How to typeset inside a Joomla template?

Question

Joomla

Tell me, the customer requested the layout exactly inside the existing joomla template. You need to typeset using gulp assembly. Tell me how to start, what exactly did he mean?

Answer 1

Depends on the template, layout design and what needs to be laid out. For example, if you need to make a landing page (without a header and footer), then all the html code can be placed directly in the Joomla content editor. And css is where it follows from the template documentation. Footer header - hook on to the existing markup in the template or create a template override with your own markup. If you need to make a store, it is to integrate the layout into the php files of the store. If the layout of a standard blog, then in most cases it is just a redefinition of CSS styles. Building gulp with preprocessors, as I understand it, directly in Joomla is hardly possible. But again, it depends on the template. In fact, you can make up locally by sending the compiled css file to the server.
In general, in most cases, layout in Joomla is not just html / css / js sawing in a wide stream, but integration into separate parts of the system in php files.
For example, I don't use gulp builds. I just connect VS Code via FTP, pull out and edit the necessary php, css, js files, if necessary, create template overrides using Joomla from the admin panel, before editing them in VS Code. I place the necessary classes in the right places through the admin panel again
