Color Chooser

19/04/2009 por admin

The popular return of the color chooser in SolarSentinel makes a third appearance, in a more conservative and complimentary format. There are several options to choose from to supplement the elegance and ease of use with the template. Simply go to the template manager to change a variety of styles and colours.

The options are as follows, and the areas that they control are indicative in their name:-

Header Style
Body Style
Background Style
Footer Style
Primary Colour

[clear]

Creating your own presets

With SolarSentinel, we provide a series of preset configurations for the color chooser which you and your visitors can select from. However, if you wish to set or change these yourself, the process is extremely simple.

Login into the Joomla Administrator
Go to Extensions > Template Manager > rt_solarsentinel_j15
Set Preset Styles to Custom
Now, choose all the options you wish from the several options available
Hit the Custom Styles button in the Button menu, located in the upper right of the template manager
This will output all the values into the Custom Style Output box, situated below the options. Copy the outputted code from this box
Open the file styles.php which is located within the /templates/rt_solarsentinel_j15/ directory

Locate the following code block.

$stylesList = array(
	'style1'  => array('black', 'white', 'bg-red', 'black', "#cf0404"),
	'style2'  => array('blue', 'beige', 'bg-black', 'grey', "#2986d0"),
	'style3'  => array('grey', 'white', 'bg-blue', 'blue', "#035b99"),
	'style4'  => array('orange', 'beige', 'bg-grey', 'orange', "#de510b"),
	'style5'  => array('red', 'white', 'bg-red', 'blue', "#cf230b"),
	'style6'  => array('green', 'beige', 'bg-white', 'blue', "#4e7805"),
	'style7'  => array('blue', 'white', 'bg-grey', 'black', "#0269b3"),
	'style8'  => array('orange', 'beige', 'bg-black', 'black', "#de510b"),
	'style9'  => array('black', 'white', 'bg-white', 'red', "#cc0000"),
	'style10' => array('red', 'beige', 'bg-grey', 'grey', "#cc0000")
);

Edit that block to meet your needs, either by remove the code between $stylesList = array( and ); and copying in the code directly, or adding the new style code to the list of current styles or whatever method you prefer.
[span class=alert]Ensure that you only edit the code in between $stylesList = array( and ); and ensure it is the right format otherwise you will receive errors[/span]
Save, and upload the file to your site.

Tragedy troubles angels

Angels struggling on and off the field following Adenhart tragedy

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Angels returned home Tuesday and found the shrine still sitting at the front of the stadium, the T-shirts still hanging untouched in the locker, all the painful reminders right where they had left them. When starting pitcher Nick Adenhart died in a car accident April 9, centerfielder Torii Hunter said that the field would serve as a sanctuary, the one place where the Angels could put aside their grief. Then the Angels went 1-5 on the road, falling to the bottom of the American League West, and it became clear that there was no easy escape.

IE6 PNG Fix

17/04/2009 por admin

What is the PNGfix?

If you have ever opened a webpage with a transparent PNG in Internet Explorer 6, you will see an obvious problem. The images do not appear transparent but adopt a light blue background, which is unsightly to say the least. This is the purpose of the PNGfix, to allow transparent PNG images to work correctly in the web browser Internet Explorer 6. A common way around this is to use a range of different Joomla! extensions which can be applied to your site. However, this is already built in to new RocketTheme templates (the fix already provides other solutions to various other IE6 issues). The author of this new PNGfix is Drew Diller.

[readon url=»http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/»]Learn More[/readon]

Below is a list of all the Rocket Theme Templates which have the PNGfix described above, incorporated into it. Also, all new templates releases will contain this as it has become an recurrent feature.

SolarSentinel
Mynxx
Meridian
Akiraka
Mixxmag

How do I use the PNGfix?

To apply the PNGfix to a particular image, all you need to do is add a class, png. We have an example of image HTML code below:-

<img src="image.png" alt="Image" />

Now add class=»png» to the code such as:-

<img src="image.png" alt="Image" class="png" />

[span class=alert]Uninstall all other PNGfixes before using the template version, that includes plugins you may have installed into Joomla as they will conflict with the template fix[/span]

How to remove the PNGfix

If you wish to remove the PNGfix from the template, you have to remove the file and remove the reference from the rt_head_includes.php file. The file is called DD_belatedPNG.js and is located in the /templates/rt_solarsentinel_j15/js directory. You would then remove the following from the rt_head_includes.php file:-

<script src="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/DD_belatedPNG.js"></script>
<script>
    DD_belatedPNG.fix('.png');
</script>

Demo Content

17/04/2009 por admin

The demo for SolarSentinel utilises a large stock of custom code and styling to make the most of every content item and show what SolarSentinel can do. This basically means that the HTML used in the custom modules and content have customisations
which employ the characteristics of the template to make the «perfect» content.

This demo content section will take you through some of the content areas and general techniques used to further your understanding and help you realise the true potential of SolarSentinel. If you would like to quickly deploy a replica of our SolarSentinel demo for a new Joomla site, be sure to check out our RocketLauncher package.
