The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.

The original JA Purity template was provided from JoomlArt.com as a zip but the latest files have been installed along with Joomla. The relevant files, templateDetails.xml and ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css, can be found in templates/ja_purity. If you've been following the tutorial, you can download a tutorial version of the template that installs to the templates/my_japurity folder. Inside the folder of the template, the files are located as follows:

    <location of template
        index.php
        templateDetails.xml
        css/
            ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css

Note: The css file isn't installed as of version 1.5.11. You'll need to add this file to the site using the code below.

2 modifications need to be made to index.php

should be at top of your template index.php after the doc type

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->language; ?>" dir="<?php echo $this->direction; ?>" >

second modification to index.php

Modify index.php starting at line XXX

<!-- Added right to left check -->
<?php if ($this->countModules('hornav')): ?>
 <?php if ($tmpTools->getParam('horNavType') == 'css'): ?>
  <?php  if($this->direction == 'rtl') : ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css" type="text/css" />
  <?php else: ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu.css" type="text/css" />
  <?php endif; ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/js/ja.cssmenu.js"></script>
 <?php else: ?>
  <?php  if($this->direction == 'rtl') : ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css" type="text/css" />
  <?php else: ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/ja-sosdmenu.css" type="text/css" />
  <?php endif; ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/js/ja.moomenu.js"></script>
 <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Change the ja-sosdmenu-rtl.css file to look like the following:

/* Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns

Originally developed by Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

NOTE: After a deep research, we decide to divide this
CSS into 2 parts. The first part will define the layout.
The second part will define the visual look for this menu.
