MP Thymes Setup Guide

(Version 10/8/08 1:30 PM )

1.Installation

Joomla 1.5+ Installation

Important: After downloading and extracting the template package the Joomla 1.5.x installation file can be found here:
/mpcoffeewithmilk/joomla1_5_version/mp_thymes.zip

Step One: Log into your backend
Log into your Mambo/Joomla backend.
You reach the log in page by typing the following URL:
http://www.yourjoomlamambopath.xyz/administrator
into your browser Replace yourjoomlamambopath.xyz with your URL.

Step Two: Open the template installer
Click on “Extensions->Install/Uninstall” to access the installation page.

Step Three: Select the template installation file from your HD
Hit the “search” button and select the template installations file form your HD. IMPORTANT: The downloaded .zip archiv from www.pixelsparadise.com is not the installation file. It includes additional files and different installation files for different template versions. So you have to extract the downloaded file to your HD first. The real template installation file(s) looks like mp_templatename.zip, not mptemplatename.zip!

Step Four: Upload and install it
Hit the “Upload File & Install” button. Wait a while. It can take up to some minutes, depending on your internet connection and the templates size.

Step Five: Activate it
Activate the Template from your Template Manager. Click on “Extensions->Template Manager” to open it. A list of all installed templates appears. Mark the radiobutton in front of your new installed template and hit the “Default” button in the upper right corner.

2.Module Setup

The MP Thymes template provides a total of 10 modulepositions for a unlimited number of modules

<- Click on the left image to see a overview of the single module positions.

User9: Small area in the upper left corner
User 3:

2.2 Main menu setup

In order to get a horizontal aligned mainmenu like on our live demo site you have to publish your mainmenu module on position "user3" and to disable the modules titel. To do this access your modulemanager again and select the "mainmenu" module from the list. Hit the "edit" button in the upper right corner and the modules config screen will appear. Disable the "show title" function and change the moduleposition from "left" (<- default value) to "user3". Also change the "Menu Style" to "legacy - flat list". Save the changes.
