Module Positions

With this template, you can play with module positions for obtain 3 effects :

• The standard display of Joomla with menus, left and right column, main_component, ...
• The Home page without the middle website (like in the demo)

Standard module positions :

Example for the "adress" 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 "adress".

Extras module positions (like page "product" of the demo) :

You have 4 extras module positions for display a text or a module above the slideshow and only that. Note : When one of this module position is active, the middle website (with your articles) isn't loaded. So, don't forget the Menu assignment.

You must :

• Install and edit this module
• Select the position : "supersized"

Note 1 : I recommend you a ratio of 4:3 and a size of 1200*900 or 1600*1200 pixels.

How to display the Google map in full screen as on the demo ?

I wanted a module very easy to use. So I chose to display the standard Google map and you can create it in less than a minute !

How to publish your google map ?

• First : you must create a link to this module. But it's not possible to make that with Joomla. So, you must create a new article "google_map". After that, go to the Menu manager and create a new item to this article (link "article --> single article").
• You have now a link to this article.
• Install the module "mod_google_map.zip" (you can find it in the package). Edit this module and choose the position "google_map", and don't forget to set the Menu assignement :
  
  

note : when you publish a module with the position "google_map", the content box isn't loaded.

In the "simple Google map" you must enter the URL of your map and only that.

Go to the Google maps

Choose your location and click on the "parameters" icon :

In the new window, copy the URL and paste it on your Joomla module :

Module class suffix :

Options for displaying your modules in the "left", "right" or "user" positions :

• Without module class suffix : No styling for your list and the links.
• With the module class suffix " link" : you add an arrow before your link.
• With the module class suffix " border" : you add a border around your module.
• With the module class suffix " dark" : you add a soft grey background.
• With the module class suffix " light" : you add a soft light background.
• With the module class suffix " shadow" : you add a shadow under the module.
• With the module class suffix " color" : to display the module title with the same color as your color theme.

Note 1 : You can enter several Module class suffix. Per example I enter "shadow light border" .

Extra Module class suffix for mobiles

For faster mobile-friendly development, use these utility classes for showing and hiding content by device. More details here

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 user modules : publish user4 and user5, or user5 and user6.

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

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 ; ?>
