 Template Thumbnail This is a variable width, variable columned tableless
template which uses the rounded corners and transparent shaded borders
technique by Roger Johansson.This
technique uses javascript to create the rounded corners that you see as
well as the borders on the left and right. What's really cool about
this technique is that it uses a total of two small images to achieve
this result. And, for those browsers that do not support javascript,
the javascript and CSS are setup to handle that by applying simple borders as you would
normally expect to find. One of the other things I've done with this template is check to see if the right or user2
modules are published. If neither is published, the third column will
be removed and the center column will grow to fit the screen properly.
You can test out this, and all of my templates, for yourself on the Demo Server and you can download the template from the Downloads Section. Write Comment (3 Comments) |

One of the great things about a good Content
Management System like Joomla! is that it is now simple to have a
website who's content is truly dynamic. Adding and changing content has
never been simpler and keeping your website fresh and up to date keeps
your visitors coming back.
One of the other things about a great Content Management System like
Joomla! is the ability to change the look and feel of your website with
templates. The images, text, layout and general 'look and feel' of your
website can be customized fairly easily and there are plenty of people
out there offering pre-made templates so you don't have to do the
coding yourself. Should you choose to create your own templates, there
is a large community of users willing to help you out.
So why not extend your templates further by making them dynamic as well? |

 Template Thumbnail A new template for the Joomla! CMS system is now available in the Downloads section titled N.I.R.D. 1. This template uses PHP code contributed by Jon Palmer
that allows the background image and color to change based on the day
of the week. So each day of the week it's something different! This template has been put together based on the "Rocky Mountain Sunrise " template by Randy Carver . This is a 3 column, tableless, variable width template with dynamic background color and image. You
are free to download this template and use it on your website. Hey,
everybody wants their very own Nivuahc, right? Or, if you prefer, you
can take a look inside, change the images to something that suits you, adjust the background colors, or whatever makes you happy. I'd love to be able to take all of the credit for this template, but the real work was done by Randy and it wouldn't have been possible without help from Jon. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank both of them. I've learned quite a lot from this experience already. This was done in the hopes that it would spark a similar idea in you for the creation of your own dynamic templates. Yeah, it's named N.I.R.D. 1... that's because N.I.R.D. 2 is already in the works.  So get the template from here , and beat the rush! |
