I. TEMPLATE

1.1 Template Installation

III. EXTENSION INSTALLATION

When extracting JA Nagya package, you will see the folder named Extension with all extensions built in the JA Nagya, including one module package: JA Tabs and a plugin package: JA Tabs. That means when you install via template installer, you need to install JA Tabs module and JA Tabs plugin separately, then configure their positions as instructed in Template configuration section.

You check How to install Joomla! module guide and How to install Joomla! plugin guide for installation.

Extensions built in JA Nagya comprise:
Note: [xx] stands for module position

• [user5] JA Tab module

And extension details as follow:

JA Tab module(mod_jatab.zip)
[position: user5]

JA Tabs module used to display your specific content, categories, section as well as modules in TABS. You can specify module position to display, or using JA Tabs syntax for advanced features

On demo, it looks like:

In Admin panel, go to Extensions >> Modules Manager and click on JA Tabs name to go to configuration page.

You can select what will be displayed in JA Tabs block. It can be modules, content, module, Article ID or Articles-Category ID

• If Modules selected, you can input module position into the textbox Module position box. All modules from that position will be displayed in tabs.
• If Content selected, you can input your JA Tabs string to the Enter content code textarea.
• If Module selected, you can input list of module to the textbox List module
