Micro Blog

prettyPhoto and prettyBox

If you didnt see the prettyBox module we put together for the January 2009 release Canvas then you need to take a look at it. Its a beautiful way to implement a gallery uin a module on your Joomla site. There are plenty of options available fro cropping and resizing images and then displaying the original image in a lightbox. You can view full setup information on the Canvas demo site.

 

PrettyPhoto is athe lightbox we used in the prettyBox module. It can also be used in stand alone mode. You can see some setup and markup instructions on the Canvas demo site .

FaceBox

The microBlog module that comes with the Organica template uses a nifty little technique where you can popup the introtext and fulltext of a content item in a lightbox called faceBox. You can read more about the microBlog module here. However you can also use the faceBox script as a stand alone option. Check out the instructions below for how to go about doing this.

Front page layout

The front page layout is the one that you see on the demo site that contains either the slider, the folds or both. The front page layout is triggered when you have any modules published to the slide2, slide3, slide4, slide5, slide6, slide7, slide8, slide9 modules for the slider and user1, user2 and user3 for the folds.

If you want to trigger the sub page layout then just make sure that there are no modules published to any of these positions.

 
Sub Page layout

Organica comes with some amazing flexibility as you can see from the demo site. There are two main layouts - the frontPage layout and the subPage Layout. Within the subPage layout you get full control over the positioning and the widths of the four columns that are available when the subPage layout is triggered.

Organica Typography

Organica comes loaded with some great looking typography for you to use in your content. We have gone above and beyond the call of duty to provide you with a staggering 60+ typographical styles (not including the standard Heading tags) for you to use in your content. The bulk of them are simple paragraph and div blocks that use the aptly named Distortion set of icons from Dry Icons.

Module Positions

Organica comes with two different page layouts that are controlled according to the modules you have published on your site. The front page layout that you see on the demo is what we refer to in the documentation as the frontpage layout and contains the slider and horizontal accordion. The Subpage layout is a light weight multi module grid layout. Please view the descriptions and instructions below for more information.

Controlling the slider

Organica's slider is a full width jQuery content slider that is built in to the template. It basically operates according to the number of modules you have published in the module positions named slide2 to slide9 with the addition of a few cosmetic settings that can be controlled in the template administrator in Joomla 1.5 or in the index.php file in Joomla 1.5.

Controlling the folds

The coloured bars that you see in the first screen of the demo site are a part of Organica's built in horizontal sliding accordion. There are four bars in total and they each have the ability to display any modules from the user1 to user3 positions and also the main content body.

Installing Organica

Organica can be installed using two different methods - the quickstart package or standalone template. The essential difference between the template and quickstart version of any of our templates is that the template version is stand alone and can be used on any existing Joomla installation, while the quickstart package is a comple installation of Joomla. If you would like some more information about choosing between the template or the quickstart package check this guide out.
