Module Positions

module positions

This template has support for 15 module positions. All module positions are collapsible. If no modules are published on some module positions, those module positions will automatically collapse.

Sparky framework allows you to add more module positions (if you need them) easily with user-friendly drag and drop technology. To check this, open template parameters and go to the Layout Designer tab.

The image that you can see on the right side represents a "map" of all default module positions of Hot Explorer template.

Adding new positions and changing existing is easy with Sparky's Layout Editor

No Conflicts

jQuery is powerful javascript library. Almost all of our extensions are based on that library (Top Menu, Hot Image Slider, Hot Newsflash, Hot Joomla Gallery, Hot Joomla Carousel, Lightbox, Font resizer, more are coming...). However, many Joomla extensions from other providers use other libraries (mooTools or prototype).

Using them together on a page will probably make conflicts. As a result, some or all of your extensions would not work.

However, we have found a solution. Our Joomla extensions use "jQuery noConflict mode". Therefore, with our templates, beside our extensions, you can also use other extensions from other providers based on other libraries.

Infinite Color Schemes

Unlimited color options! Select colors and make your template unique! This is useful if you want to match the main template color with your company logo or brand. All our templates come with several pre-defined color schemes.

To get to the parameters in your Joomla Admin go to: Extensions > Template Manager and click on the template name. Beside many other parameters, here you can select colors. The template colors can be selected using a handy palette tool or entered manually in hexadecimal format (combination of 6 letters and numbers). If you don't have Photoshop, Fireworks or similar application, Color Combos can help you to find out the hexadecimal code of your color.

Change few options in template parameters and... Boom! You got template with completely new experience!

Newer versions of Joomla (after 1.6) have a nice new feature in template manager. It's possible to save multiple template styles! If you are using a template that has many parameters (like our templates), and you wish to use different template settings for Page A and Page B, it's now possible. Please read Joomla template styles from our Blog to learn more about this.

Hot Explorer Template

As holiday season is approaching, perhaps it's the right time for the exploration of the travel agencies website. This is where people look for a perfect place for their summer hideaway. We prepared another Hot template for websites about tourism which could help travel agencies to create a clean and usable responsive website for their business. It's based on Joomla with K2 component, but can be used even without K2.

SEO Friendly

You don't need a nice website if Google can't index it and position it higher in search results.

All Hot Joomla Templates are well optimized for search engines. The template code is valid and passes W3C Markup Validation.

Unlike older versions, newer Joomla versions are well optimized for SEO out of the box. Joomla now use H1 and H2 tags for headings, allow you to enter descriptions for each page, make SEF links better and has many other advantages for semantic HTML code and better SEO. Joomla and our templates are the best combination for your better ranking!
