A guide to the basic MediaMogul customisation options that can be configured in the template index.php file with a description of each of the available options and how they affect the presentation of the template.

Here is a breakdown of the available options:

$sidebar_width 		= "250";	 // width in px
$sidebar_side		= "right";	 // left | right

							array("title"=>"Group 3 Title", "module"=>"user14"),

Default Style

MediaMogul has 8, pre-made styles that can be easily selected from the option shown below. Simply change the settings between the two " " tags to your style of choice.

$default_style = "style1"; //custom | [style1...style6]

RokZoom Enabled

RokZoom, a powerful and presentationally excellent script can sometimes come into conflict with other javascript libraries, you can disable it with the following settings.

$enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false

Template Width

You have the ability to select, with ease, the width of the template. The setting below is what you edit to either reduce or increase templates width.

$template_width = "966"; // width in px | fluid

Menu Name

The following parameter controls which Joomla! menu is loaded for the horizontal navigation bar. Therefore, you can use a custom menu instead of a default menu such "tab-menu" or use another default menu such as "topmenu".

$menu_name ="mainmenu";  // mainmenu by default

Menu Type

MediaMogul has 4 options for the horizontal navigation bar. You can either, select moomenu, the latest menu addition; suckerfish, the basic vertical dropdown menu; splitmenu, the popular classic or have the area as a separate module position.

$menu_type = "moomenu"; // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu | module

Module Slider Height

This setting controls the height of the Module Slider in pixels.

$module_slider_height = 200;   // height in px

Module Count

The module configuration variable below controls how many consecutive modules you can have for a position.

$max_mods_per_row = 3; // max number of modules per row (if wraps, adjust height)

The PNGfix

You can turn off or on the pngfix with this setting.

$enable_pngfix= "false";	// true | false

Sidebar width

With the following setting, you can control the width of the sidebar with one simple setting.

$sidebar_width= "250";       // width in px

Sidebar Location

With this setting, choose to have the sidebar placed on the left or right of the mainbody. The name of the module positions changes to reflect left or right.

$sidebar_side= "right";	// left | right

Default Font

Based on your own personal preference, or the preference of your users; you can easily set the default font size with this setting below:-

$default_font ="default";   // smaller | default | larger

Show Pathway

This setting controls whether the pathway appears on your site.

$show_pathway= "false";  // true | false

Module Slider

There is now a convenient toggle to show the tabbed modules or not.

$show_moduleslider = "true"; 	// true | false

Module List

With the setting illustrated below, you can control the aspects of the integrated rokslide feature to a great extent. You can control the tab title and also the module position which appears in each of the tabs. In the code snippet, we have 5 lines, each line controls a single tab. Each line is segregated into 2 distinct parts. These are "title"=>"Tab Title", which controls the Tab Title. The second part is "module"=>"Module Position"),

$modules_list = array(array("title"=>"Group 1 Title", "module"=>"user12"),

	 array("title"=>"Group 2 Title", "module"=>"user13"),

	 array("title"=>"Group 3 Title", "module"=>"user14"),

	 array("title"=>"Group 4 Title", "module"=>"user15"),

	 array("title"=>"Group 5 Title", "module"=>"user16"));
