Custom Template for Joomla
Hi There
I am currently building a custom template to be used in Joomla cms. For the custom template I am using the bootstrap framework.
However I find that once the template has been installed in Joomla cms it is not displaying the way it should do. If I open the file as a normal html file, it displays the way I expect it.
Can anyone please advise. Please see attachments to view the custom template, please try to install it in your joomla cms and let me know what results you get.

Thanks a lot
without looking in to the detail it sounds like the CSS file is not being picked up.
are the paths to the css file ok
can you use Firebug or Chrome (right click inspect element) to see if the CSS is being found?

yes, i have checked the source code and the css file path is fine.

I can't install it on my joomla 2.5 as it fails and I don't have a 3 version up at the moment

if you compare your index.php with any of the sample index.php's in the other templates. you haven't set up any of the Joomla variables for the paths or added the style sheets to the Joomla system?
