1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Templates define the way a Web site looks.

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:06,001
These are called themes inside of WordPress, and Drupal, but Joomla

3
00:00:06,002 --> 00:00:09,002
calls them templates. Joomla

4
00:00:09,003 --> 00:00:13,003
comes with several different templates, both for the front-end the Web site, and the

5
00:00:13,004 --> 00:00:14,004
back-end of the Web site.

6
00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:19,005
There are many more templates available for free download, or for paid download,

7
00:00:19,006 --> 00:00:21,006
or of course, you can always code your own.

8
00:00:21,007 --> 00:00:25,007
Let's take a quick peek at our Template Manager, and that can be found under

9
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:27,008
Extensions > Template Manager.

10
00:00:27,009 --> 00:00:33,009
So what we have listed right here in the Template Manager is a combination of

11
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:35,010
two kinds of styles.

12
00:00:35,011 --> 00:00:40,011
We have some Administrator side styles, and we have some front-end styles.

13
00:00:40,012 --> 00:00:44,012
And you know the difference, because here under the Location column, you'll see

14
00:00:44,013 --> 00:00:48,013
styles for Administrator, and styles for the front-end of the Web Site.

15
00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:54,014
By default, we have one style that's chosen as the front-end default, and we have

16
00:00:54,015 --> 00:00:56,015
one style that's chosen as the back-end default.

17
00:00:56,016 --> 00:00:58,016
So which ones are those?

18
00:00:58,017 --> 00:01:02,017
These are the ones with the stars, so protostar is our current template on the

19
00:01:02,018 --> 00:01:07,018
front-end of the Web site, and isis is our template on the back-end of the Web site.

20
00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:11,019
In the coming videos, I'll show you how to change these template styles, and how

21
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:15,020
to use the Template Manager to modify your HTML, and your CSS.

22
00:01:15,021 --> 00:01:19,021
It is possible to have multiple styles assigned to your Web site, and we'll go

23
00:01:19,022 --> 00:01:20,022
through all of that.

24
00:01:20,023 --> 00:01:23,023
However, I will not be covering how to code your own Joomla

25
00:01:23,024 --> 00:01:25,024
template in the Joomla! 3

26
00:01:25,025 --> 00:01:28,025
Essential Training course.

27
00:01:28,026 --> 00:01:32,026
If you do want to know how to create your own custom template from scratch, be

28
00:01:32,027 --> 00:01:33,027
sure to watch my Joomla! 3

29
00:01:33,028 --> 00:01:38,028
Responsive Design course, and I'll walk you through the process of creating a Joomla

30
00:01:38,029 --> 00:01:43,029
template using the bootstrap framework to make a responsive custom template

31
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:44,030
for Joomla.
