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 choose the width of your website and the width of each menu item ?

In Template manager, you can set the width of your website, the width of each menu item (for the main menu) and the width of left and rigth column.

On my demo, there's 6 parent items in the main menu. I set a width of 164 pîxels for of them and a website width of 984 pixels (because 164 x 6 = 984). Like that, the width of the main menu is the same as the website.
And I choose a width of 164 pixels for left and rigth column too.

How to display your logo ?

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

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 :

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

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 and 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) :

How to add a new background image for the header ?

You must add your new image (format .jpg, .gif or .png) in the folder "images/background" of the template. The new image will be automatically availbale in Template manager.

Customize the template

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