i have just bought this component over the weekend and have been trying to the templates working and reading the forum and watching the tutorials but until now i have not been able to get it working.

i just want to make sure that my setup will work with this system - my hosting do not allow symbolic links and thus i am installing the slave in the same dir as the master.

the template i am using is a Joomlart T3 template JA Community Plus - could you please confirm that i am able to use this template on the system.

You can use the T3 in your system but they will share the same parameters for all the websites. T3 Framework save the configuration of the templates in their directory.

As you don't have the Symbolic Link available, it will be more difficult to have specific configuration for each "T3" template.
