A guide to the basic Chromatophore customisation options that can be configured in the template "index.php" file with a description of each of the available options and how they affect the presentation of the template.
Chromatophore features several built in configuration options that have been designed to be easily changed with a single control. You can take advantage of these customisation options by making changes in the Chromatophore "index.php" file. Here is a breakdown of the available options:
$default_style = "Warm Vintage:overlay-stripes-vert,#342f29,#dbd6c5,#8f4721,
#ebd8c7,#587265,#dff0e9";
$enable_colorchooser = "true"; // true | false
$enable_ie6warn = "true"; // true | false
$enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false
$font_family = "helvetica"; // synapse |geneva | optima | helvetica | trebuchet
lucida | georgia | palatino
$template_width = "962"; // width in px
$leftcolumn_width = "220"; // width in px
$rightcolumn_width = "220"; // width in px
$splitmenu_col = "rightcol"; // leftcol | rightcol
$menu_name = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default,
$menu_type = "moomenu"; // moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu
$default_font = "default"; // smaller | default | larger
$show_pathway = "false"; // true | false
$show_moduleslider = "true"; // true | false
// module slider configuration
$max_mods_per_row = 3; // maximum number of modules per row
(adjust the height if this wraps)
$modules_list = array(array("title"=>"Group 1", "module"=>"advert1"),
array("title"=>"Group 2", "module"=>"advert2"),
array("title"=>"Group 3", "module"=>"advert3"),
array("title"=>"Group 4", "module"=>"advert4"),
array("title"=>"Group 5", "module"=>"advert5"));
You can choose to show the color chooser palette for you and your visitors.
$enable_colorchooser = "true";
// true | false
Warn your visitors using Internet Explorer 6 to upgrade to a more secure version with this toggle.
$enable_ie6warn = "true";
// true | false
You can choose which font you would like to use for your titles.
$font_family= "geneva";
// geneva|optima|helvetica|
trebuchet|lucida|georgia|palatino
With the following setting, you can choose the width of the template.
$template_width= "962";
// width in px
With the following setting, you can choose the width of the left column.
$leftcolumn_width= "220";
// width in px
With the following setting, you can choose the width of the right column.
$rightcolumn_width= "220";
// width in px
With this setting, choose to have the sidebar placed on the left or right of the mainbody. The name of the module positions changes to reflect left or right.
$splitmenu_col = "rightcol";
// leftcol | rightcol
Based on your own personal preference, you can set the default font size with this setting below.
$default_font ="default";
// smaller | default | larger
This setting controls whether the pathway appears on your site.
$show_pathway= "false";
// true | false
There is now a convenient toggle to show the tabbed modules or not.
$show_moduleslider = "true";
// true | false
Module List
With the setting illustrated below, you can control the aspects of the integrated rokslide feature to a great extent. You can control the tab title and also the module position which appears in each of the tabs.
In the code snippet, we have 5 lines, each line controls a single tab. Each line is segregated into 2 distinct parts. These are "title"=>"Tab Title", which controls the Tab Title. The second part is "module"=>"Module Position"),
$modules_list = array(array("title"=>"Group 1 Title", "module"=>"advert1"),
array("title"=>"Group 2 Title", "module"=>"advert2"),
array("title"=>"Group 3 Title", "module"=>"advert3"),
array("title"=>"Group 4 Title", "module"=>"advert4"),
array("title"=>"Group 5 Title", "module"=>"advert5"));
