    • Hi Guys I am a newbee so be gentle. I have installed Joomla 1.5 and the template comes up ok I am looking for a nice but simple template for use as a courier (transportation), I don't need a Blog and I would only need a few simple pages.

      Am I better staying on Joomla 1.5 or using Joomla 1.0?.

      Cheers

    • First, welcome aboard... I think you will enjoy Rocket Theme Template Club (RTTC).

      Your preference really.

      The only advice I could offer is that I prefer to stay with "STABLE" products only. So, with that said, I would stay with 1.0.13 or even 1.0.12.

      Joomla 1.5 is far from stable and is likely to have many updates between now and when it finally goes "stable." With many "unknown" issues like security holes, compatibility issues, or improved scripts you may have to upgrade/update your site many times.

      So, I would stay with the current "stable" version.... if it was me.

    • that is done in your templates index.php file

      Open index.php
      // *************************************************
      // Change the variables below to adjust the template
      //
      // If you have any issues, check out the forum at
      // http://www.rockettheme.com
      //
      // *************************************************
       
           $default_style        = "style15";               //[style1... style20]
           $enable_rokzoom            = "true";                     // true | false
           $template_width            = "1040";                    // width in px
           $secondcol_width           = "25%";                     // width in px | width in %
           $thirdcol_width           = "25%";                 // width in px | width in %
           $menu_name             = "mainmenu";         // mainmenu by default, can be any Joomla menu name
           $menu_type              = "splitmenu";               // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu | module
           $splitmenu_col               = "secondcol";                // secondcol | thirdcol
           $default_font             = "default";                     // smaller | default | larger
           $show_pathway            = "false";                      // true | false

      Change:
      $default_style             = "style15";               //[style1... style20]

      to whatever style you prefer...

    • Hi,
      I have tried everything I have deleted the sql ,deleted all scripts and reinstalled and I still get the same.

      // *************************************************
      // Change the variables below to adjust the template
      //
      // If you have any issues, check out the forum at
      // www.rockettheme.com
      //
      // *************************************************

      $default_style = "style1"; //[style1... style20]
      $enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false
      $template_width = "950"; // width in px
      $secondcol_width = "25%"; // width in px | width in %
      $thirdcol_width = "25%"; // width in px | width in %
      $menu_name = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default, can be any Joomla menu name
      $menu_type = "splitmenu"; // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu | module
      $splitmenu_col = "secondcol"; // secondcol | thirdcol
      $default_font = "default"; // smaller | default | larger
      $show_pathway = "false"; // true | false


      That should show style 1 but it shows different: www.ne-couriers.com

    • Nick, you have a cookie set that's keeping the style on style1, all you have to do is either delete your cookies or put yoursite.com/index.php?tstyle=styleX to update your cookie (where X is the style number)
