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 ?

In this template, you choose if you want insert your logo or just write your site name (by default) :

• To change the site name, go to the template manager and write your text (section "Header").
• To insert your logo, you must create a new module (option "custom html"), insert your logo inside (with the wysiwyg editor). Choose the position "logo" and publish it. The size of your logo is free if nothing is published in the module position "slogan". If you publish the module "slogan" (with a menu or a text), the available width for your logo is half of your website width.

The module position "Slogan"

The width of this module position is 48% of your website width (align on the right side with a margin right of 1%).

There are several possibilities. You can :

• Display a slogan : In Template manager, write your slogan in the section "Header". The text is align to the right side. That work only if none module is published with the position "slogan".
• Display a menu (only 1 level of links) : Create a new module with the type "menu". Choose the position "slogan" and select your menu in the list.
• Or you can published the module of your choice.

Important : You can set the margin top of this module position in Template manager ( section "Header" ).
The height of the slogan mustn't be more higher than your logo.

How to obtain the Home page of the demo ?

I create a special module position "image" to display a slideshow on all the content box. When this module position is published, the others aren't loaded (left, right, user1, user2, user3, user4, user5, user6 and main_component).
But you can use the position "top", "bottom", user7, user8 and user9. In the Home page demo, I use the position user8 to publish a text.

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"

Tips : I recommend you to read the page "How to use" in the slideshow demo.

Note : I choose the module position "image" for the Home page. For others page, 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 23 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".

Bootstrap

The template is build with Bootstrap 3.1.1.

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 and user7, user8, user9

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.

This does not affect your site, but if you want remove this link, you must edit the file "index.php" and delete the line 561 in the end :

<?php echo $js ; ?>
