There are differences in the backend, a lot of them!!

1. CMSMS is much more transparent than JOOMLA, you know what you are doing

2. CMSMS-templates are mostly better, standard-compliant etc.

If you want to use the design of a Joomla!-Template, keep the CSS, use the classes and ids and integrate that in a CMSMS-template.

I have converted joomla template to work ion cmsms and they have way too many extra things not needed class calls and all, I just made a screen shot of it and sliced/coded it myself...

How about converting a template by first viewing it in a browser, and then saving it as an html file, and then converting the html file to a template?

[Dr.CSS]

I had all the files for it, they paid for the template, but it was way to convoluted and had too many divs, the images were broken up like it was table based etc. etc., in the end it was just easier and quicker to do a screen shot and work from there...

I've found the easiest way to convert Joomla and Wordpress themes to CMSMS is:

1. Install the theme on joomla & create some content pages.  I keep an install of Joomla and and install of Wordpress on my XAMPP server just for this purpose.

2. View the Joomla site in the web browser.

3. Hit CTRL-U to see the HTML source.  Copy this to your HTML editor and start start adding/substituting CMSMS Smarty Tags, and cutting parts out to put in news template, etc.
