Selecting your Menu Style

TerranTribune allows you to choose from 3 menu options:

RokMooMenu - The exciting new menu system based on the ever popular Suckerfish menu style, featuring mootools powered transitions and effects.
Suckerfish - The versatile dropdown menu is now an option in combination with RokMooMenu to minimize library conflicts.
SplitMenu - Then venerable SplitMenu is a solid choice for navigation. It works by rendering the top-level menu options horizontally, and the submenu/child items are rendered in a module on the side. Now with advanced 3rd level features.

You can designate which menu type you want to use on your site with a single control in the Template Manager (located in the Joomla Administrator).

The Powerful & Popular RokMooMenu

Making its return this month is the immensely popular RokMooMenu. This menu has been developed from scratch using the latest and greatest MooTools JavaScript framework. The RokMooMenu is a highly advanced and fully customizable menu system. Some of the great features include:

Hover support for IE6 using the sfHover javascript class just like in Suckerfish.
Fully degradable to standard SuckerFish menu if javascript is not supported.
Configurable mouse-out delay to allow for accidental mousing out of the menu.
Completely customizable animation effects using MooTools transitions. Can be configured in X and/or Y directions.
Support for fade-in transparency
Experimental support for IE6 z-index bug using the iFrame hack.

An example configuration as used in the demo:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
new Rokmoomenu($E('ul.menutop '), {
bgiframe: false,
delay: 500,
animate: {
props: ['width', 'opacity'],
opts: {
duration: 600,
transition: Fx.Transitions.Sine.easeOut
}
}
});
});
</script>

Menu Settings

Bgiframe - Can be true or false. Only turn on if you are having problems with IE and z-index. This feature is experimental.
Delay - Defaults to 500ms. This is the how long you can mouse off the menu before it vanishes.
Props - These are the properties that will be applied to the menu. Can be any combination of opacity, width, height. The two properties, width and height are affected by the transition defined in opts.
Duration - the time in ms the animation will run for.
Transitions - any of the available MooTools transitions. See below for more details.
For example, "Bounce.easeIn or Bounce.easeOut or Bounce.easeInOut" produce a bouncing effect.

For more details with diagrams, visit the Mootools documentation site

Creating dropdown menus for RokMooMenu and Suckerfish

To have specific menu items appear as sub items, you must assign them to the specific navigation item in which they will originate from. The following tutorial will show you how simple it is to create your ideal menu system.

Step 1 - Navigation

Once you have logged into the Joomla! Administration Area, you must navigate to the Menu area. Hover over the Menu item in the taskbar to show the dropdown menu. For this example, we are going into the mainmenu but the technique is exactly the same for all menus in the Administrative area.

Step 2 - The Menu Manager

You will then be transported to the Menu Manager for mainmenu. At this point, you can do 2 things. The first is to edit an existing menu item, which we will be doing in this tutorial or create a New menu item to be subordinate to an existing item. Click on the item you want to be part of the dropdown menu.

Step 3 - Assigning a Parent Item

You can now assign the content item to the mainmenu item in which you want to be in the dropdown menu. Identify the "Parent Item" section of the manager. You will select the item in which you wish to be the parent and the source of the dropdown menu. In this example, we have selected "Home".

Now all the new modules are functional[/span]

What Extensions accompany the SolarSentinel release?

[list class=bullet-3][li]RokMicroNews Module
RokMicroNews is a new module, perfect for displaying your content. Your content (plus auto loaded image) are displayed adjacent to your article titles and the hover or click of these titles triggers a javascript transition to another article. Perfect for showcasing news items in a small, but structured spaced. [/li] [li]RokWeather Module
RokWeather, as the name suggests, is a weather module, using the Google API. You can easily display weather data from regions across the globe. This includes temperature, climate, wind speed as well as being configurable from the frontend via the user. Perfect for any news site. [/li] [li]RokGzipper Plugin
RokGZipper is a plugin whose primary aim is to improve the performance and speed of your site. It does this by compressing your CSS (stylesheets) and JavaScript files. For javascript files, it compresses them altogether (via GZip) and places them in the cache folder. It differentiates between the pages so if you have a particular combination of scripts on one page, and a different combination on another, two files will be created and loaded independently. A similar method is used for the CSS but is based on path. To exemplify, all the CSS files in template's /css directory are combined into one file, with the module CSS files being combined elsewhere. Compressing all these files means your site can load faster. [/li] [li]RokNewsPager Module
The module is an article previewer and rotator. It displays content articles, in a summarised form and, using mootools based javascript transition, rotates through a series of pages displaying articles in a contracted list format. [/li] [li]RokNewsflash Module
RokNewsFlash is a custom mootools module that displays your newsflash tidbits at the top of your site. The RokNewsflash also includes small buttons allowing your visitors to toggle through the different newsflash items you have set up. See it in action on the frontpage. [/li] [li]RokStories Module
RokStories is a great module to display your articles and accompanying images as a featured item. The module itself is facilitated by Mootools to transition between images and articles seamlessly. Perfect for showcasing featured articles on your site, as seen on the frontpage. [/li] [li]RokStock Module
RokStock, is a Stocks module for your site. It has been finely tuned to give stocks character such as a coloured line graph, coloured indexes, draggable indexes, tooltips and much more. The module fits seamlessly into the template and is perfect for any news site. [/li] [li]RokAjaxSearch Module
RokAjaxSearch brings fantastic search functionality to Joomla, using the powerful and versatile javascript library, Mootools.

