Hi folks,

I try to migrate my very old site to joomla 3.x
I have this site since joomla 1.5

after migration to v.2 I had allready some problems with the old template, but somehow I made it work.

Now I realized, that I wouldn’t have this "luck" after migration to v3.x

I made a "sandbox" to test everything and I’m afraid, that my intellect wouldn’t be enough to migrate my template into T3

Please, would anybody be so kind and have a look at my site and give me a tipp how should I start.
The site is: http://sgsn-handball.de

Hi
if you moved from the Older Joomla , you have to check all the Configurations are working in your Joomla , and all extensions /templates are ready for latest Joomla .
To know about the T3 , I suggest you install quickstart package on localhost and play with it .
Here is full documentation for T3 .

Look at the picture.
Before an after every article do the waved brackets appear.

How can I make them disappear?

…and how can I configure the content area to show the articles in two columns like my old site do?

Hi
You have to change the read more button from article editor to change the intro text .
For the two columns view kindly check the menu options . If your older template has its own style and override for the two columns you will not get the same . You have to customise the template a lot and create a new override for this . This can be a heavy custom work , I suggest you hire a developer for such tasks .

Menu options are checked and everything is allright.
I can’t believe, that it’s necessary to hire a developer to solve such a simple problem.
It must be possible to do it in a easy way.
I believe that T3 is flexible enough.

Hi
T3 is flexible, but you have to make customisation to make it like your older template . You can check the documentation and have to play with package to see how it works .

Well, thnaks.

…but all you can tell me is to read the docs where isn’t anything to find to solve this easy problem.
Why don’t you give me a hint?

Kindly check this link for customization in layout : http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-customization
Everything is simply defined with steps to customise T3 . For creating override for the menu you have to make override in template folder/html/com_content/category .
Here is documentation .
