ImageRestructured Layout

The structure places the main content before the side columns in the code hierarchy, which is beneficial for SEO purposes, as your primary content is crawled first by the search engines such as Google.

ImageJavascript Form Styling

Form elements, such as checkboxes and radio icons, typically inherit their styling from the browser. However, with javascript, we can modify the elements for seamless integration of the forms, into the template style.

ImageRokAjaxSearch

Ajax powered module, allowing for interactive search of both local Joomla pages and the web with its Google integration.

ImageRokTabs

Tabbed content module, perfect for maximising content exposure without sacrificing on site real estate. Built-in mootools effects.

ImageRokStories

Functional showcase module for displaying content items and their accompanying images in an interactive and versatile manner.

ImageConfigurable Controls

A series of template parameters allow you to control all aspects of the menu from type such as Fusion Menu or no menu at all, to every aspects of the Fusion Menu animations, transitions and other controls / parameters.

ImageFusion Menu

Fusion Menu, an advanced dropdown based CSS menu. It supports both mootools powered transition and animation enhancements for its dropdown as well as a script-less format with basic, animation-less dropdowns.

ImageCCK Application

K2 is a Content Construction Component (CCK) that expands the Joomla content manager well beyond its default capabilities

You need to disable the K2 Base CSS in its parameters for K2 to load the CSS from the Nexus template.

RocketLauncher

K2 is not included in the RocketLauncher

What is RocketLauncher?

RocketLauncher is a Joomla installation package that installs Joomla as the demo. The launcher installs the sample data, which has been customised to match the demo, and the template, extensions and images are already built in. The launcher is the best method to replicate the demo with ease.

Due to the complexity of our demos, it is much easier to see it in action then it is to read in written tutorials and / or viewing screenshots. Therefore, the process of using the template on your Joomla site is much faster, simpler and makes for a better experience.

Version

We use the latest Joomla version available at the time for our launchers and when Joomla updates, we proceed to update all the launchers so they are up to date for all new downloads. Please go to the Joomla Downloads repository to see what version the RocketLauncher is using.

For information on upgrading Joomla, please see: http://docs.joomla.org

RocketLauncher includes a FULL Joomla install, in addition to the template and demo contents. The Joomla installation process is necessary in creating the demo content, therefore RocketLauncher will only work properly as a new Joomla installation. It can not be used on an existing Joomla installation.

Instructions

Step 1 - Upload the files

  • Download the Nexus RocketLauncher Package (Joomla_RT_Nexus_j15.zip) from the Nexus template downloads section
  • Unzip the zip packaged onto your computer to reveal the Joomla_RT_Nexus_j15 folder
  • Upload this to your site using your FTP client

Note, on some servers, you can upload the zip and extract the package directly onto your server using cPanel or SSH access. For more details on this, please contact your hosting provider.

Step 2 - Installation

  • Direct your browser to the installation such as www.yoursite.com/Joomla_RT_Nexus_j15 or to whatever directory your uploaded to
  • Choose a Language for your site then click next
  • Review the Pre-Installation Check page then click next

  • Insert your Database information: host name, mysql username and mysql password then click next
  • Insert your main configuration information: site name, admin password and email address
  • Click Install Sample Data then click next
  • Delete the /installation directory on your server
It is very important that you click the Install Sample Data button during the installation process, otherwise the launcher will be blank.
