Template system users guide
macallf:
I'm working on a user manual for VM's template system and I want to know what you think and if I should continue.
Obviously this won't be finished overnight but the attached pdf should give you an idea of what I'm working on and the layout.
It's not a guide to writing html, css or php. It also won't help with general Joomla templates.
But it will indicate which templates are used by each page, which fields are available, which file creates the page. For the more complex pages I will also detail the sub templates and which fields are used there.
macallf:
Well I've just done a bit of an update which should give a better idea of the overall look of the pdf.
As I have said this is by no means finished and is still work in progress.
I have deliberately not made the information to detailed. Most people do not need to know what each line in a template does. But an explanation on how the fields are referenced and a description of each field used is more appropriate.
Some of the required php in each file is given and a mention of what it does. For most all you need to do is to ensure that these lines are within your template files in the correct places.
Comments would be appreciated as to layout, content etc.

Hi Mark
This is a great idea, I really struggle with the flypages

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am new to web development after a 16 year hiatus from systems development. I am trying to get in to the freelance business and have someone with an established business who is helping me out--and he wants me to become his Virtuemart guru. The learning curve is steep, since I am still learning html, css, php as I go. Browsing through the forums is helpful, but this manual is exactly what I need to learn quickly. thanks for taking the time to do it.
