How to display the background image ?

You must install the module "mod_background.zip"

Edit this module ("Background") in Module manager and choose your image. Choose the module position "background"

Note 01 : You must upload your image in the folder "images" of your Joomla website (not the folder "images" of the template).

Note 02 : I recommend you to choose a large image. At least 1800 * 1200 pixels. To compress the picture , you can use the website JPEG Optimizer .

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 CSS Bootstrap file.
• You want use Bootstrap animations : load CSS and JS Bootstrap files and Jquery library

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

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 plugin to prevent a javascript conflict.

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) :

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 (line 397) :

<?php echo $js ; ?>
