Existing Dreamweaver templates on Joomla website

[monae]

Hello,

I created a website using Dreamweaver templates for my client. The department website I created uses Dreamweaver (CS3) and the rest of the departments websites are using Joomla (I was told this after the fact). My questions are:

1. Will this create a problem or conflict? I was thinking I could upload my Templates and department folder directly using my FTP program.

2. I noticed there already is a "templates" folder with some folders and an index.html file. So, if I upload my files, will my files conflict because mine refer to "Templates" and the root folder is called "templates".

Any help on how to handle this would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
MonaE

1. Probably - it's always likely to be a problem using second-hand code.

2. Depends if the server is Windows or *NIX. Windows file/directory names are case-insensitive - *NIX are case sensitive.

Easy solution is to become a web builder rather than a copy/paster - that way you actually understand the stuff you create and these problems shouldn't arise in the first place.
