Installing the Extensions

The demo site for the Grid template showcases a number of different modules that accompany the template. Most of these modules and the JB LIbrary plugin can be found in the free extension and club extensions folder in the Joomla Bamboo download area.

The specific Joomla extensions used on the demo site include:

• the prettyBox module - used for the various galleries used on the site.
• the Extended Menu Module - used for the Superfish Menu and Panel Menu.
• the JB LIbrary Plugin - this is a system plugin used for all jQuery effects on the site.
• the jTweet module - used in the bottom slider area.
• the captifyContent module - used on the front page grid layout.
• JB Slideshow - Used for the ticker you see under the menu.

Installing the modules.

• Navigate to your Joomla admin area at yoursite.com/administrator
• Navigate to Extensions > Install/uninstall
• Click browse and locate the extension zip on your hard drive. If the zip is named unzipfirst then you must unzip the files.
