Where do I find out more about configuring all the features of the Rochea template? For instance I found an Extension called “cust_gcom_j15.zip”. Where do I find out what this is for or how to use it?

Also in the onlne demo site,
http://www.joomlart.com/templates_demo.php?template=ja_rochea

it shows the flash header, where do I learn how to configure this?

Thanks, I’m a “newbee” to Joomla and JoomlaArt.

This will be planned to upgrade for j1.6 but i am not sure about the exact release date as we are upgrading all templates.

You can keep your eyes on the JoomlArt blog, any updates would be announced there.

Thanks.
