Joomla Club Templates

Quantive April 2010 Joomla Template

QuantiveQuantive, the April 2010 Template Club release, encapsulates the notion of simply complex, featuring a more subtle and conservative design, in contrast to other 2010 releases. Naturally, the Gantry Framework forms the core of the theme, driving the complex mechanisms and features that lie beneath.

Stylistic choice is another key aspect of the release, with its 8 CSS style choices, each of which can come in either light or dark body styling, as noted in the 10 preset style variations, providing true design choice and flexibility.

NOTICE: Quantive is a Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.7 template.

RTL Support

Template side RTL support from the Fusion menu to the Typography. This is in conjunction with Gantry's RTL support for the automatic flipping of the grid system.

If Joomla is set to RTL mode, in its language settings, the Quantive template will automatically adjust to its RTL layout. The modules will invert inside a row, such as showcase-a and showcase-f being in alternate locations; the various template elements such as the breadcrumbs and typography will also flip; and also the menu will adjust accordingly (ensure you are using the latest version of RokNavMenu however).

All images sources in the Adobe® Fireworks PNG format.
