Joomla Templates - Join the RocketTheme Joomla Templates Club

Geo-Sync is the December 2005 RocketTheme Template Club design. With a pure css, tableless design and great features, it’s another fantastic addition to the club. Geo-Sync uses the RocketTheme Split-Menu system to provide a unique way to navigate your site. Not only does it allow you to keep the ‘area’ tab highlighted when in a sublevel element, but also it allows each tab to have it’s own unique color scheme. By default Geo-Sync comes with 5 color variations. Other features include CSS font-sizer as used on joomla.org, as well as many collapsible module positions.

An overview of the key features of this template are as follows:

• Joomla 1.0+ compatible
• Mambo 4.5.2/4.5.3 compatible

Split-Menu information

The split-menu system uses the mainmenu menu configured in the admin administator. For this to function correctly understand that the ‘top level’ menu items will show up as the horizontal buttons across the top of the template. For sub menu items, assign Parent Item to these top menus to the top-level item. These will then show up on the left a the top of the left column when you click on the top-level. For an example of this check out the demo server

Instructions

1. Install as normal using the Site Templates Installer
2. Configure the main menu as described above. I suggest a maximum of 7 top level elements depending on their length for optimal presentation. NOTE: The colors will repeat if you have more than 5.
3. Follow the Module Position guide below to see the available module positions and place your modules accordingly.
4. For user4, Please use a menu in “user4” position with the type set to “flat”
5. For the search box, set the search module with “inset” module position
6. I suggest having at least 2 or 3 modules in the “right” position at all time to provide suitable balance.
