Well . . . A video showing you a style that is populated with the demo material and illustrate how to go about editing the 'module' etc that is responsible for that content. Just looking over the content produced by some menu items and highlighting how to get in tweak those.
I realise you can simply click on the front 'edit' pencil to edit an item, but that doesn't always show me where that content is in the admin if I want to fully edit things.
For example; just to give you an idea of where my confusion lies. Just now I'm looking at the demo menu and among them there is
"Joomla", in the drop-down from that there is a "List Weblinks"
Click on that a page opens up with weblinks as expected.
And each link can be edited. But where exactly is this in admin. For instance if I wanted to remove the word: Weblink from before the links. I imaged I could go to a 'module' or article and simply turn off the title. But I can't even find where to go???? Also, I went into the articles area and put in another category called "Venues". Went back into one of these weblinks (after a refresh) but there was no categories to change to. It still only showed "uncategorised".
I'm sure you are going to tell me where I went wrong (at least I hope someone is) but that's the kind of thing I mean. If someone on video has a mosey around on these menus and demos how to change things. For someone like me coming from regular templates and content, I feel as though I just haven't been let in on a well known secret yet.
Things like that. So I suppose if you observed a user having a go at looking around a demo populated template and trying to customise it for say an entertainer or an artist or whatever and consider what difficulties they are having you might clearly see what should be demonstrated. As is mentioned in the template in admin "There are a tonne of options". Given it's complexity, it is little wonder that a newbie will simply get lost in this city of lights.
