i want to make a new joomla template, i dropped into that but i am confused now.
i want to know where is the joomla autogenerated css class list.
for example i insert a module in template and what is the css class for example for menu title or the css class for search input box or what is the default css class for readmore link in main.
i found a little in joomla doc but i want the whole list
I fail to understand how you are prepared to make a Joomla template which is far more complex than a plain CSS template, yet you are unable to find the necessary CSS files. You said you wanted to make a new template therefore shouldn't you know where you have put the CSS file?
You are in dire need of Firebug for starters. Have a look at all it's features. It will help you to find CSS files and the specific line you need to edit.
I assume you are editing someone elses template in which case this is the sort of location you will be looking for.
templates/you_template/css/file.css
It varies with different template so I suggest you download Firebug as I suggested above.

Although I'm from WordPress, I need to make a slight change on an old Joomla Website for a friend of mine.
The site is: http://aja-architekten.de
I need to eliminate the footer Popup which says "Wir sind umgezogen".
I know there might be a thousand ways to implement this in Joomla, but what is the plugin or module in the code!
It's difficult to identify without back-end access to the website as it could be a module, a plugin, or even hard coded into the index.php file of the template or similar.
If it's not obvious, the easiest work around might be to add some code to a custom CSS file like this or similar:
#ca_banner {
display: none !important;
}
To create a custom CSS file using a Warp theme, create custom.css in the /css subfolder in the relevant template folder.
My code is this:
When i toggle the editor I have:
Where have I got it wrong?
From your title, I am assuming any <link> tag is being stripped.
Link tags are only valid in the head of the page, and TinyMCE is set to use the HTML5 specification by default when it tidies code, so presumably it is removing them due to their invalidity in the body of the page.
You could probably configure the code of TinyMCE to do what you want (see: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:valid_children), but as that does not seem to be possible via Joomla's plug-in parameters, it would mean overriding a core file, which may then cause problems should you patch the site.
One alternative would be to turn off Tiny MCE, and add the code via the blank editor.
Ideally, it sounds like you should be creating a bespoke module in which the link element can go in the head of the page as it should be.
Im trying to locate certain javascript code in the codebase with no luck. This code appears in the head of every page. Note that it isnt a link to a file but certain code embedded in the head. I have tried the following ways but no luck
local.xml
head.phtml
page.phtml and all page templates
page.xml
Text search in codebase with keyword and
keyword '{variablename}'
Database search keyword '{variablename}'
but no results so far
Have a missed something? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

Assuming that the page templates still generally reflect the native Magento structure, if it's in the <head> of the page, then it can only be coming from one of three places:
The page template (1column.phtml, 3columns.phtml, etc.).
The <head> include file head.phtml.
An include of one of the first two.
I know you said you already looked in both of those places, but you can help narrow down the source by comparing what you can see in those locations with what you see in the generated page source. Is the analytics code you're trying to locate before or after something you can see in those template files?
Also make sure that you're looking in the template files of the correct theme.
Ok got it.. it was under System>Config>Design>Misc Scripts
I can't find a answer for this, I want to know what is the best way to have an alternative layouts for articles in Joomla.
If I understand you correctly you are looking for a way to create additional Alternative Layouts for articles. Under parameter tab "Article Options":
If that is the case, its very close to the other provided answers here. Its just that you got to rename the copied default.php file to something else. If you rename it to custom.php it will end up with the text "custom" like the image above.
Here goes my shot for a step by step:
Find the default layout file(s). You could use the ones provided by the com_content component. They can be found at components/com_content/views/article/tmpl. Copy both default.php and default_links.php.
Now you need to rename and copy the file(s) into a template. The target template can be any of the installed templates. Using beez_20 the new path for the copied file(s) should be templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/custom_links.php.
Goto to edit article using the backend. Expand the Article Options tab and find Alternative Layout. Select your new layout.
Your template might already provide a article override. If so, you might want to use the files of that template instead (instead of the ones in step 1). So if you are using beez_20, you could copy templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default.php and templates/beez_20/html/com_content/article/default_links.php.

Using Joomla’s Template and Layout Override
Layout overrides in Joomla 1.6
The best way to do this would either to install another content component - such as k2 which is highly customizable. Or any other content component on JED.
Alternatively you could create a template override on the existing Joomla Template. This is preferable to editing the files directly in com_content component as the template overrides will never be overwritten whereas the core files will be in any Joomla Updates. I should add, hopefully unnecessarily that this requires Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 or 3.0 (although this is still in beta as of present). So make sure you're not using 1.0.
To create an alternative layout for the built in articles component the best way to do it is probably to create a template over-ride.
See this article on docs.joomla.org on "How to override the output from the Joomla! core"
Creating an alternative for an article layout is pretty straight forward. You can achieve this by using the core layout override with your published template(s).
First you want to get/copy the core article layout file:
components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php
Then place it into your published template:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_content/article/default.php
If the template you are using doesn't have the html folder, then you will have to create that folder and each folder to make that path correct.
Once you have this in place, all you need to do is make changes to that default.php file you have just place in the template and that is it!
I am new to Pyrocms and reading the documentation I could not change fix my problem. I need my own template to be incorporated that is I want to change the default one provided. How can I do that. I really need a help.
Go into:
system/cms/themes/default/
This is the folder where you can find the default template of pyrocms. There you will see folders like "views, css, js, img" etc.
You can start by modifying views/layouts/default.html and views/partials/ folder.
Ofcourse if you need to change css and/or js you need to modify them too.
By the way this is the official pyrocms documentation for editing themes:
