 Installing a Versatility III Custom Module
Step One: Installing the Module Download the v3_custom_modules.zip archive from the Versatility III download section of the RocketTheme Joomla! Club. Login in to your administratior console on your Joomla! website and navigate to the Installers menu item, and select Modules from the dropdown menu.
In the Upload Package File section, click the Choose File button and select the mod_modulename.zip inside of the module zip file you downloaded earlier. Next click the Upload FIle & Install button to install the module.
Step Two: Publishing the Module Now the module is installed it must be published in the appropriate module position and configured to suite our needs. From the top menu, select Modules then Site Modules. This will take you to the Site Module Manager which allows you to configure the placement and configuration of all modules in your joomla website.
Configuring the Versatility III Custom Login Module
Often there's a need for a nice clean login module to complete the new professional site you are working on. However, the default Joomla! login module uses some ugly tables and you can't turn of certain things to get that svelte look you want so badly. RocketTheme has created a modified version of the default Joomla! login module built to fill this need and you can see it in action at the very top of this demo.
You can access the module configuration screen and edit the module by clicking on the module title of the module named RokLogin Form
The key parts to modify are as follows:
- Change the name of the module to Member Login
- Ensure the module is published in the correct position, header is the position reserved for this module in Versatility III .
- Published is set to Yes
- Choose the Pages/Items where this module should be shown. The easiest solution is to choose All
- Lastly, this module has two new properties to cut down on the visual clutter, so we set the Forgot Password Link to Hide and the Auto-Remember property to True
Configuring the Versatility III Flickr Module
The Versatility III Flickr Module uses the Flickr Badge script to dispaly flickr images on your Joomla! website.
The Flickr Images module configuration allows you to customize various aspects of the module to display Flickr images exactly the way you want them. You can customize the module by following these steps:
- In the Joomla Administrator, go to Site and then Site Modules. This will bring up a list of all of the installed modules. Find "Flickr Images" on the list and click on the title to go to the Module configuration.
- In the Module configuration, there are various options that you can customize to your needs including: Image Source, Flickr ID (User or Group), Tag (If source is set to Tag), Number of Images to display, Module display size, and more.
