Slider Documentation

slider The Slider Joomla template was released in October 2007.

The following steps will help you to work better with the Slider template. Please follow the instructions and use this item as a guide for setting up your site and configuring the various options found in the template as well as the extensions and scripts that are showcased on the Slider demo site.

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 name of the template that you have just installed 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.
