1. Installing Template on your Joomla

1. Browse and Download : Go To Download Folder of JA Seleni for J15 and download the Template zip file. Refer this screenshot for overview of download folder.
2. Install the Template : Now install the Template to your Joomla 1.5 . Follow This Guide if you are new.

Template Configuration :

JA Seleni template will install with Settings used in the demo site. So you can delay the configuration until you complete the setup (installing the other modules / plugins used in the demo site).

Once, you have completed the setup, you can come back to the template backend and check the various options for customizing your template. Refer this Template Config Guide for options to customize your installed template.

3. Installing complimentary / included extensions and Demo configurations :

• Free Extensions : (aka complimentary / included extensions). We use many extensions in our demo site to provide greater flexibility and features. These are provided for free to our members.
• Custom HTML Module : To match the design of the template, we also style (CSS) for Custom HTML modules using different div classes. You will need to check the HTML codes and make sure to use the recommended HTML markup to get correct display. We provide the HTML code in this userguide.

Know your Module Positions :

1. View Module Position Image (used positions only).
2. Use Module Position Overlay in Template (used & empty module positions).

TIP : Read more about Checking and Finding Module Positions in T3 Templates.

Typography Styles – Supported in JA Seleni Template :

JA Seleni template comes with multiple typography styles for headings, content, tables, buttons, quotes, lists and so on…

You can view the Typography Page in the Demo site : Typography page

And this is HTML code: 11903

You can use the above HTML code for making similar page in your site and refer to the codes for using Typography.

IMPORTANT : These typography styles are specific to JA Seleni template and if you use them in your content and later decide to change the template, the styles will be broken, as these styles depend upon the template based css files (typo.css). We recommend using minimum typography, if you plan to change your template in future.
