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.

Fusion Menu

Fusion requires RokNavMenu to be installed in order for it work and needs to be at least version 1.7

Fusion is effectively a dropdown menu which combines the former RokMoomenu and Suckerfish systems into one, offering both javascript enhanced and basic, simple dropdown modes. The menu itself is built on the rewritten core of the latest revision of RokNavMenu, the core application behind all RocketTheme menus.

Fusion offers a series of new abilities ranging from Menu Icons, Subtext support and much greater controls over the Multiple Column ability for dropdowns.

Template Configuration

You can configure Fusion Menu at Extensions → Template Manager → rt_nexus_j15 and you will find all parameters under the Menu Configuration Options heading. A preview of these options can be seen in the adjacent screenshot.

To disable javascript in Fusion, to revert it to Suckerfish type functionality, set the Enable JavaScript option to No

Menu Icons

Fusion has support for individual menu icons for its dropdown menu items. These images are loaded from the /templates/rt_nexus_j15/images/menus/ directory where you will find 31 images by default.

To setup a Menu Icon, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Menu Image field in Parameters (Template theme - nexus-fusion) and select an image from the dropdown.

Subtext

Subtext is the term used to describe the secondary text placed underneath the menu title.

To add your own Subtext, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Subtext field in Parameters (Template theme - nexus-fusion) and insert your desired text.

If you are using SplitMenu, insert your Subtext into the Parameters (Template theme - nexus-splitmenu) section. image   image   image

Multiple Dropdown Columns

Fusion has the facility for dynamic column control for its dropdown. You can choose between single (1) or double (2) column modes for children of every single menu item via configuration.

To control the number of columns of each menu item, go to Menu → Mainmenu → Select/Create a Menu Item. Locate the Columns of Children field in Parameters (Template theme - nexus-fusion) and choose either 1 or 2.

Dynamic Child Direction

Typically, a dropdown menu column will extend beyond the width of the browser window if you have enough child levels. However, with Fusion, the menu detects the width of the browser and will change the direction of menu pullouts so all menu items are visible without the need to scroll.
