September 2, 2008 at 2:49 pm #132850when building a site using joomla, regardless of the templates, components, modules, plugins etc used, be prepared to start over as many times as it takes.
it is rare to build a site flawlessly on first try efforts, especially when trying new component s and templates, there is a learning curve for everything. and part of that curve is “trial and error”
take the leaps of faith into trying new things, but always be prepared to delete, reinstall, and try over again until it works. If you get an error message, as components and templates and such regardless of the source are debugged before being released to the community, chances are the error is not a bug, just an issue with your install.
its great when things work first time, but its actually not the norm.
so…be prepared to do things several times before they work correctly ๐

September 4, 2008 at 3:36 am #268644Yes..Rule 3 is definitely wisdom that comes with experience.
But I suppose one should get help when you are really stuck and not just install and reinstall forever !

September 4, 2008 at 5:03 am #268662if you can’t get it right on the third try it is probably because you did the wrong step over again
my point is everyone is too eager to claim that the templates are buggy
I feel left out, i just don’t have all of these problems with the templates ๐
