Joomla! Documentation™

This is a work in progress.

Converting your template to work with the Joomla 3 release involves a number of steps. Because Joomla 3 uses the Twitter Bootstrap framework many class and id names have changed. Also to take advantage of Bootstrap you will want to include certain files.

Class names

2.5	3	notes
menu	nav
pagnav	pager
actions	dropdown-menu	This will give you text but no icons

Editor views

The front end editor views use tabs to separate editing areas and options. If you don't wish to use these you will need to make an override that does not include this block:

• <a href="#editor" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo JText::_('JEDITOR') ?></a>
<?php if ($params->get('show_urls_images_frontend') ): ?>
• <a href="#images" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_IMAGES_AND_URLS') ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
• <a href="#publishing" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_PUBLISHING') ?></a>
• <a href="#language" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo JText::_('JFIELD_LANGUAGE_LABEL') ?></a>
• <a href="#metadata" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_METADATA') ?></a>
