RokCandy Typography

The RokCandy component is required for the syntax below to work. The below examples are using the syntax that functions when you use the new RocketTheme component, RokCandy. RokCandy processes your content and changes the pre-defined syntax such as [important] to the correct, and pre-formatted HTML that had to be entered in manually before RokCandy. The component is compatible with WYSIWYG editors so you do not need to worry if you or your client, have little knowledge of HTML.

If you wish to view the typography page, showing how to setup the various typography elements with HTML, then please go to the HTML Typography page.

Font Control

Akiraka allows you to have the option of simply switching the font of all the text in the template with the following setting in the template manager (select the font name to preview):-

  • Color Chooser
  • RokCandy
  • Ajax Search
  • RokTabs
The return of the Color Chooser is upon us, but in a revolutionary, administrator only form. The Color Chooser is an ideal feature to help web developers quickly, and easily change and test the colour scheme of their sites. Akirka has been constructed to be fully transparent and all the colours are generated by the Color Chooser, comfortable situated in the Template Manager parameters for the template.
RokCandy is a new component from RocketTheme which provides BBcode-type functionality into Joomla. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the WYSIWYG editor stripping out your custom code, or worry about your HTML abilities in order to use the various Typography and other styled elements. It changes preset syntax, such as [example] to the relevant HTML code, once Joomla parse the article. What does that mean? Well, it means if you type [example] into your content, whether in HTML or normal WYSIWYG mode, it will always show [example] and will not be stripped away on save or reopen. All the changing to HTML, is done via Joomla when it outputs the article onto the site itself.
RokAjaxSearch brings fantastic search functionality to Joomla, using the powerful and versatile javascript library, Mootools. So, what does the module do? The best description is an example, simple type test in the search box in the upper right of Akiraka and wait ... and a popup shall materialise, showcasing the Joomla search results for you.
RokTabs, the fully independent and incredible flexible standalone version of the former RokSlide. The module itself is installable into Joomla! and can be easier utilised on any template, not just Akiraka. As the name implies, it is a tabbed based module used to efficiently showcase your content to your visitors.

RokNavMenu Module

RokNavMenu is now an essential ingredient of RocketTheme templates. It provides various functions which are above and beyond what the mainmenu, and the subsequent template overrides can do. Therefore, a much more sophisticated menu can be constructed providing you with a much greater degree of usability.
