Hi Brian,

When I first tried the original Teline (not Teline II) in 2007, I got a fatal error too. I knew how to install a Joomla site, on my own, by then -- even before I joined Joomlart.

Unfortunately, that was no my first experience when I tried the Joomla 1.0,x-Teline QuickStart kit. If I am not mistaken, I got a 404 error too. When I asked question in the forum, I showed a link to a sample Joomla installation I performed, not using a Joomlart template, to thwart the direction that the error might be a lack of understanding of the "QuickStart Installation". Still, I got platitude answers, like I suggested to you in the Forum.:)

It was very frustrating several days because I was not getting the correct analysis of the error message I got. Some bigwigs in the Forum then got annoyed when I shot down some of their suggestions -- mostly dealing with installation errors, in spite of my link to a functional Joomla site.

It took me four (4) fresh installed new sites (including a fresh download of the kit to eliminate fidelity of transmission random errors). I stumbled into the cause of the problem, by serendipity. When I viewed the tutorial of a browser-based installation of another template. I decided to download the said template, and installed it myself. It worked. Long story, there was a single file in the Teline that was not in the template that installed correctly. When I removed that file in the Teline, it worked.

The Pros and Cons of Uploading an Uncompressed Software.

Thie 404 error, and what turned out to be s simple bad file causing the problem was the reason why I always unpack what I download, perform a cursory inspection of the files and directories -- before I upload it. [I don't compress it again, as you inquired. It takes much much longer to upload an uncompressed file, but usually I am doing other stuff -- like or take a break while that is happening.] Similarly, I perform another cursory inspection after the upload, to ensure fidelity of transmission.

Mac OS related issue. One problem if you use a Mac, and

Now, it is because I have a very customized site (css, some key files), so it is easier to integrate the corrections before the installation.

Newsflash

The one thing about a Web site, it always changes! Joomla! makes it easy to add Articles, content, images, videos, and more. Site administrators can edit and manage content 'in-context' by clicking the 'Edit' link. Webmasters can also edit content through a graphical Control Panel that gives you complete control over your site.

Exclusive Contents for Charter Members & Subscribers

Excluding the Intro Text from the Full Text of an Article

A very powerful technique in Joomla 1.0.x was the capability to have a different introductory text and/or the image that you may not to be the same introduction of the full article. To demonstrate this feature, in Joomla 1.5.x, click on the title of this article.

How to perform this and the potentials and implications of this feature will be presented to registered (subscriber) members of the BS-CSG Joomla University.
