Extremities 2February 2006 Joomla Template

Extremities As the first Joomla template to be released under the new RocketTheme name, we decided to do something a bit different this month. The February 2006 template is called Extremities 2 and is a 'grunge' inspired template that is a perfect fit for all kinds of sites including those that focus on personal blog, sports, outdoors, music, photography, etc. This template is highly configurable and there are several options and features to provide you with that unique look.

RTSplitMenu Information

The split menu system uses the mainmenu by default and this menu is configured in the administrator. 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 in a submenu in the side navigation when you click on a top-level item.
