newbie comments

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

Just joined as a developer and I've got a couple of thoughts:

- Finding some of the documentation a bit confusing - naming the images as same as articles etc, panel/menu etc
- Getting 404 errors when trying to view some documentation
- Look at your 404 page as I was initially confused as it just jumped me to a page with not the content I wanted - only noticed 404 as page name on tab - no reference to 404 error in text
- Possibly me being new found it very difficult to find menu download extension.
- I take it I can't download the "hidden panel" as an extension?

I like your work and look forward to working with your templates - just a bit frustrated at the moment and probably more significantly very tired/dippy.

Cheers
Paul

Hey Paul,

Thanks! Always appreciate good feedback.

1. Ill look at the docs for the slideshow. What specifically and which page re the panel menu.

2. Which docs give you a 404.

3. Good point re the 404 page. Happened with a recent update of sh404 and will fix that.

4.
Possibly me being new found it very difficult to find menu download extension.

Do you mean where to download? There are links in the quicklink panel and then on the individual pages. Also on your profile page if you scroll down you can see all of the template and extension links there. But its good to know its not obvious. Ill work on that.

5. No the hidden panel isnt a separate extension.

That was quick!

Can't find the vast majority of documents were giving me 404s - think the time over here is kicking in.
- www.joomlabamboo.com/documentation/extension-documentation/jb-slideshow-v3 (with new 404 page)

It was strange yesterday for a short time got different errors / database error and then fine no problem after a cup of tea

The info is there for the extensions its just I found it difficult to find.

Regarding downloading the extended menu - I must have been going off the documentation where the link isn't active compared to where a alert user would go from the download section.

Feature overview link for menus point to home page

Any chance of it being a separate extension in the future? - on joomla extensions there is only a ninja one which so far I don't like or a simple ish tutorial about incorporating it into other templates?.

Cheers and time for bed

Hehe no probs :)

1. Where did you find that link to the documentation page for the extension? It should actually not be published because as you see we merged the feature page with the doc page.

2. The info is there for the extensions its just I found it difficult to find.
Might be the tiredness as you say. Cos You just need to click on the extensions menu item then all fo the extensions are listed with download links etc.

3. Good point although it is listed on the template download page but it would make it easier if it were linked to. We are phasing out the use of the extended menu at any rate.

4. Feature overview link for menus point to home page - not sure where that one is.

Its possible but not probable. It will be a plug and play option in most templates using the zgf framework.

Thanks again.

Anthony

Hi again

I think most of my problems stem from the documentation from the Elevate template and me not working at full revs :blink:

- configuring extension link for slide show is one that doesn't work.

- this page www.joomlabamboo.com/joomla-templates/2009-joomla-templates/elevate-new-beginnings - (about menus / panel points to home page.)

When I'm looking at the different templates and working out how I can use them I'll be more organised about any issues I notice.

Cheers
Paul

Hi Anthony,

Noticing that some of the older threads on the forum just point back to main forum page

I was a bit confused by some of the template functions and a bit frustrated so I just ignored them - the last one I tried to read was
number 6 of 6 thread when searching for - module classes grid

Ahh, yeah. I see what you mean....

:blush:

Don't think I can sort that out, so it will be like that until Anthony awakes in the next couple of hours.

Normal service will resume shortly.....

Thanks Paul - All sorted now. Put an alias on the url so it redirects to the correct view now.

Thanks for pointing it out.
