Hi,
I would like to know something…
after installing your quickstart template I found that you are adding some codes in the menus, pages etc…
If you didn’t added those codes, how can I know what and where to add it without installing the quickstart package?
and just to be clear with my question I will give you 2 samples:
SAMPLE A
inside the JM Mega Mene > Breakfast menu > Submenu Content > Custom block
you wrote:
{{block type="joomlart_jmproducts/list" name="home.jmproducts.simplelist" template="joomlart/jmproducts/simplelist.phtml" }}
If I didn’t use your quickstart package, how can I know that I need to write it??? what else can I write there? what are all the options I have?
SAMPLE B
go to --> CMS > Pages > Home page > Content Tab
you wrote:
{{block type="joomlart_jmproducts/list" name="home.jmproducts.list" template="joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml" }}
and inside the design tab you wrote:
<!-- Bottom Spotlight -- topsl -->
<reference name="topsl">
<block type="cms/block" name="position-1">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-1</block_id></action>
</block>
<block type="cms/block" name="position-2">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-2</block_id></action>
</block>
<block type="cms/block" name="position-3">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-3</block_id></action>
</block>
<block type="cms/block" name="position-4">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-4</block_id></action>
</block>
<block type="cms/block" name="position-5">

</block>
</reference>
<!-- Bottom Spotlight -- topsl -->
<reference name="left">
<block type="cms/block" name="left-banner">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>left-banner</block_id></action>
</block>
<block type="joomlart_jmproductsspotlight/list" name="jmproductsspotlight" template="joomlart/jmproductsspotlight/list.phtml" />

What is it you are wanting to accomplish that you cannot accomplish utilizing the quickstart installation process?
I’m afraid I’m not understanding the issue/problem …. yet
I would like to know all my option and what I can add and where…
how can I know what to write??? without having to install your quickstart????
I think that my question describe my problem… and what I want to know…
Well, the simple answer is …. upload the quickstart installation files into a folder or flash drive or whatever,
and then use THAT as a reference/learning tool for your "non-quickstart" install.
thanks for trying to help but this is not an answer to my question since my question was how to avoide using the quickstart and your answer is to use it?
My answer to you was to use the quickstart separately as a learning tool.
Honestly, I don’t understand what your animosity is to the quickstart tool.
Good luck with however else you elect to learn what you are trying to learn.
