Joomanager and Modules

Joomanager is a commercial / paid 3rd party component for Joomla. It is not available on Shape5.com nor do we provide support for the component. The component can be purchased at: http://www.joomanager.com

Joomanager is a component for Joomla that is so flexible it allows you to create your own custom fields that will show on each item that is created in Joomanager. So for this template we created several fields that fit the "real estate" style theme of the template such as "bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet, property type, etc"

The search and other real estate functionality come from the Joomanager component available from Joomanager.com. We have a coupon available for 20% the purchase of Joomanager available for club members as the component is not included in the site shaper.

The modules used on the homepage of the site are as follows:

Joomanager Browse:
Used in the first two positions of the s5 tab show module.


Joomanager Featured:
Published to the bottom_row2_1 module position on the frontpage.


Joomanager Search:
Published to the pos_top_row2_1 module position on the frontpage.

S5 Live Search

The S5 Live Search module is demo'd at the top of this page and can be used on any Joomla template.

Allow your users to search quickly and without loading or refreshing pages with this AJAX search module! This month you can choose two either show or hide the button and the formatting will automatically adjust. Simply publish the module to the 'search' position.

S5 Box and Login and Register Setup

The S5 Box can be demo'd by clicking on either the Login or Register buttons found towards the top of this page.

The module allows for up to 10 different S5 Box's on one page all via 10 module positions. You simply add a class to any HTML element on your site and enable the corresponding box and you are good to go!

To enable the login and register modules:

1. Install the S5 Box module and publish it to all pages on your site. Try to publish it to a position where a module already exists on all pages, but don't worry it won't change the layout of your site, the script is automatically hidden on your site.

2. Install and publish the S5 Register module to the 'register' module position

3. Publish the default Joomla login module to the 'login' module position.

4. In your template parameters area of Joomla you can change the text for login, register and logout.

5. That's it, you're all done!


The S5 Box runs off of the jQuery Javascript library in a no conflictions mode so you should not receive any problems with other third party extensions you may be running on your site.

Features:

  • Powered by no conflict mode jQuery Javascript
  • Choose, elastic, fade or none for the popup effect
  • Up to 10 S5 Box's throughout your site or on any one page!
  • Set the percentage of width of each box according to overall screen size



Tutorial on how to get the s5 box working and use all 10 module positions it includes



1. Adding the S5 Box positions:
  • Open up the templateDetails.xml file included with the template you are using.
  • Locate the positions area.
  • Start adding new positions s5_box1, s5_box2, s5_box3, etc all the way up to s5_box10.


2. Adding the S5 Box classes:
  • The S5 Box class name of the corresponding position must be added to the link that will open the box. For example the following code will display a link that says Click Here and will open the S5 Box and display whatever module is published to the s5_box3 module position:



  • These classes can be added to any element, ie: divs, spans, etc., but the common use will be to add this into content with a link similar to the one shown in the picture above. To enter this link you must do so from the HTML edit screen on your content editor:



    Once you have clicked the HTML button the HTML code window will appear much like the first image.
  • You can continue adding these classes throughout your site just be sure to have published a module to the corresponding position or the box will not work correctly. So if you add the class s5box_two you will also have to publish a module to the s5_box2 position.
  • Module positions and their corresponding classes:

    s5_box1 = s5box_one
    s5_box2 = s5box_two
    s5_box3 = s5box_three
    s5_box4 = s5box_four
    s5_box5 = s5box_five
    s5_box6 = s5box_six
    s5_box7 = s5box_seven
    s5_box8 = s5box_eight
    s5_box9 = s5box_nine
    s5_box10 = s5box_ten
3. Lastly, publish your modules to the S5 Box positions:
  • Now that you have added the s5 box positions just go to your site modules area and publish modules to those positions
  • Make sure that you have added a class to an HTML element as described above or the s5 box will have no activation button
  • Also make sure to publish the actual s5 box to a non s5 box position, perhaps publish it to the "debug" position or a similar one in your template.


Main S5 Box Module Settings:
  • In the backend of the S5 Box module you can adjust the width of each box independent of each other.
  • Make sure that the S5 Box module is published to all pages, it can be published to any template position. Also make sure that the module opening in the box is published to the page the link is on.


S5 Tab Show

The S5 Tab show module has been edited to match the layout of the Get Reserved template. This module can be demoed on the homepage of this template.

It holds up to 10 actual module positions so you can publish any of your favorite modules to one of the slides and keep your site clean and consolidated while giving it some eye candy. So simply add the modules positions as described below, publish the s5 tab show module and then start publishing modules to the positions in the tab show (s5_tab1, s5_tab2, etc)
