Getting Started

Choosing between the template or the quickstart.

Installing the template.

Choose this option if you already have your site created or have at least made changes to the default Joomla installation and want to overlay this theme onto your site. For a complete installation of the demo site on your server please refer to installing the quickstart package.


Installing the template is achieved using the same method as installing any other template or extension.
  • Navigate to your Joomla admin area at yoursite.com/administrator
  • Navigate to Extensions > Install/uninstall
  • Click browse and locate the template zip on your harddrive.
  • Click upload and install.
  • After you receive the success message, navigate to Extensions > Template Manager
  • Select the radio checkbox next to the Canvas template and then click on the button at the top right of the screen that says default.
  • Now if you navigate to the front page of your site and you should see the Canvas template installed into your Joomla site.

Installing the quickstart.

The Joomlabamboo quickstart packages are complete replicas of the particular template's demo site. They are basically the same as the Joomla installation zip except they come with the template, watermarked images and extensions you see on the demo site. They are a quick and easy way to have your site setup and ready to edit.

 

You can read the tutorial on installing the quickstart packages here.

 

Layout and module positions

The module positions are fairly straight forward in this template. There are eight modules in total and four of them are collapsible.

The modules are placed in the following positions:

  • Top holds the top menu and uses the module class -top_menu
  • Left holds the main menu and uses the module class -menu. this menu collapses to give you some full width main content.
  • User 1 sits above the main content.
  • User 2 sits below the main content
  • User 3, User 4 and User 5 are placed below the main content and the left menu column. They are all collapsible.
  • Bottom sits in the footer and a menu here uses the module class -footer.

Here is an image of the module positions:
