Downloading of Templates - Why Separate Files?

[drcoolj]

Hi
I wish you had one download per template not 3-4 from the ones ive download, this would make it easier and more organized on the user end, well at least to me.
ie
http://www.joomlart.com/downloads/cat/joomlart_club_templates/ja_altair.html
http://www.joomlart.com/downloads/cat/joomlart_club_templates/ja_justicia.html 9 files..

Now Im not asking you do away with your current downloads, but an option to download all the files in one zip file would be a great time saver as well.

Its very time consuming to download all these files.:confused:

Thanks.

It'll take the exact same amount of time to download the file as one huge package. It just allows people to easily get what they need without getting the stuff they don't need. And, if we need to update something it's much easier to download one file rather than the whole package

You also have the issue of some people downloading a zip file then trying to install it straight away, not realising they'll have to open the zip file and extract certain files. It's just so much easier this way.

I also think the downloading process can be simplified... i have to click on the template of my choice... then i can see what files offered... then i have to click which file... wait the page to load again... then only can download...

If i can dowload straight from the file listing of that template would be easier... if user want to know more, they can click on the file name and taken to detailed page...


also, if posibble... please list Main Repository Page > JoomlArt Club Templates by month... easier to remember which is which... if all the names mix, quite hard to remember. I didn't have a good internet connetion to browse through the demo page again...

As mentioned above, you need to consider the users who wouldn't understand which is different. They won't extract the file first, instead trying to upload the full package.

However, I will discuss the second idea with the team and I'll let you know what they think.
