Does any one have an iJoomla Template?

I'm stuck. Does anyone have an iJoomla template they would like to share? Just to get me going! It doesn't have to be as good as some of the 'top sites', just something that I can play with and learn from.

I am sure that I am not the only one who would welcome this Rolling Eyes

iJoomla works with any template. Take a look here, you will find a list of good places for templates:

Yes I am aware of that. I suppose what I am thinking of is a template that already includes an iJoomla Magazine, with dummy text instead of articles.

We don't have that right now but we may add it for future version.

RandyMac,

I am sorry you feel that way and:

A. I would love to give you a refund if you are so unhappy

B. We state clearly that we don't provide a template with the component. You can see it here:

http://www.ijoomla.com/Joomla_Magazine/FAQ/Does_iJoomla
_Magazine_comes_with_templates?/

We don't because:

1. Templates are not our business and we would hate to provide a template that is not good enough because of lack of experience on our end to create a good template.

2. Different people like different templates. We can't make everybody happy with one or even 3 templates.

3. You'd still have to create your magazine, and this is something we can't do for you.

4. There is no need for a template because our component works with every template

We DO explain how we created the demo sites, you can see it here:

http://www.ijoomla.com/mtree/Demo_Magazines/

It has the name of the template, were you can get it, which modules were used etc.

C. Creating the manual took us longer than expected because our technical writer is very sick and he is in the hospital. Yesterday we released our manual and it is available to download on our FREE DOWNLOADS page.

D. If you are having questions why don't you just ask? We helped hundreds of users with thousands of questions. We respond to almost every question within 24 hours.

You can ask any question and we will gladly help you, that's why we're here.

RandyMac;

There were a few things about the iJoomla that also confused me at first. I was expecting this to run more like a piece of Joomla, which is where I made my mistake. Once I recognized the logic flow in the Mag component, it suddenly made more sense. There are certainly a few things that I would improve on or change outright, but for a first run component I have to say this does a great job.

Hey Randy Mac,

Dont give up so quickly mate. I am by no means an experienced Joomla or Mambo web creator, but it did not take me long to get the basics of a mag up and running.

I splashed out a few bucks and got the akoIndustry template, as I liked the look of it. (just like the dating demo site)

I followed the tutorial, and downloaded a few images, and used an image program to crop to required sizes (per info sheet with demo sites) and hey presto a mag site.

It works a treat. There are always a few things that need tweaking for the next edition, but this version works fine for me.

And literally, after I have compiled my content and images, it does only take a few minutes to publish.

Hope I can change your mind...

Tony
