Please follow these instructions for installing your new Darkshadow Joomla template if you are unfamiliar with the template install procedure.

:: Module Preset styles for Darkshadow template ::

To apply the preset individual CSS styles for selected modules in the Darkshadow Joomla Template, please add the following module suffixes to your own site modules.

You can do this via the admin backend, using the Joomla Module Manager.

• Online Users module class suffix: -online
• Polls module class suffix: -polls
• Main Menu module class suffix: -main

Note: Please set all menus to use Flat list.

:: Add New Template Module Positions ::

This step below is no longer required for version 1.2 and higher !!

To make the most of the Darkshadow template features, you will need to add a new template module position.

Using the Module Positons Manager open the page and insert the following module position name into the next available blank field.

topfeature

This will allow a module to load into the topfeature position at the top section of the main content area, providing that you have published a module to that position... You can use this area for displaying any module youl like, possibly a Google adsensed leaderboard 720x90 banner , image slideshow or your site's Newsflash Module.

:: Template Setup Advice ::

We recommend to uncheck the menu links for the news & blog sections from all modules published to the right column, to give you a two column layout like this page you are on now, and to help avoid any overlapping content issues.

For a fullwidth Fireboard Forum please uncheck the forum menu link from "all" modules published to the left and right module positions.

To uncheck a menu item, open the specified module you wish to remove from being displayed and from the list of menu links to your left, deselect the menu links which we have pointed out here in the guide.

Holding down the CTRL key while you click enables you to deselect or select multiple links at the same time.
