Template Names, Paths and Base URL for 1.5 Joomla Templates

September 6, 2007 By barrie@compassdesigns.net Leave a Comment

If you want to to a quick test, create a very basic Joomla 1.5 template and then put this somewhere in the index.php file:

The name of this site is <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename');?><br />

The administrator email is <?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom');?><br />

This template is in the <?php echo $this->template?> directory<br />

The URL is <?php echo JURI::base();;?>

This shows you the various new cals that can be made in 1.5.

A couple of people asked, so I have created a tiny installable debugging template for 1.5. This will install a template that has only 2 files, the index.php
and templateDetails.xml. I removed references to other files to give a bare
bones output with no CSS. This is actually a useful diagnostic template, you
can install it and track errors that are occurring with a component or module.

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
