Joomla Friends

Hi, ive just installed joomla, and am about to purchase an expensive template from joomlajunkie.com, but the thing is, i’m not sure about the template’s full potential,

This is the template demo

http://www.joomlajunkie.com/demo/index.php?template=ario

I’m want to add an affiliate script, flash ad banners, news feed, forms, blog links and alot of mini gifs in the sidebar, in other words, like a portal.

Is this possible with this template? can it be modified to add the said extensions? or joomla extensions?

10x for ur help!

I am trying to install Joomla, but as soon as I have uploaded the files and go to index.php it says you must remove Installation folder before you can continue. But I haven’t installed it yet? Anyone got any ideas?
Hi Guys

Cheers for the help. I understand that I have to re the installation folder once I have gone through the installation process of linking it to the database etc. The problem I am having is that I cann’t get to the installation process that you normally go through, and then delete the installation folder afterwards. Instead as soon as I upload the file it says delete the installation folder before the process is ran. Hope that makes sense

Hi I recently started using Joomla at school and I chosen the Optimus template. I made up a main menu and when I previewed it the menu only showed up on the left side and the category links that I have set up as children to the section options don’t pull out or even indent when on their parent’s page. Then I changed the menu to the top, the child links don’t drop down at all when hovering or clicking on them. I also tried adding a side bar main menu that has the same options and it doesn’t even show up, just the menu title showed up. Yet when I did a class tutorial on the milky way template it automatically added a top menu and left menu when I entered each link in the module mgr. How can I fix this or do I have to upgrade and purchase the advanced version to get the proper drop-downs to work? If so, where can I get a very simple template that will do what the Optimus would do if I paid for the premium package? I don’t want to use any of joomla’s 3 default templates since the assignment requires us to download a free working 3rd party template from here at the shack or Joomla24 where most of them aren’t free. This project is due in 2 days. I’m really hoping that someone can help me out here since I’m in a jam considering that I’m swamped with 4 other large projects to complete by week’s end.

Thanks

I wish to build a website that has phpBB3 integration, with user integration being my top priority. I want to be able to login on the front page, with information like your name and avatar displayed in that area after login. I would like to know whether Joomla or WordPress handles this task better.

Please do not try to get me to use a different forum. However, if you have a better free CMS choice that would work, I’m all ears.

Thank you.
Yes, I know that Answerer #1. However, people have found means of integrating, or “piecing”, them together. Both Joomla and WordPress can be CMSs.

WordPress has WP-United to do this, and I’ve heard of Joomla having several. However, I want to know which does it best.
Glenn W — Yes, I know. There are a few different ones for Joomla if I recall correctly. Could you specify one, and perhaps a reason why it’s better than its WordPress competition? That’s what this question I posted is all about.
