Documentation

In the package, you have :

This manual
The template
The responsive slideshow of this demo

Introduction

I don't provide any quickstart install. Don't worry. Read this manual and follow the steps in the next paragraph
"How to obtain the Home page of the demo ?"
To customize the appearance of your website, read carefully the paragraph "Module positions" and "Module class
suffix".
And before launching your website, I recommend you to verify the result in all screen resolutions. It's simple :
resize the window of your browser and look the difference. To adjust the result, you have some important options
in the section "Responsive options in Template manager".

How to obtain the Home page of the demo ?

I installed the slideshow and publish it in the module position "top" (more details in the section "slideshow"
)
I published the menu (position "menu" - see next paragraph "How to configure your menus")
I made no change in Template manager
I created an article with 2 paragraph and 2 titles H2. In menu manager, the type of the link "Home" is
"article --> single article". I select this article and in the section "Page display", I add " title-80" in the field
"Page class". Like that, the title of my article is above the slideshow.
I published 2 others menu in Module manager : the first one with the module position "top_menu" and the
second with the module position "bottom_menu".

Template Settings

You can access to template manager with the top menu : "Extensions --> Template Manager --> joomspirit_123

How to display your logo ?

You have 3 possibilities :

By default, it's the website name in the section "Header" of Template manager. You can change the font,
the size and the color
Or in the same section, you can choose/upload an image for your logo. It's the first option of the section
"Header"
For more freedom, you can create a new module with the type Custom HTML . Choose the position "logo"
and put your image or text with the wysiwyg editor. With this last option, you can per example, display a
logo for desktop and another image for small screen. More details in the Responsive section here.

Note : you can adjust the position of your logo in Template manager (section "Header").

Tips and customization

Tip : How to display an article title above the slideshow like here
?

To obtain that, I edit the menu item of this page and I add the page class " title-80" in the section "Page display"
:

http://www.template-joomspirit.com/help/template_123/manual.html 7/12
9/25/2017 Manual

With this code the title will go up 80 pixels. It's enough with the size of my title but it's perhaps not a good
distance for you. So I include a lot of possibilities ; you can add " title-40", " title-50", " title-60", ... until " title-
150".
You can choose a specific font size, color and shadow for this type of title in Template manager (section "Content
box").

Restrictions

This option work fine if none module is published between your article and the slideshow. Per example, you
mustn't use it if you publish a module with the position "user_1", "user_2" or "user_3".
That work with component page too (single contact, category blog, ...) but when you edit your menu item, you
must display the "page heading" in the section "page display" and you must add an empty space before the Page
class.
Note : This option is disable when the screen width is less than 600 pixels.

Tip : don't forget the option "Menu assignement"

This option is available for all modules and templates. It's a very powerful option and I recommend you to use it !
With this option, you can published a module or a template only on selected page(s). And you can duplicate any
module or template.
So if you want modify the settings of your template only on few pages, it's possible and very easy with this
option.

Tips for the user modules

In the template manager, you can choose the width for user1 and user2. The width of user3 automatically
adjusts.
So, if you publish only one user module : publish user3 (for a width of 100%).
If you publish two users module : publish user1 and user3, or user2 and user3.

code of your image.

HTML code of your image.
