Hello, until something like uPage or a Themler module in Joomla option is available I have a question about the use of more than the standard templates that come with Themler for Joomla.

If I create some extra templates for other pages does this add any pitfalls or huge increase in css, ,resource usage, etc.?

My thought is to add some new custom pages for my users but leave the content area open so they can edit the content via the Joomla articles but I can customize the page. If I use the Themler editor for the article it creates a blob of code they cannot edit.

So what are you thoughts on a few more templates regarding code sizes, SEO impacts, etc.?

Thank you

Hi,

The theme will have more .php files as each template has it's own .php files for each part of the page. They are not huge, so you can test if that is critical for you.

What about CSS file sizes and length? Does each template use the same template CSS file as the rest of the site only adding new classes etc. as you make new sections, etc.?

What about updates, no problems there.

I am not concerned about PHP files I guess.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it adds the additional classes in the CSS file and it becomes larger. When using Publish option, the file is minimized and the duplicated classes should be removed.

So no update issues really? The new templates get updated just like the built in ones without any other concerns?

This sounds like a pretty good solution then.

Thanks for clarifying.

Hi,

Yes, the custom templates are similar to built-in theme templates (Home, Post, Page, etc). They have own php files and includes but use the same stylesheet files and scripts.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
Olivia
