free joomla template Dellistore

Dellistore is another conversion from freely available css/xhtml template. The template is basically created for spa and hotel related sites. It has a "homely" look and overall background is darker.

We took that xhtml template and converted it into Joomla 1.5.x and we also provide it completely free.

YES, again We are very proud that our converted template is now featured at smashingmagazine.com .

In this Joomla template we have used a separate chrome named "vr" (you can see that in html folder) to create top bg, bottom bg and middle bg effect.

Ok, Now we have a request from you people that we are good at converting html into Joomla templates and we request you to contact us when you are in need of template conversion.  Whether the source is in PSD/JPG or html we can convert that into Joomla.

free joomla template 2 breed

We have converted one nicely designed css/xhtml template "2 Breed" into Joomla 1.5.x version.  "2 Breed" was originally released as css/xhtml template freely by smashingmagazine.com and templateworld.com.  The template was released completely free without any limitation.

We took that xhtml template and converted it into Joomla 1.5.x and we also provide it completely free.

We are very proud that our converted template is now featured at smashingmagazine.com .  Please look at the release of 2 breed css/xhtml template in the post there.  You will be seeing our link to blog post.

Smashingmagazine people release freebies which are high quality and worth to people usage.  And we believe that our template serves the purpose of using joomla template.

The converted version is somewhat more enhanced than original xhtml template.  Now the content can flow to any height and the background color will  follow it.

Ok, Now we have a request from you people that we are good at converting html into Joomla templates and we request you to contact us when you are in need of template conversion.  Whether the source is in PSD/JPG or html we can convert that into Joomla.

Overriding mod_mainmenu to get pipe character between menu items in horizontal menus Print E-mail

Separators are always nice way to separate menu items when the menu items are in horizontal manner. We know that the menus are generated in core and we only get classes and suffixes directly in templates. However, these classes are not enough to handle some kind of stylish ways to do the things.

For example you might have seen horizontal menus as follows,

home | about us | services | contact us

CSSifying the above behaviour may be like setting the pipe character or pipe character in image. Adding pipe character is complex task. However, adding background image of pipe character is easy with css classes.

The effect can be obtained with following similar code,

background : url(../images/pipechar.png) top right no-repeat;

However, the problem is that the pipe character image will be set to last item also. Hence it will be looking like following,

home | about us | services | contact us |

Notice the last pipe character. Hence we need to remove that to make it better and perfect. For this kind of think generally designers use a technic called "first item" and "last item" in UL LI css tag. So setting the first LI with class "firstItem" and setting last LI with class "lastItem" can help arrange hiding or removing the last background image of last item.

For example, we can set something like,

ul.menu li.lastItem
{
background : none;
}

Ok, Tell me how to do it.

Yes, i hear you.

Joomla gives option of overriding almost any output of modules or components from custom templates itself. We can modify the output of mod_login, mod_latestnews or com_content in anyway we want so the look and feel will be more designer specific and not Joomla specific.

First copy the /modules/mod_mainmenu/tmpl/default.php To /templates/any_of_your_template/html/mod_mainmenu/default.php

If html folder is not available in template, create it please. In the same way you can create mod_mainmenu folder and then you can copy default.php to the new place.

This default.php is the magic place where you can handle the output of any menu. Please note the word "any menu" which means it can handle vertical, horizontal or list menu.

For more information, here is a clear blog post that describes how to do it,

I will be updating this post once i get my own version of custom menu hack for this purpose.  Until then, please play on your own way with the above link.
