i have the following task and i don’t know how to proceed. My copnay has many html templates for websites . we have our own Linux server for web hosting .
we mainly use php and or joomla for websites.
Now my company wants to build a master system or web interface (if safe)
where on first screen i have various templates to choose then next page i have screen to enter the site names dbname etc and site gets automatically generated with sample data and then my manager can chnage with actual data.
There may be few more things but if anyone can guide me how to achieve this
thanks
You can use a so called autoinstaller. There are ready made solutions for this kind of scenario around : Softaculous, Fantastico, Installatron, cPanel and so on.
Two are explicitly mentioned on the Joomla Documentation :
http://docs.joomla.org/Installing_Joomla_using_an_AutoInstaller
Fantastico https://netenberg.com/#fantastico.html (90$)
Softaculous http://www.softaculous.com/ (24$ / Free)
As for the templates you can put them into the installed package and choose later on or create different Packages, or use a fronted template chooser extension for Joomla.
