S5 Flex Menu:

The S5 Flex Menu system is a very powerful plugin that provides functionality far beyond what the standard Joomla menu system can provide. This plugin is intended to be as an extension of the existing menu system in Joomla to add many new features! Please see the full list of features below.

This menu system works off of the core Joomla mootools script so no extra javascript library is needed and keep download sizes to a minimum. Also, if you do not want to use this menu you can simply turn it it off from the template configuration page.

Take your website to the next design level by using the robust and feature rich S5 Flex Menu System. Organize your links with ease and show content in places you never could before!

Menu Features:

  • Multiple javascript effects with core mootools
  • Multiple columns for menu items or modules
  • Modules load directly into the menu
  • Group sub menu items into the same column or fly out
  • Optional sub texts for each menu item
  • Optional menu icon images for each menu item
  • And much more!

Hello,

The vertex framework is GPL. It may be used by others as long as it keeps our copyright information in the install files. The template itself must be built around the vertex framework to work with this framework.

Hello, I installed the free vertex template, and the other free modules or plugins into my new clean joomla! 2.5.1. and it is one big disaster. Nothing really works. The simple menu, which is set to hroizontal comes vertical. The template, whatever you do, will not center (fixed or fluid). Module Image and Content fader installs but never comes up where ever you install in type of position. I de-installed it, what a disaster, specially as you promote it as template for joomla! 2.5 smilies/angry.gif

there are some bugs especially if you are looking it with new ipad with module class like hide_1200 etc.

Though the best reponsive for Joomla ever. But you guys seriously need to take care of new ipad problem.

Real flexible with options of hiding modules is basically awesome. I wish there is an option to hide entire column when reaches for a specific pixel. (like hide right coloumn when it is 1200 px)

Thank you guys for that amazing framework and template

mikek
mikek says:
Hello,

The responsive layout has been fully tested in iPads. Responsive layouts are not specific to a device. If the areas are not hiding with hide_1200 then the screen's resolution width is larger than that. 1200 is though is very large number to be hiding elements, especially a column. The hide classes really should be used primarily for smaller devices, where it is harder to fit all the content into a more narrow area. hide_1200 would hide your content on most laptops and desktops as well.

Hi,
this responsive layout is rearly a coool thing!
One issue I found: On my iPad site can't be scrolled with long menu (features) pulled down. So i can't reach all menu items.
Thanks for this great work, gratulations!

I installed Virtuemart 2.XXX... But a VM link/icon isn't showing up on the admin component drop down menu. It says the component is active in my extension manager, but I cannot navigate to it. Not sure if that's user error or an FYI bug. A link to the K2 component does show up.

Shape5 team should now have 'one click install' templates instead of the patch for Joomla 3.0 as Joomla 3.0 is stable and many major extensions are already made compatible for Joomla 3.0. It is recommended to start NEW website with Joomla 3.0.

mikek says:
Cardin,

Please do not double post your comments. We already responded to this exact post on another page two days ago:


Hello,

Our product support is on the same cycle as Joomla themselves, as are most templates clubs. Meaning, as long as Joomla still support 2.5 we will be creating 2.5 templates. Until then we will not be creating a stand alone 3.0 install of our products. There is no need for one when the patch is available, and it is very simple to apply. Having multiple downloads for a 2.5 product and 3.0 with the patch applied makes things very complicated for updating the products, and is extremely confusing for our members when they need to download a product. We have been through several Joomla conversions over the years, and we feel that the single "current" package that we offer is the best approach.

We have a lot of 3.0 products available, and not only that we are one of the few clubs who has moved totally away from mootools, to use strictly the core jquery from Joomla 3.0 in our templates and extensions. A full list of the 3.0 products is on the compatibility pages that I listed above.

Wow! Still a Joomla novice myself, I have been trying to update my websites to work with mobile devices and look a bit more clean/modern in the process. I was expecting some hassle with the move but so far (don't want to tempt fate here smilies/smiley.gif ) this has been great, pretty easy to tweak with lots of positions that just work - it even lets me do silly things like put an image rotator in the logo or banner position
Vertex is an outstanding Template - Thank You for creating and sharing

Hi shape5 team,
BIG Thumbs Up for the vertex theme, I'm a Joomla novice and have tried a number of templates from different designers and vertex out preforms them all. Customizing the template to suit my needs was made easy by your well laid out CSS sheets and documentation (well done guys). Finally something that works straight out of the box smilies/grin.gif
Thank you guys for that awesome framework and template.
