Geo-Sync2April 2006 Bonus Joomla Template
Geo-Sync2 is a Bonus Joomla Template in the RocketTheme Template Club. We received numerous requests from our existing club members to create a full-width version of the venerable Geo-Sync design, and now your wishes have been answered. Geo-Sync2 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-Sync2 comes with 5 color variations. Other features include CSS font-sizer as used on joomla.org, as well as many collapsible module positions.

RTSplitMenu Information
The split-menu system uses the mainmenu menu 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 the left a the top of the left column when you click on the top-level.
