Module Positions

Example for the "address" position : go to the module manager and create a new module with the option "custom html". Write your address or/and copyright and choose the position "address".

How to display your logo ?

To insert your logo, you must edit the file "images/logo.png" in the template. Insert your image or text inside with your Image software (If you haven't that, I recommend you the free software Gimp).
Keep the same size and the transparency and save the new image "logo.png". Replace this image in the folder "images" of the template.

This is the default image "logo.png" :

Is it possible to display another image for the logo ?

Yes, you can replace your own image instead of the original "logo.png". But you must keep the same name "logo.png" and the same size : 240 * 240 pixels.
I recommend you to create a transparent png image with this size (240*240) and put your own logo inside.

How to display the slideshow on the demo ?

You can download this responsive slideshow on my website.

Install the module and edit it :

• choose the position : "image"

Thesse are my settings :

Bootstrap & Jquery

The template work perfectly without Bootstrap and Jquery.

• You want a light website and no additionnal features : don't load these files
• You want use only some basic typography of Bootstrap : load only "Bootstrap" file.
• You want use Bootstrap animations : load "Bootstrap" and "Jquery" files

Note : the version of Jquery is 1.8.1
If you use another extension using Jquery , I recommend you to load only once the Jquery library. In this case, you can turn off the library in the extension or in the template

Note 2 : There's a lot of possibility with Bootstrap and it's for advanced users or developper. My support don't include the utilisation of Bootstrap.

Tips for the user modules

In the template manager, you can choose the width for user4 and user6. The width of user5 automatically adjusts.

So, if you publish only one user module : publish user5 (for a width of 100%).

If you publish two users module : publish user4 and user5, or user5 and user6.

It's the same thing for user1, user2, user3.

Tips for your images

You can add the class "shadow" for your images if you want obtain a shadow around (see the page "flexibility and simplicity" of the demo) :

Javascript conflict

If you use another extension with Jquery, I recommend you to install the free plugin "Jquery easy" and load this library only with this pugin to prevent a javascript conflict.

Link

To continue to offer affordable prices, I decided to display a soft Copyright in the bottom left corner to increase awareness of the site JoomSpirit.

This does not affect your site, but if you want remove this link, you must edit the file "index.php" and delete this line in the end :

<?php echo $js ; ?>
