Widgets

WordPress Widgets (WPW) is like a plugin, but designed to provide a simple way to arrange the various elements of your sidebar content (known as “widgets”) without having to change any code.

Every of RocketTheme Wordpress templates is Widgetized. It means it has special places where you can place builtin or downloaded widgets. Widgets can be a small gallery, mp3 player, calendar, twitter etc. It’s a great way to enchance your site without any knowledge of how to create websites.

Please remember that you can place more than 1 widget in place. This means that even if you got one place for widgets, you still can drop there a bunch of them :)

Affinity has 20 places where you can put your widgets.

Affinity uses 4 different sidebars : Left Front Sidebar and Right Front Sidebar (displayed only on frontpage), Left Subpage Sidebar (displayed on every other page), Right Subpage Sidebar (displayed on every other page).
If you would like to place the widget above the existing menus on the frontpage it is as simple as dragging the selected widget (in the widgets section) to your chosen place.

Widgets

Dragging widgets to Left Front Sidebar, Right Front Sidebar, Left Subpage Sidebar, Right Subpage Sidebar sections will hide the default content of those sections and display your widget instead

 

RokTabs

The template has a script that will display a message to IE6 users advising them to upgrade to a more secure browser version. This is enabled by default, but can easily be turned off or on with a toggle in the theme settings page. When enabled, users visiting your site with IE6 only, will be able to view the message. By enabling this, you can help fight the good fight that rids the internet of the evil incarnation that is IE6!

Any web developer will tell you, working with IE 6 is one of the most difficult and frustrating things they have to deal with on a daily basis, taking up a disproportionate amount of their time. Beyond that, IE 6’s support for modern web standards is very lacking, restricting what developers can create and holding the web back.

RokBox, the successor of our popular RokZoom plugin, is a mootools powered JavaScript slideshow that allows you to quickly and easily display multiple media formats including images, videos (video sharing services also) and music.

RokBox provides a theme system that allows you to create your own custom ones to fit your websites design. It includes two predefined themes, a Light theme and a Dark theme that will fit seemlessly into your site design. RokBox is as easy as pie to install and customize, providing an easy way to create your own custom themes for it.

RokStories is a great widget to display your articles and accompanying images as a featured item. The widget itself is facilitated by Mootools to transition between images and articles seamlessly. Perfect for showcasing featured articles or image on your site.

RokStories provides a vast assortment of configuration options and parameters to give you more control over how your dynamic content is displayed as well as providing a lightweight and fast loading experience.

Rewriting it to widget let’s you configure and use it even easier!

Affinity continues the latest trend of SEO optimised templates. The layout of the template has been constructed differently to the norm. A typical WordPress template, in regards to the mainbody source, will load the left column first, then the right column and finally the main column (where your main articles are loaded). Affinity takes a different approach and loads the main column code before the left and right columns.

Therefore, this template loads in this order: Header, Menu, Showcase, Main Column, Left Column, Right Column, Bottom, Footer. This is perfect for SEO purposes as the search crawlers will find your main content before your subsidiary content in your side columns. This is a major step forward and will improve your search engine results for your pages.
