Fusion Menu

Fusion is javascript-based dropdown menu system, with extensively functionality. The menu itself is built on the rewritten core of the latest revision of RokNavMenu, the core application behind all RocketTheme menus.

Fusion offers a series of new abilities ranging from Menu Icons, Subtext support and much greater controls over the Multiple Column ability for dropdowns.

 

Template Configuration

You can configure Fusion Menu at Extensions → Template Manager → rt_quasar_j15 and you will find all parameters under the Menu heading.

Menu Icons

Fusion has support for individual menu icons for its dropdown menu items. These images are loaded from the /templates/rt_quasar_j15/images/icons/ directory where you will find 31 images by default.

To setup a Menu Icon, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Menu Image field in Parameters (Template theme - gantry-fusion) and select an image from the dropdown.

Subtext

Subtext is the term used to describe the secondary text placed underneath the menu title.

To add your own Subtext, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Subtext field in Parameters (Template theme - gantry-fusion) and insert your desired text.

Multiple Dropdown Columns

Fusion has the facility for dynamic column control for its dropdown. You can choose between single (1) or double (2) column modes for children of every single menu item via configuration.

To control the number of columns of each menu item, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Columns of Children field in Parameters (Template theme - gantry-fusion) and choose either 1 or 2.

Dynamic Child Direction

Typically, a dropdown menu column will extend beyond the width of the browser window if you have enough child levels. However, with Fusion, the menu detects the width of the browser and will change the direction of menu pullouts so all menu items are visible without the need to scroll.

Typography Overview

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

1. HTML Mode: This is the traditional approach for implementing typography as used in the pre-2009 templates / demos, were you had to use HTML coding / syntax for the typography. This presents two main problems: the Joomla WYSIWYG editor is notorious for stripping out HTML so could easily remove your formatted article and no typography; secondly, using HTML for typography may present a problem for certain users who are unaccustomed to HTML and coding.
   
   
2. RokCandy Mode: The RokCandy component from RocketTheme 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.

RokCandy Typography

RokCandy Example

The RokCandy Typography button is created by using the following syntax with RokCandy:-

[readon url="/typography/rokcandy-examples"]RokCandy Typography[/readon]

However, if we were to use HTML, the following code would be required:-

<p>
	<a class="readon" href="/typography/rokcandy-examples">
		<span>Read more...</span>
	</a>
</p>

As you can see, the RokCandy version is a lot easier to use.

The RokCandy component is required for the syntax below to work.

All syntax below uses RokCandy, the content macro extension for Joomla. RokCandy converts simple, understandable and pre-defined syntax to complex HTML constructions.
