Well over a week of learning Themla for Joomla. A difficult transition but am near to making a standard template that will replace Artisteer templates.
I wanted to make a complete template from scratch to prove I understood stuff. My current best candidate has four 'Sidebars" under the Content & Sidebars body of the template. It evolved from a downloaded template.
I did a new install today and that helped with some stability issues and gave me the opportunity to open a blank template.
This template has just two 'Sidebars' under the Content & Sidebars title. I just want to add some more to build the core of the template.
[1] How do I add more Sidebars into my template?
Also while we are asking,
[2] Is there any tricks to getting the same formatting under Content &Sidebars on all the templates?
A major issue in me trying to build a standard template for Joomla has been keeping the four templates looking the same because the sidebars seem to be independently formatted on a per template basis, so keeping say "Blog" and "Default" templates. There was a suggestion that they were the same on all templates but this is clearly not the same.
