Hello all,
I face something of a challenge and I hope that through these forums (or submitting a ticket if you advise) I can get some help.
I have just signed up today for a 6 month developer subscription to Joomla Bamboo. Initially I need to get a single site off the ground very quickly - hopefully more will follow suit. However I am struggling in that I need to learn my way around the template very very quickly.
I am ok with the basics of Joomla (Articles, Categories, Menu's) and am fine with the system side of things (e.g. PHP etc.). What I need to get up to speed on is how to use the template itself. I've looked through the documentation but perhaps I'm having a bad day...
Without diving into specific issues at this stage I have a request - I have always learned better by doing and looking at examples. The demo site for New Lifestyle is an excellent template for what I want to achieve (I may choose to simplify the home page but that's a separate issue). However building a site like this even though the template is installed successfully appears to be more complex than I first thought.
Is there any way subscribers can obtain the content of the demo sites (or at least browse the administration back-end)? Or a more complete "getting started guide" - the ones I read on this site relate to articles, categories, etc., which I am ok with - however what I want to know is why I can't get my "very top menu" to look like the one on the demo site or how to build the carousel.
Sorry to be a pain - I hope to get more time to devote to this soon but for now the more help I can get to get off the ground and help me through the initial learning curve the better.
Many thanks,
James
