Download Joomla Templates

I’m a joomla newbie. I’ve found a template with a great layout but the images are not to my liking. If I change the images and use it, will I be breaking any rule?

I change images all the time, you should just ensure you leave the link to them and you will be fine.. Joomla is open source!

check the licence you ticked when you downloaded it

Where can I get professional looking Joomla templates, for free? I dont mind having a ‘Joomla’ text button, nothing big/flashy.

I am going for a gaming theme site, so.

And also, where’s a good place to find free add-ons like members can RSVP for a party and have their name show up as attending.

There are hundreds out there if you Google "Joomla templates free" but beware as a badly designed template can reduce usability and speed – and cool! In technical terms I would recommend using WC3 compliant xhtml / css based templates.

In terms of where to get them, try this site:

http://www.rockettheme.com

and check out this one:

http://www.joomlashack.com/

as recommend her these guys.

Compass Designs is also great for learning the inside story on templates:

as is Rocket Theme:

The place to start with plugins is of course Joomla’s own site:

http://extensions.joomla.org

There is the essential component Community Builder which will reinforce the management of members:

http://www.joomlapolis.com/

And I would guess that one of the Reservations plugins might achieve the party invite system you are looking for. Just download, install and test out a few and see which gives you the best options.

Good gaming!

I like to build a free website where users can share tutorials on how to use different programs, and I have no clue how to start, is Joomla the right way to go?
Thanks for your answer caspergrl.

I should clear this up, I want to build the website myself, and it is going to be free for the users.

I could be wrong about this (I build sites for a living so I don’t search on these) but I don’t think you can do this sort of thing for free. If you’re wanting something setup where people share that could result in using alot of webspace which can get costly. Not to mention you’ll need someone to build it. I wuold be a little surprised to hear someone would offer those services for free… still, best of luck. Worst case I’d look into finding a friend who’s familiar with building websites and knows a little programming for the cheapest route (aside from figuring out how to do it yourself).

Any Good sites offering free Templates and Extentions/Components / Plugins for free for JOOMLA ??
Even Forums will do….

First port of call will always be joomla.org as all extensions tend to be listed there – thats how people find out about them:

http://extensions.joomla.org

From there most extensions link to their own site / demo page and others simply have a sourceforge development site.

Some have heavily visited forums and a good daily level of support because they are so widely used eg.:
Community Builder @ http://www.joomlapolis.com
or because they adapt joomla to function as a specialist website eg.:
Virtuemart @ http://virtuemart.net

There are many other great sites for ‘empty’ basic templates and extras such as:
Compass Designs:

http://www.compassdesigns.net

or Rocket Themes:

http://www.rockettheme.com

Good luck!

I want to develop a web site with a series of downloadable PDF documents, with the list of PDFs growing by time. Right now its small, like 20 documents but more and more documents will be added. The web site contains pages showing the thumbnail and description of the documents, and links for user to download. Do I need content management system for this so I can just keep adding documents/contents in the future without messing with the website?

I need something I can learn quickly, and simple to use.

I want to use my own design/template.

Anyone have experience with Joomla? is that a good one? WordPress? Or does building SQL database from the ground worthed?

Thannnnksks!!

Joomla would certainly work, but it’s harder to learn then some. If you want something easy, go with CMS Made Simple -it really is simple. It’s a lot easier to work with for design also.

I wouldn’t deal with building the database from the ground up, it’s a lot of work and it doesn’t sound like you have anything any where near complicated enough to warrant that.

The pre-built CMS systems available are a great tool, I would always recommend using them.

I presume you mean the CMS ? http://www.joomla.com

Do you need attachments, add ons etc.

If not where is the best place to get templates from

You cannot design templates with Joomla. You create a template, install it and tell Joomla if you want this template used on a specific page or if it should be the default template. www.siteground.com has a good selection of free templates.
