I got artisteer 3 to work with Joomla 1.6 in 8 minutes including testing in FF 3, 5 IE&, 8, 9 and 10 and IT WORKS!
I must admit I already had Joomla 1.6 installed. All I did was quickly create the first template suggestion Artiseer gave me > Exported as Zip file > Log into Joomla > Extension Manager > Upload package.
Before you set the template as default got to existing front end and add ?tp=1 to the url so you can see the div positions – Keep this window open!
Now change the template to the one you uploaded > Go to front end and add ?tp=1 to a new window so you can see the div positions… Compare the two
Now all you have to do is go to modules > search / filter by positions > Replace the positions for the old template with that of the new. Remember to assign the modules to pages as well in Menu Assignment (Just below where you change the position)
Easy! Hope this helps someone.
