При установке некоторых шаблонов в joom 1.7 навигация по страницам "pagination" может выглядеть в столбик, что бы это исправить необходимо создать файл pagination.php в utf-8 без bom с текстом

/**
* This is a file to add template specific chrome to pagination rendering.
* pagination_list_footer * Input variable $list is an array with offsets:
* $list[limit] : int
* $list[limitstart] : int
* $list[total] : int
* $list[limitfield] : string
* $list[pagescounter] : string
* $list[pageslinks] : string
*
* pagination_list_render
* Input variable $list is an array with offsets:
* $list[all]
* [data] : string
* [active] : boolean
* $list[start]
* [data] : string
* [active] : boolean
* $list[previous]
* [data] : string
* [active] : boolean
* $list[next]
* [data] : string
* [active] : boolean
* $list[end]
* [data] : string
* [active] : boolean
* $list[pages]
* [{PAGE}][data] : string
* [{PAGE}][active] : boolean
*
* pagination_item_active
* Input variable $item is an object with fields:
* $item->base : integer
* $item->link : string
* $item->text : string
*
* pagination_item_inactive
* Input variable $item is an object with fields:
* $item->base : integer
* $item->link : string
* $item->text : string
*
* This gives template designers ultimate control over how pagination is rendered.
*
* NOTE: If you override pagination_item_active OR pagination_item_inactive you MUST override them both

и положить его в папку html шаблона

далее прописать в css следующий код
