Note:
Custom HTML Module: To match the design of the template, we also style (CSS) for Custom HTML modules using different div classes. You will need to check the HTML codes and make sure to use the recommended HTML markup to get correct display. We provide the HTML code in this user-guide.

In Onepage site, each menu will point to a section block when you click on it and all the sections are in one page. The sections are build up from modules.

For example, we will create a section: Awesome Team, to do that, we have the following step.

Step 1: Create module for section

Each section block contains a module, so to create a section, firstly create a module that has content displayed in the section.

You can use an existing module in your site or create a new module, it's up to your requirement. The modules (whatever existing module or new module) must be assigned to position: onepage.

Note: the module is the start point that menu point to.

Step 2: Create a menu for a section block.

After step 1, we have now a section Awesome Team. Now we will create a menu for the section. There are 2 important notes that you have to keep in mind.

  1. Menu type = External URL
  2. The field: Link must has 2 parts as described below.
index.php?Itemid=435#our_portfolio

The link includes 2 parts, the first part is the link of Home (default menu) menu. And the second part is module name that menu navigates to when clicking on.

Step 3: Tips Message Customization

In the Onepage page, there are some blocks that has Tip Message enabled. The Tip Message is only displayed when the module title is displayed.

When the module title is enabled, a language parameter is auto rendered to file: en-GB.tpl_ja_onepage.ini located in: language/en-GB

Let's see an example.

1. Theme Setting

JA Onepage supports 5 styles, you can select any style as default style for your site. The styles are: Base theme, Metro, Modern, Retro and Solid.

When you install the template, there is only one style: base theme, to have styles as listed above, you need to create new style (or clone a new style from the base theme style) then change to theme of the style.

Let's view an image with 5 styles.

2. Layout Setting (We suggest you not to customize the home-1 layout)

Each JA template supports multiple layout that can give users more choices for displaying their site content. In JA Onepage, we define 4 layouts (home-1, default, default-content-right, default-content).

Actually, you can customize the layouts or create a new layout.

Each style will use one layout, but in one site, you can use multiple styles simultaneously.

2.1 Customize layout structure

In the tab: Layout Structure, you can change module positions. You can also set number of module positions in a spotlight block.

2.2 Customize responsive layout

The responisve layout allows to customize specific layout in specific devices (mobile, ipad, etc). The settings are only applied for current active layout, it is not affected to other layouts of devices.

Open the tab: Responsive Layouts, then select a responsive layout from the supported ones.

In each responsive layout, you can enable/disable any module positions.

The following video tutorials will show you how to work with Layouts: Configure and Customize

Layout Configuration

T3 comes with ease of layout customization. The visual layout configuration is easier than ever before.

Layout Customization

The video tutorial guides you on how to customize the layouts, add new layout, and customize blocks in a layout.

3. ThemeMagic Setting

JA Fubix is developed with T3 so you can customize themes with ThemeMagic.

To customize theme with the feature, firstly, you have to enable the option.

Then open the ThemeMagic panel.

In the setting panel, you can customize all the themes. The left panel is the setting area while the right panel is your site front-end. Each time you change setting, click on "Preview" button to view the change in front-end on the right panel.

The following video tutorials will show you how to customize theme and customize ThemeMagic.

ThemeMagic Customization

After watching the tutorial, you can be able to customize your theme quickly using ThemeMagic as well as know how to add new group and parameters to ThemeMagic.

Logo Customization

To change size and path to the logo image, find the file: variables.less in foler:templates/ja_onepage/less.

There will be some codes like:

// T3 LOGO
  // --------------------------------------------------
  @T3logoWidth:     95px;
  @T3logoHeight:    25px;
  @T3LogoImage:     "../images/logo.png";

Note:

The style of logo is in file: style.less in folder: templates/ja_onepage/less. In this file, you will see the code to style for logo.

Example

// Logo Image
// ----------
.logo-image {
  overflow: hidden;
  a {
    background-image: url("@{T3LogoImage}");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: @T3logoWidth;
    height: @T3logoHeight;
  }
  //hide sitename and slogan
  span, small {
    display: none;
  }
}
// Logo Text
// ----------
.logo-text {
  h1 {
    color:       @gray Dark;
  }
  h1 a {
    color:       @gray Dark;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
  &:hover h1 a,
  h1 a:hover,
  h1 a:active,
  h1 a:focus {
    text-decoration: none;
  }
  // Taglines
  .site-slogan {
    display: block;
    font-size:       @Bas eFontSize;
    margin-top: 5px;
  }

How to make grayscale image ?

As you see in our demo site, in some blocks like: Awesome Team, Happy client ... ,the images are white black but when you hover them, the color changes to image's real color, to do that, please add a class: img-grayscale for the image.

Example

<div class="mask-inner"><img class="img-grayscale" src="/images/joomlart/demo/sam-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Sample image" /></div>
