Suckerfish Menu:


To enable this menu simply publish a menu module in your "site modules" area of Joomla to the "suckerfish" menu position. If no drop downs appear enable "show sub menu items" in the menu mod.

Custom Widths:


Head on over to the "extensions > template manager" and select "shape5_intrigue" to define columns widths and other included template features. You can specify fixed or fluid, body width, left width and right width to any size!

Highlight/Background Color:


The custom highlight colors control backgrounds, titles, hyperlinks, menu items, suckerfish and several other elements. These colors can easily be set in the template configuration area.


Sample Sites

Your installation includes sample data, designed to show you some of the options you have for building your website. In addition to information about Joomla! there are two sample "sites within a site" designed to help you get started with builidng your own site.

The first site is a simple site about Australian Parks. It shows you you an quickly and easily build a personal site with just the building blocks that are part of Joomla!. It includes a personal blog, weblinks, and a very simple image gallery.

The second site is slightly more complex and represents what you might do if you are building a site for a small business, in this case a Fruit Shop.

In building either style site, or something completely different, you will probably want to add extensions and either create or purchase your own template. Many Joomla! users start off by modifying the templates that come with the core distribution so that they include special images and other design elements that relate to their site's focus.
