Hi

version: Joomla 1.7
download: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=361
goal: Install only theme without plugin – integrate plugin code into theme

I try to integrate the JA_T3_plugin into a folder in the template JA_T3_blank. Anyone had success with doing this or knows how to do?

It’s a system plugin so i thought i just include the files into the themes index.php. But there seems to be more to handle.

Thanks for your short and fast hint regarding this.

Regards, Marek

You install
– JA T3 System plugin for Joomla 1.7 first
– JA T3 Blank template for joomla 1.7 second

You completely don’t understand. Seriously did you even READ my post?

My goal is to integrate the code from the plugin into the template.

@mareklungo
what kind of integration you intended to?

I think @khoand is right about this
everything for the presentation is handled by the t3 plugin, so if you only want to override some of the presentation function, just do so by copying it into the html folder under the t3_blank

if you only want to install a working template without the needs to install the t3 plugin, then you can refer to the old version of t3 framework, but that’s way beyond my below-average capability 😀

Thats what i try to do. i don’t like the “new” system:
– slower since additionaly rendering the theme
– more complex to customize
– A CHANGE in the plugin (f.e. for design customisation) makes the multiuse of JA_T3-Templates on a website impossible since they are all based on 1 and the same plugin
– its the opposite from KISS princip

+ easier upgrade (lol, it might faciliate the work U (joomlart) need to do for future joomla upgrades so you only have to upgrade the plugin and the separated design is rendered automaticaly correctly)

I really speak out for reintegration into the theme. Thanks for concering the pros & con’s

@nawainruk thx 4the tip

while I agree on your opinion that this plugin needs a change (such as the ability to add more template-specific-parameters, adding social plugins and so on), in some way I disagree with much of yours.

in my opinion, You can incorporate many theme / design using only one T3 template by implementing theme (read this on joomlart’s wiki) because the default (plugin’s) parameters will be overridden by the template’s parameters and the template’s ones will also be overriddenby the theme-specific parameters within the template.

while in the previous version, I did feel more freedom, I think it’s a better solution. It’s just that we need to get used to..

Hi

Sorry for the late reply. I can not agree with you since you only try “to guess” but “you do not know”. Let my explain by example:
I use 2 completely different t3 V2 templates on a website. For one of these themes i want to expand the admin-interface by adding a custom upload-field for the logo.
[PHP]class JFormFieldcust_upload extends JFormField [/PHP]
now i expand the JFormField and use my custom type. UNFORTUNATELY i will see this option also in the second template since the template overrides are not taking into account the admin interface, so i HAD TO do the changes in the global plugin instead template-wise.

I dont think this system is flexible.

Any sol
