How to display the slogan in the header ?

There are 2 ways to display a slogan :

• A static text : go to the template manager and write your slogan in Template manager (section "header"). The text is align on the right for desktop and it's centered in small resolution.

• Use a slideshow like on the Home page.
  You can download the responsive slideshow on my website.

  
  

  Install the module and edit it :

  • choose the position : "slogan"
  
  

  Thesse are my settings :

  
  
  
  

  What is the available size for the slogan ?

  The slogan is positionned absolutely. So the height will be limited : no more of the logo. The width is 50% of your website width - 60px (for the padding in each side). So if your website width is 980px, the width of the slogan is (980/2) - 60 = 430 pixels.

  
  

  Ok, but how is it possible to align my slideshow on the right side like on your Home page ?

  I create several transparent images with a size of 430 * 30 pixels and write the text on the right side.
  Note : in small resolution, the slideshow slogan will be always on the right side. So you can add a special Module class suffix (visible-desktop) to unpublish it. If you want, you can publish a second slideshow slogan only for small resolution with this type of Module class suffix.

  How is it possible to publish a slideshow slogan on the Home page and a static text on others pages ?

  Edit the slideshow module and set the option "menu assignment" only on the Home page.

  How to align the slogan with my logo ?

  You can set the margin top of the module position "slogan" in Template manager (section "Header")

  I want remove the grey background or change the text align. Where is this CSS code ?

  This code is line 524 of "css/template.css"

  How to obtain the Home page of the demo ?

  I create a special module position "image" to display a slideshow on all the website width. When this module position is published, the others aren't loaded (left, right, userX and main_component).

  
  

  I think it's interesting to put a text above or under this slideshow. So I added 2 additionnal module position : "top" and "bottom"
  In the demo, I create a Custom HTML module with the postion "bottom" (module class suffix "grey title-centered text-centered").
  Warning : the position "top" and "bottom" work only if the position "image" is published. You can't use it with a standard page

  
  
  

  
  

  How to display the slideshow of 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 :

  
  

  
  

  What is the module position to display the slideshow above each article in the others pages ?

  I use the position "user2

  Animations

  This template use the script ScrollReveal to display a fade animation in each part of your template. Animations use CSS3 so that work only on modern browsers.

  You can animate 22 differents module positions as you want. Each animation can be enable or disable.
  You can use my settings or customize each animation as you want. The syntax is very friendly : all the possibilities are described here.

  
  

  Is it possible to active an effect only on a specific page(s) ?

  Yes it's possible. In Template manager, you must duplicate the template. Then, you can set an unique animation and assign this copy to your specific page with the optiopn "Menu assignement".

  Tips for the user modules

  In the template manager, you can choose the width for user1 and user3. The width of user2 automatically adjusts.
  

  So, if you publish only one user module : publish user2 (for a width of 100%).
  

  If you publish two users module : publish user1 and user2, or user2 and user3.

  
  

  It's the same thing for user4, user5 and user6

  Tips for your images

  By default, a border is added around all your images in your articles. You can disable this option in the section "General" of Template manager.

  If you want add this border only on specific images, disable this option and add the class "js-border" in the HTML code of your image.

  If you want remove this border only on specific images, enable this option and add the class "no-style" in the HTML code of your image.

  
  

  
  

  Customize the template

  You can put all your custom code in the file "css/custom.css".

  This does not affect your site, but if you want remove this link, you must edit the file "index.php" and delete the line 533 in the end :

  <?php echo $js ; ?>
