Template parameters

You can also define parameters to control the behavior of your template as a super administrator. Template parameters are declared in templateDetails.xml. Parameter default values can be set in params.ini, which is also referenced in templateDetails.XML as a template<file>. This element takes a number of arguments, for example, type, name, default, description, and label, which depend on the types of parameters.

You can easily define a template parameter: add a<param> element for each parameter that you want to define and insert these between<params>...</params> tags. Place this at the bottom of the templateDetails.xml and before closing the</install> tag.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE install PUBLIC "-//Joomla! 1.5//DTD template 1.0//EN"
"http://www.joomla.org/xml/dtd/1.5/template-install.dtd">
<install version="1.5" type="template">
<name>jobsitetemplate</name>
<version>1...
