That is a bit more advanced than this book was intended to go. You could do this by giving a page a page class suffix, and then modifying the default css file in your template. * There is a chapter on building a Joomla template. It does not go into full detail on how to get rid of the core tables, but there is a discussion on template overrides, which are the primary means of getting rid of those annoying tables. I understand your frustration with Joomla, but the disadvantages you mention can be overcome with practice and patience. @Kamie... You can migrate a site from 1.0 to 1.5 without totally rebuilding it, but it's not a simple task. It might be good to look into hiring someone with experience doing this. The SourceCoast.com guys that Kyle mentioned do top-notch work. One thing to consider is that it might be a good idea to rebuild the site, depending on how long it has been in existence. Sometimes I like the opportunity to start from scratch on a site. In some cases, it's actually easier to start from scratch than to upgrade. - Cory Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:56:54 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1417 (Cory, feel free to delete this if it qualifies as spam) There's no direct upgrade to 1.5, you'll need a professional to migrate your site. I recommend our programming partner SourceCoast.com, though they may be booked right now [url]http://www.sourcecoast.com/joomla-migration[/url] - Kyle Ledbetter Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:24:14 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1416 Hi, I want to upgrade from 1.0 to 1.5. Am I going to have to rebuild the site? Or does it automatically upgrade? All the help (books) I can find is for 1.5 not 1.0 Thanks - Kamie G Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:03:24 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1414 * a good editor for Joomla? I mean the default one spits out deprecated code. * linking pages (the articles) to css files? it's not so easy for someone who's familiar with xhtml+css how to get this done. e.g. when i want a different background image for some pages (sorry articles) * styling the articles in CSS without using inline css. these are the main issues I bump into, and strangely enough I can't find information about this on internet. Possibly I don't instruct google well... to find a tutorial/explanation?? * how to totally get rid of the table=based core of Joomla? There are certainly advantages to Joomla, but there are still quite a lot of disadvantages (the above) - shanique Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:14:06 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1415 * a good editor for Joomla?

This book focuses on Joomla 1.5. - Cory Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:55:19 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1412 Does this book apply to Joomla 1.0 because that is what my website is using...If not, do you have a book that does explain Joomla 1.5? - Kamie Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:47:49 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090323106/blog/joomla/beginning-joomla-website-development-now-shipping#comment-1408 Awesome stuff man, I'm definitely gonna check it out. - Kyle Ledbetter Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:09:52 +0100