So, what does the module do? The best description is an example, simply type test in the search box in the upper right of SolarSentinel and wait ... and a popup shall materialise, showcasing the Joomla search results for you. [/li] [li]RokTabs Module
RokTabs, the fully independent and incredible flexible standalone version of the former RokSlide.

The module itself is installable into Joomla and can be easily utilised on any template, not just SolarSentinel. As its name implies, it is a tabbed based module to efficiently showcase your content to your visitors. [/li] [li]RokNavMenu Module
RokNavMenu is now an essential ingredient of RocketTheme templates. It provides various functions which are above and beyond what the mainmenu, and the subsequent template overrides can do. Therefore, a much more sophisticated menu can be constructed providing you with a much greater degree of usability. This makes the incredible advanced multiple-dropdown menu possible. It is an essential install for the integrated menu systems to operate. [/li] [li]RokCandy Component
The popular plugin from RocketTheme which allows you to implement typography easily, without fear of the WYSIWYG editor ruining your formatting and allows you, and/or your clients to add them to your content with ease. This is through a method similar to BBcode (as seen in a forum). WYSIWYG friendly syntax can be used, or even custom configured that will transform a set snippet to the correct HTML when it is parsed by Joomla. [/li] [/list]

TerranTribune Source PNG's (terrantribune-sources.zip) This zip contains the source PNGs for making modifications and customizations to the images in the template as well as the logo font. There are additional sources for the transparent background, buttons, typography and headers. You will need an image editing software (preferably Adobe/Macromedia Fireworks) to utilize the Source PNG files.
TerranTribune RocketLauncher (Joomla_RT_TerranTribune_j15.zip) This is the RocketLauncher pack for TerranTribune which is a complete and separate Joomla install which has the template preinstalled, configured as well as the demo content already implemented.

RokCandy Typography

Written by Webmaster

[span class=alert]The RokCandy component is required for the syntax below to work.[/span] The below examples are using the syntax that functions when you use the new RocketTheme component, RokCandy. RokCandy processes your content and changes the pre-defined syntax such as [important] to the correct, and pre-formatted HTML that had to be entered in manually before RokCandy. The component is compatible with WYSIWYG editors so you do not need to worry if you or your client, have little knowledge of HTML.

If you wish to view the typography page, showing how to setup the various typography elements with HTML, then please go to the HTML Typography page.

Typography Overview

Written by Webmaster

Typography is a fundamental part of a template, providing you with the tools to characterise your content and bring it to life. There is a vast array of typography available with this template, as is with our previous releases, from list styles, notice blocks and a diverse number of other elements.

There are now 2 methods in which to implement the typography into your Joomla content:-

HTML Mode: This is the typical approach seen in pre-2009 templates, were you had to physically add the HTML to your content in order for it to work. This can be a strenuous task for two main reasons. The first being the WYSIWYG editor of Joomla, which, more often than not would strip out the HTML from your content if you opened any formatted article with it. The second being the ability of the user, if you are using purely to the WYSIWYG editor, using the HTML mode or no editor at all can be a difficult step to reach.
RokCandy Mode: The all new component from RocketTheme which allows you to implement typography easily, without fear of the WYSIWYG editor ruining your formatting and allows you, and/or your clients to add them to your content with ease. This is through a method similar to BBcode (as seen in a forum). WYSIWYG friendly syntax can be used, or even custom configured that will transform a set snippet to the correct HTML when it is parsed by Joomla.

Why use RokCandy?

RokCandy is the ideal solution for those with limited coding skills or those who implement our templates for their clients. It is free from the WYSIWYG editors horrific filtering habits and can be easily pre-configured for your personal needs or the needs of your client.

If you are apt with HTML, and are not implementing a site for someone who has limited coding skills, then the HTML method would be our recommended choice. [readon url="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=67"]RokCandy Typography[/readon]
