Joomla Template Kit 3.X Manual

File Structure of the Template

 

Below is a cutout of a Joomla 1.5 Template structure.
The chart below will give you a quick overview of what each file does.
There are few set rules for Joomla Templates as to what files you can add. Our Joomla Template Kit adds files and breaks down files into logical order when it comes down to
the CSS files. Not all the files are needed in a live template.

The chart has four columns.
Column 1 Default anything with an "X " stands for a default file and is needed by Joomla. The JTK uses all the files.
Column 2 "Folder and File Names" this column has folders and sub folders in the color grey and sub folders have a forward slash.
The files names are under the folder names and sub folder files are tab out to Column 2.
Column 3 in the chart are the names of the sub folder file names.
Column 4 are the short descriptions of each file.
