Joomla templates and extensions club

To make sure your template is setup correctly, please make sure you read through the template guide thoroughly. We have made the template as customisable as possible and all our css is fully commented.

Before You Start:

Once you have successfully downloaded your template, you will need to extract the zip archive to your local computer, using a free archive utility like 7zip (PC) or MacZip (Mac), extract the contents on the zip (named something along the lines of "ExtractMe-TemplateName.zip" onto your computer.

Step 1.) Installing just the Template.

1. Go to "Installers > Template Site"
2. Browse for the template zip file in the Template Install folder.
3. Click "Upload File and Install".
4. Click "Continue..."
5. In the Template Manager, select the new template's radio box and click on the "Default" button (top right).

The template will now be successfully installed

Step 2.) Configuring the Modules

Now that you have the template working, we need to go over some things you have to do in order to get it looking the way we want. You may find the menus look different etc this is because your install of Joomla has setting that are not configured for the template.

1. The left menu navigation

Whichever menu you decide to put there, the 4th option needs to be set to "FLAT LIST" in the parameters of the module (see the tutorial above for help if needed).

2. The top tabbed menu

Whichever menu you decide to put here, the 4th option needs to be set to "FLAT LIST" in the parameters of the module (see the tutorial above for help if needed). The module position is user3 and has a suffix of "-topnav".

3. Bottom Footer Menu

Whichever menu you decide to put here, the 4th option needs to be set to "FLAT LIST" in the parameters of the module (see the tutorial above for help if needed). The module position is footer and has a suffix of "-footermenu".

3. Module positions

If you need to know the module positions, add ?tp=1 to the end of the url in the browser and they will be displayed for example: http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?tp=1. As on the demo website: http://joomlajunkie.com/supremacy/index.php?tp=1

In order for a module to show up in the place you want, ensure the module is set to that position on the template, here is a break down of the module positions.

** Using the Inset Modules:

To use the inset module positions you need to create the 2 module positions "inset-bot" and "inset-top". To do this, simply login to your Joomla backend and from the top navigation select Site > Template Manager > Module Positions and add a position for "inset-top" and "inset-bot". Once you have created the 2 module positions, just assign and publish the modules you would like displayed to those positions. Please remember to add a module suffix "-inset-top" or " -inset-bot" to the module that is published to the inset positions for it t

4. Module Suffixes

To set a module to have a green header set the parameter of the module, to have a suffix of -green

To set a module to have a blue header set the parameter of the module, to have a suffix of -blue

5. Image reflection

class="reflect" is what makes the reflection. src=" must be the path to the image on your server.

The reflection uses javascript to alter the image and add code to the page to make it work, it does not work in all browsers as older ones dont support the methods it uses to generate the reflection!! It is based on an open source script, more information can be found here http://cow.neondragon.net/stuff/reflection/. If you have problems using the reflection, you are best of checking his website and blog for some ideas.

7. Header Rotator.
For this you need to install the header module included, in the modules folder in the template complete zip. The module is called, mod_jw_ajaxhr_1.1.zip. Instructions on how to use this will be given in the module.

Important note: usage of this template is strictly for one domain only!!! please read our terms of use page on our website for more information!
