About
This program has been developed to be a simple help utility for Joomla! 1.5 template developers. Main goal was to make a sort of stand-alone replacement for various third-party extensions and plugins designed for more complex web editors. As being a stand-alone application this program can be used in any program that can handle plain text.

- Stand-alone (it can be used on any known control that can handle text)
- Open Source
- Quick and easy access to Joomla! Template PHP Code
- Quick and easy creation of basic Joomla! CSS Code
- Easily open, edit and save Joomla! templateDetail.xml file
System Requirements
Joomla! 1.5 Template Toolbar requires latest Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed on your Windows system and latest Mono Framework on systems running Linux (UNIX) or Mac. Note that the development of the Linux (UNIX) and Mac version has been put on hold.
Installation and Uninstallation
Program is distributed in “run-delete-forget” philosophy. All you have to do is extract the files from the compressed archive, place the extracted files wherever you like and delete them when you have no more use of the program itself or any of the extracted files.
Program also creates an entry inside your System Registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JTT) upon first run. In order to fully uninstall JTT, you have to delete the created entry from your System Registry.
Usage
Joomla! 1.5 Template Toolbar design layout is intended to be self-explanatory. The program consists of four main buttons. First, Insert Module, opens a popup menu displaying the most common Joomla! 1.5 Template Modules. By clicking on a module name, defined Joomla! PHP code is being copied to a clipboard so you can simply paste it into your template code. Second button, Insert CSS, copies basic CSS code that you can use to change the look and feel of various template regions. XML Editor button opens a templateDetails.xml file editor where you can easily open, edit and create XML file from which Joomla! 1.5 Template System is reading the template information. Options button displays a popup menu from which you can either change program options or display the Help & About window.
