Free Joomla Templates

Upload your free Joomla! templates and other extensions

TY2U.com News

I recently opened up the ability for you to upload your own free Joomla! templates and other extensions so feel free to upload your Joomla! template or whatever you happen to have and I will check it out and publish it if I like it.

You can also submit your links to the link directory, submit news or add a tutorial, or even make a suggestion on something useful for me to create, modify, update, etc.

Have a super day!

Free Joomla! Template The Path Less Travelled 3

Template Releases

I just released an update for the free Joomla! template I created back in 2005.  Only back then it was still a Mambo template based heavily on Solar Flare by rhuk.  Now it's a Joomla! 1.5 template and most of the code has changed.  This time I have added a few new options to the template.  There may be more added in the future.

Here is what the original graphics artist wrote about this Joomla template:

Let your visitors find tranquility with "The Path Less Traveled".  The graphic banner features a  country road that few may indeed travel.  The cool blue shades of this template create a serene atmosphere.

You must save the Parameters before the template will work correctly.  Then you can set it as your default Joomla template if you like.

You may wonder why I spelled "travelled" differently in the release of this template.  That is because I'm used to spelling it with 2 L's because I live in Canada.  However, the graphics artist lives in the USA so they originally spelled the name with only 1 L.  Since I am the one who has to type it all the time I figured I should change it to what I am used to so I don't keep mis-typing it causing problems.

You can download this Joomla Template in the downloads section of this website.

Sorry it has taken so long to update all these to Joomla 1.5.  Expect more free Joomla 1.5 templates soon!

Free Joomla! Template Updated - Vivacious 1.6

Template Releases

I just uploaded an update to one of my free Joomla templates named Vivacious 1.6.  This update brings many changes, the biggest update to the template since it was originally released. 

If you had tried version 1.5.1 of Vivacious you probably weren't able to install it due to some backward slashes in the XML file.  Sorry about that.  I am pretty sure I tested it but that was back when I still had windows so maybe it was ok with the backwards slashes.  Well it won't happen again because I am running strictly on Linux OpenSuse now and will never go back.  Speaking of which, if anyone can test this in IE and find any errors please let me know.

This template is for Joomla 1.5.

Here is a change log I tried to keep.

v1.6 - 23 Feb 2010
- Fixed XML file - slashes were backwards in paths so most would not have been able to install
- removed com_contact and com_user from html folder and some other files
- added blank index.html to css folder
- set width for login module text fields
- added param for alignment
- alignment also contains a liquid option for liquid layout
- many various CSS fixes
- auto collapsing right column
- replaced header image
- added width param
- added param to remove search box
- W3C valid CSS and XHTML
- probably some more stuff I forgot to add here

You can download the template in the downloads section.

Enjoy

New Features

TY2U.com News

Hey there.  I just updated this site so you can now add your own news, downloads, and links.

I added a Directory to build up a listing of Joomla sites and so people can exchange links with me.  I have turned on the Featured Links feature of the directory which allows you to submit your link to appear on each page of this site in the top left corner under the Featured Links heading.  This is on a subscription basis for $5 a month.

Also, once you are registered you will see a My Account link on the top right which you can edit your account info under.  It also has some links to submit your content to this site.  This includes news and downloads.  Once you submit it I will review it and decide to publish it or not.  In the interest of keeping things organized and useful I may decide not to publish some items.  I really like Joomla templates so if you have anything to do with Joomla templates feel free to submit it.  But I generally will accept anything to do with Joomla as long as it's in a friendly tone and has been spell checked and looks neat and tidy.

Things are in a testing phase right now so you may run into errors. If you do find errors or have any comments or suggestions please report them to me in the forums or in a comment or by emailing me directly.

Also I added the ability to donate since people are occasionally asking me where they can donate to.  I think I had a link on here at one point but it got lost so this one seems pretty nice.  When I donate to people sometimes and it makes me feel good =)  If I get enough donations I will send it back into the Joomla community by donating to other people.

Thank you!

Ryan
