Using the template

After you have successfully installed the template as explained in the Installation Guide, we will start by setting RSFedra! as the default frontend template.

This is done by heading to Extensions >> Template Manager >> Select RSFedra from the template list and click on the "Make Default" button.

This feature allows you to re-arrange the template positions. It is represented by a table containing all the positions in their default arrangement. You can only re-arrange entire rows by dragging and dropping them in the desired positions




  • Reset to Default: By clicking on this button, your changes will be reset to the default arrangement.



Sample Data


This tab only incorporates a single button, Install Sample Data. By clicking it, you will install the exact same sample data that we have included on the template's demo website. Note that this is optional, you do not necessarily need to install the sample data.





IMPORTANT:

  • We strongly recommend to install the sample data before adding any menu items or other data on your website.
  • For the sample data to work properly, please make sure to first install RSMediaGallery! and its Responsive Slideshow Module. The RSMediaGallery! System Plugin also needs to be installed and enabled.
  • The sample data also requires that you install RSBlog!, along with its Calendar, Recent Posts and Tag Cloud modules.
  • To get the best results, please use the rstpl-fullwidth class in the Responsive Slideshow module's configuration (Extensions >> Module Manager >> look for RSMediaGallery! Responsive Slideshow Module and edit it >> add rstpl-fullwidth in the Module Class Suffix field)
