This template has logic inside it which is incompatible with Elxis cms.
I don't know why the creator of this template added logic to it. It does not make any sence.
Also there is a variable named $color which passed into script without any validation. It is very low risk but the $color should be validated before use.

The most important is that this template uses mambo's/joomla's access/language system.
Elxis is a multilingual system and also has an advanced access system.


DO NOT use this template with Elxis!

that's means, that some joomla & mambo templates can't use with elxis ?

Normally any mambo/joomla template fits to Elxis. But the specific template is out of the standards both for Elxis and mambo/joomla. The idea behind templates is to easily alter the site's appearence without messing up with php code. The specific template breaks these standards and it has php logic in it (function, db querries etc). And most important is that messes up with the access system. Do not use it with Elxis OR converted to Elxis compatible trying to remove as much php code as you can.
