    1. Installing Template on your Joomla

    1. Browse and Download: Go To Download page of JA Erio and download the Template zip file. Refer to this screenshot for the overview of the download folder.
    2. Install the Template: Now install the Template on your Joomla 1.5 system. Follow This Guide if you are not familiar with the installation procedure.

    Template Configuration :

    JA Erio template will install with Settings used on the demo website, so you can postpone the configuration until you complete the setup (install other modules / plugins used in the demo website).

    Once you have completed the setup, you can go back to the template backend and check various options for customizing your template. Refer to this Universal T3 V2 Backend Config Guide for options on how to customize your installed template.

    Please Note :     T3 V2 template configurations are same in Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6, so the above guide link is valid for both versions.

    Links to resources on T3 V2 Framework templates and advanced configurations :

    Error? – I see “Missing T3” error on the website frontend?
    T3 framework 2 based templates need the T3 Framework Plugin to be installed and enabled.

    2. Installing T3 Framework 2 Plugin (T3 system plugin)

    Download and install the T3 Framework 2 Plugin (aka T3 System plugin), Follow this guide if you are not familiar with the installation procedure. After the plugin is installed, enable it as described in the same guide.

    3. Installing complimentary / included extensions and Demo configurations :

    1. Free Extensions: (aka complimentary / included extensions). We use many extensions in our demo site to provide greater flexibility and features. These are provided for free to our members.
    2. Custom HTML Module: To match the design of the template, we also style (CSS) 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 the correct display. We provide the HTML code in this userguide.
    3. 3rd Party Extensions: This template uses custom styles for K2 Component. You will need to download K2 from the developers website and install it referring to the userguide below.

    Know your Module Positions :

    TIP: Read more about Checking and Finding Module Positions in T3 Templates.

    Typography Styles – Supported in JA Erio Template :

    JA Erio comes with multiple typography styles for headings, content, tables, buttons, quotes, lists and so on…

    You can view the Typography Page on the Demo site: Typography Page

    Here is the HTML code: Click here

    You can use the above HTML code to make a similar page on your website and refer to the codes for using Typography.

    IMPORTANT : These typography styles are specific to JA Erio template and if you use them in your content and later decide to change the template, the styles will be broken, as these styles depend upon the template based css files (typo.css). We recommend using minimum typography, if you plan to change your template in future.

    Installing and Configuring K2

    1. Installing K2

    If you are new to this Joomla! component, please read this guide first.

    2. Configuring K2 component

    2.1 Global Configuration: Click Parameter button on the right

    Backend Settings

    2.2 Category Configuration

    To build your site like our demo, navigate to Administrator >> Component >> K2 >> Categories

    Categories view
    Front-end in Demo

    Backend settings

    Note: To set column displaying on K2 Showcase page, you should have enough child categories under Category view category

    On our demo, we have 4 child categories: Joomla, Magento, Drupal, WordPress

    To displays these in four columns, the Columns parameter in Administrator >> Component >> K2 >> Category >> Category View >> Category view options should be set to 2
