please i am a new user of joomla...and i need help with this

Well as your local server uses php 5.3 and commands and functions used in 1.5 template are no longer available in php 5.3. Simply they are removed/replaced or soon to be removed. So either use 2.5 version of the template/joomla or downgrade your php version.

See you around...

thanks for your reply

which php version would you recommend?

and i don't think gavick has that very worldnews1 templates on joomla 2.5... i have seen the worldnews 2 template but didnt really like it

thanks again

Any version less then 5.3 should work. So v5.2xx should be ok. See you around...

Norman You the man!!!!

it works

Thanks man

No problem at all, see you around...

Can you tell me how are you doing that php5.2 ? Because I have the same problem.
Step by step pls
Thanks
