This option must be enabled if you want to use the superfish menu on your site. The option includes the superfish script in the template enabling the Extended menu module to do the job of creating the sexy sliding superfish menu.

This option must be enabled if you want to use the panel menu on your site. When enabled the option includes the accordion script in the template allowing the extended menu to take advantage of the funky action and create a sliding/panel menu with your Joomla menu items.

If you decide not to use the panel menu then its best for you to disable this option.

This option sets the general width of the template. Due to padding around the design the ideal width for a 1024px resolution is 980px. The values available for the template are as follows: 980px | 940px | 900px | 860px | 820px.

The logo files can be found in the Elevate templates' images/logos folder.

The logo files can be found in the templates images/bg folder.

Select the colour for typographical hilites. Blue | Brown | Green | Grey | Pink | Purple | Red.

These colours are controlled by the css files located in the Elevate2 template folder at css/styleblue.css etc

Panel 1

Panel 2

Panel 3

Panel 4

The panel 1 to panel4 module positions are displayed in the overlay that gets triggered by the "open Panel" link int he top right hand corner. The panel trigger is automatically displayed whenever you have a module published to any of the four modules positioned here.

The demo site has an instance of a custom html module published to the panel1 position.

The topleft module position is positioned above the logo at the very top of the page.

The topright module position is positioned at the top right of the page and on the demo site houses the search box.

The menu position is the main nav for the site. You need to publish the extended menu module in this position and use the settings according to the superfish article. The menu needs to be published as a flat list to display the same way that it does on the demo site.

The breadcrumb position sits just beneath the shadow on the navigation graphic. The demo site has this module published to all module positions except for the home page.

The banner position is positioned above the breadcrumb module and is designed for the slideshow module as can be seen on the demo site.
