New page

The look-and-feel of a website reflects the website's identity and content. Therefore it is important for one to know and distinguish the difference between joomla! templates and jomsocial template. In order to have a complete look-and-feel of your site, you have to change both templates.<br />
Let's clarify here first. By analogy, Joomla! Platform is an operating system and the Jomsocial Component is the application in Joomla!. JomSocial is a Joomla! component. In Joomla!, there can only be one component displayed at a time.<br />
Now, Let's talk about Joomla! template. Joomla!'s templates can be found in Joomla!'s backend (Extensions -> Template Manager). You can go ahead and change the Joomla! template, it won't change the look-and-feel of the Jomsocial component.
