Hello, first of all i'd like to say that this is a amazing service you guys are running here and I've become intrested in the Hexicon Gamer template. Well ofcourse I have some few questions that i'd like to get answers to so lets get to them.

1. S5 Vertex framework how is it accessable, how do you get to it? via joomla administrator or ?
2. Is there any way to test the posting system to try out and make a new article r something like that?
3. Is there an instruction that comes with the template on installing all the services such as login and register and such?
4. Is it possible to get a forum with that template as well? Heard that some1 named some extension for it.
5. When my membership is over will I be able to continue using the framework and website and everything like it used to be? Except for your forum help and such.
6. Can I use bigger pictures within the article?
7. Is the Admin of the site the only one who can write articles or can other members have their "rights/class" and blog/write articles as well?

Hope to get answers as soon as possible as well good answers
Sorry for the flood of questions Smiley

Hello,

1. It's built into the template itself. You access it through the template manager that's built into Joomla.

2. We don't have live demo's like that, but it uses the standard joomla article system. If you have a fresh install of joomla it will function the same way.

3. Yes, all tutorials are found directly on the template's demo page under the Tutorials menu.

4. There are several free forum components at extensions.joomla.org

5. Yes, you may still use it with no issues. All that discontinues is product downloads and support.

6. Yes, you can put any size image in the articles that you need.

7. Articles are created from the backend of joomla. You can create author members who limited access to the backend.

Hey thanks for the answers and a quick reply, I myself have never used any wordpress or joomla system before, mainly program php,css,javascript. How does this extensions work? Any tutorials on the internet explaining how to install them and use? Also will the login system from the template cover that part with the forum as well or ?

Hello,

Both systems are very user friendly and relatively simple to use. You can always download a free copy of joomla from joomla.org if you want to try out the CMS. We have several tutorials on each template's demo page under the Tutorials menu and several joomla specific tutorials found here:

http://www.shape5.com/joomla_tutorials.html

Any forum you find for joomla will automatically integrate with the joomla login functionality.

Hey there, Been taking a look at Joomla, quite nice CMS. But I haven't been lucky with finding a nice forum extension that is flexible for me and my site. I see that you guys use SMF, is that available with a bridge or somekind of extension with joomla?


Also read somewhere that there is a bridge for vBulletin forum available for Joomla, Is that something you guys could help me put on my website if I plan on buying your product?

Hello,

Kuena is one of the best ones available for joomla:

SMF no longer offers a bridge for Joomla. Sorry I'm not sure about VBulletin.
