Before You Start

Before you start hacking away at the default installed JA_Purity template you may want to do ONE of the following:

Option One:

• Create a new directory templates/my_japurity
• Copy the contents of the original ja_purity directory to the my_japurity directory.
• Go to the administrator/language/en-GB directory and copy en-GB.tpl_ja_purity.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_japurity.ini
• Go to the language/en-GB directory and copy language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_ja_purity.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_ja_purity.ini
• Open the templateDetails.xml file in the my_japurity directory and change ALL references for the original ja_purity directory to the new directory my_japurity.

  3. <name>JA_Purity</name>

  326. <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_ja_purity.ini</language>

  330. <language tag="en-GB">admin/en-GB.tpl_ja_purity.ini</language>

  388. <param name="theme_header" type="folderlist" directory="templates/ja_purity/styles/header" default="" label="Header Themes" description="HEADER THEMES DESCRIPTION" />

  389. <param name="theme_background" type="folderlist" directory="templates/ja_purity/styles/background" default="" label="Background Themes" description="BACKGROUND THEMES DESCRIPTION" />

  390. <param name="theme_elements" type="folderlist" directory="templates/ja_purity/styles/elements" default="" label="Primary Elements" description="PRIMARY ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION" />

Option Two:

• Download the tutorial template. Once you download the archive, rename it as my_japurity.zip and then log into the Administration area of your Joomla site and install the template.

Doing one of these options will save you from worrying about any future updates to the Joomla source code that might overwrite your existing edits. This tutorial is based on the latest template version as of Joomla version 1.5.11.

• PROBLEM: When Joomla cache is enabled reference Joomla 1.5.10 and before) and clicking a menu item it doesn't change color. It is impossible to understand which is the active menu item. SOLUTION: for now the only solution is to disable the cache function in the mod_mainmenu: go to 'Tools>Module Manager' and select the 'Main Menu' module (type=mod_mainmenu). Under 'Parameters>Advanced Parameters' select 'Caching>No Caching'. SEE: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=541&t=378584
