First of all, im a total newbie when it comes to Joomla, Only been working with WordPress and such earlier.

I´ve installed Joomla 1.5.7 without any problem, after that installed the JA Teline II template together with the modules/plugins that came with the package. I enabled everything, and after that i am lost. See attached picture, everything ends up to the right of the screen, and the poll and advertisment boxes are gone.

Im sure im doing something wrong, so basically i just need a little push in the correct direction, if someone would be so nice to provide it. Thank you!

EDIT: Sorry for the really crappy picture, hopefully you can understand my problem anyway.

I’m guessing you didn’t install any sample data?

For beginners it is always easier to install content into the site first so that you have something to work on. In the case of downloading a template from joomlart I would advise you to install the Quickstart version that comes with the download of teline II and all other templates on Joomlart. This will make your site look like the demo version. Make sure when installing your site, when you get to the database setup page, that you click the ‘Install sample data’ button, other wise you will be faced with an empty site as seems to have happened here.

Of course I could be wrong… I can’t really tell from the screenie. 🙂

Thank you for your answer, scotty. Yes, i installed the sample data when initially installing Joomla so thats not the problem. Using any of “the built-in” templates in Joomla does not produce any errors at all. everything looks great.

As i said, im a newbie, but something tells me that when using JA_Teline II template the installed sample data are showing up together with the template, but not together with the other templates? Am i supposed to disable some stuff before JA_Teline II can operate normally?

it looks like you did a plain install of joomla with the joomla sample data

as your just starting out, delete your current installation

install the quickstart package and install the sample data that comes with the quickstart

your missing the modules and components that make the teline series work,

as stated above, always use the ja template quickstart to install
