.
My only question is about adsense. on SMF, adsense module (called ad management I believe), made it easy to place persistent ads, but for the default theme, if you wanted it to work with other non-default themes, you had to get into some hacking around the template php files, and I'm not knowledgeable enough quite yet to do that.
How is joomla support with adsense, and integration with rocket theme templates?

Thanks for the response.
BTW, I am stuck with joomla 1.0.13, I have no way of going to 1.0.12, will rocket launcher work?
No, since it's a new installation of 1.0.12. Best way is to install the RocketLauncher package you want, then add the 1.0.12-1.0.13 patch files to the installation...should work fine.
Welcome btw

I've installed the replicant theme, and equinox, but alot of it doesnt come out perfect, I get alot of glitches....look at the attached sreenshot
I thought it would look pretty out of the box, is this some flaky godaddy glitch? or is there simply post template installation configurations?

Just guessing, but it looks like you have installed the rocket-launcher into a sub-directory and your live sit doesn't reflect that.
In other words...
The rocket_launcher installs into a sub-folder like rt_simplex... so in order for our live-site to match up, one must declare, in the configuration.php, a mos_livesite of www.yoursite.com/rt_simplex .
Hopefully that makes sense.

Next, goto you Domain Manager and direct your domain name to point to that folder. That way, they do not need to add the folder extension in the web address to get to your front page.
Using hosting accounts, it is usually wise to install websites or other components into sub-folders. If you ever want to run more than one website from the same account, they definitely need to be in separate folders. If you ever want to run other, non-related, software such as forum software, they also need to be installed into a separate folder.
One might organize their hosting service like below:
*ROOT*
/jones_com
/jones_net
/war_novels_com
/billing_service_com
/smforum
/coppermine
With the above example, I demonstrated a hosting account file-structure using three web-addresses and two ancillary software titles.
Websites in the above example:
www.jones.com
www.jones.net
www.war-novels.com
www.billingservices.com
Ancillary software packages:
/smforum = simplemachines forum software
/coppermine = coppermine photo gallery software
Notice that the web-addresses do not have to exactly match the folder name, but the folder name should have some resemblance of what it contains (only for organization and memory reasons). I can now go into my Domain Manager and point any "owned" domain name to any of these folders. So, for example, I can type-in www.jones.com and the browser will be pointed automatically to the /jones_com sub-folder.
(NOTE - the reason I put the _com after the folder is in case you also own the .net variation of the same site and want different software to be ran from inside that specific folder)(ANOTHER VARIATION - I personally own .com and .net variations of the same domain name and I have both variations pointing to the same folder).
I hope this helps!
