Joomla And Dreamweaver

by TKBoome on November 11, 2011

Joomla templates are very useful for many developers and designers of websites. Joomla is an open source content management system (CMS) which means designs and styles are constantly developing and evolving. For those who have found a template that’s just about right for your website but needs some minor changes, you can edit the Joomla template in Dreamweaver.

When you edit a Joomla template, you usually focus on editing the CSS and never on the HTML. The CSS deals mainly on the style and format of the website. A Joomla template can also be edited using text editors and integrated design environment (IDE). You ought to be familiar with the file names and folders of your Joomla website so you can result in the necessary changes. Your computer should have PHP, Apache, MySQL and WAMP as your executable package. You should also have Joomla set up in your local server. With all these configured, you can do the editing of your Joomla website, and templates, using Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver may be used as a text editor. But the down side of this is that you is only going to see the result after you have uploaded the alterations and configured the web server. After which, you will see how your website looks online.

You may also run Dreamweaver as editor by setting the web server of your computer and use a web browser to view any changes. This can involve a more complex process however, you will be able to view the results of the alterations you have made in an instant.

Another method would be to utilize the Joomla Dreamweaver Template Extension Kit. This can be availed through download in the Joomla website and can make editing of your Joomla templates easier using Dreamweaver. The wizard that’s included in the kit is a guide on how to go about making a new template or modifying or editing a Joomla template. However, there’s a corresponding charge for the download of the kit. Also, Dreamweaver cannot display the output for the edited template for Joomla if you don’t use a standard compliant web browser to preview the changes. View more at http://joomladreamweaver.com/.
