Signal Login Module

Once again, we have implemented the Signal Login module. The Signal Login module is installed using the procedure explained above. Once installed, we recommend publishing it to the top template position. The default options are fine as the module is styled from within the template.

Integrated RokSlide Tabbed Modules

For Chromatophore, we have integrated RokSlide into the core of the template so you have the RokSlide functionality in terms of tabs with stylish transitional effects with the modular layout of the template.

RokSlide by default has 5 tabs available. Each tab has a module position ranging from Advert1 to Advert5, respective to the individual tab. Therefore, you have a single modular position per tab but you have the option of applying multiple modules to a single position. For example, you can assign 3 modules to the Advert1 position and they will appear in a horizontal layout in Tab 1.

Configuration

Configuration of the integrated RokSlide itself is primarily controlled in the index.php with the other template
configurations. Below is a snippet related to the integrated rokslide:-

// module slider configuration

$modules_list  = array(array("title"=>"Group 1 Stuff", "module"=>"advert1"),

		 array("title"=>"Group 2 Panel", "module"=>"advert2"),

		 array("title"=>"Group 3 Collection", "module"=>"advert3"),


		 array("title"=>"Group 4 Assortment", "module"=>"advert4"),

		 array("title"=>"Group 5 Items", "module"=>"advert5"));

$max_mods_per_row     = 3;     // maximum number of modules per row 
                                 (adjust the height if this wraps)

With the setting $module_list, you can control the aspects of the integrated rokslide feature to a great extent. You can control the tab title and also the module position which appears in each of the tabs.
In the code snippet, we have 5 lines, each line controls a single tab. Each line is segregated into 2 distinct parts. These are "title"=>"Tab Title", which controls the Tab Title. The second part is "module"=>"Module Position"),

Module Slider Height

You can change the height for the Rokslide tabber in the template_css.css file.

#moduleslider-size {
height:220px;
}

Module Count

The module configuration variable below controls how many consecutive modules you can have for a position.

$max_mods_per_row = 3; // max number of modules per row
(if wraps, adjust height)

Adding new positions

With the integrated RokSlide, you will find that you may need to add extra module positions. These positions are User10, and Advert4-5. These are not available by default in Joomla so you will need to create these yourself. To do this, follow the instructions below:-

1. Login into the Joomla administrator
2. Navigate to Site -> Template Manager -> Module Positions
3. In the column called Positions, find a blank field
4. Insert the names and proceed to the next field and type the other positions
5. Select Save
