Every template built on Vertex also comes with its own unique template specific options applicable to that particular template such as highlight colors, social icons, and much more. These features are in addition to the standard functions of Vertex, and are still controlled through the very user friendly interface of Vertex. This page will document the features specific to this template.
Template Specific Configuration Interface of Vertex
Below is a screenshot that shows all the template specific features available in the user friendly Vertex admin:
Homepage Intro Feature
This month we have included a feature that is great for an intro page of an eCommerce website. The below screenshot is this page. There are only 2 module positions:
custom_1 - Which is where we have published the Image and Content Fader module
custom_2 - We have published menu module here
As long as you publish a module to the "custom_1" position then this page will show and hide the rest of your site. So how would you use this? You could publish a module to the custom_1 position and set it to only show on your "home" menu item.
Virtuemart Style - NOTE: For Joomla 2.5 only. VM is not compatible with Joomla 3.0
For this template we have revisted our 3rd party Virtuemart styling and made some updates to it, reformatting things and styled with a cleaner look and layout. If you are using Joomla 2.5 with No1 Shopping you can take advantage of these styles. Just install Virtuemart (http://virtuemart.net/) and be sure you have 3rd party styles enabled in the Vertex admin area (its on by default).
Social Icons
Easily link to a social media site with the built in social icons found in the header of this template. Simply enter the url of your social site in the configuration and the icon will automatically appear. To disable an icon simply leave the url blank for that particular icon.
Cart Button
Great for any eCommerce component you may be running on your site !Be sure to publish the s5 box to your site and then published a module to the s5_box1 module position.
Scroll to Top Arrow
New this month we've updated the framework so that the scroll to top arrow disappears on templates that have the arrow in a fixed position on the right side. Like this months design, Traction, etc
