Step Two: Publishing the Module
Signal Login ModuleThis month, we have implemented a login module created by RT and Mod Squad member Chris S. We thank Chris and appreciate the effort he put into this module. The Signal Login module is installed using the procedure explained above. Once installed, we recommend publishing it to the advert3 template position. The default options are fine as the module is styled from within the template.RokContentRotatorRokContentRotator is a mootools based module that is used to display your articles in a sleek fading fashion. To set up RokContentRotator, follow the install instructions above.We will take a quick look at the parameters you will find when you install this module.
Integrated RokSlide Tabbed ModulesFor Synapse, we have integrated RokSlide into the core of the template so you have the RokSlide functionality in terms of tabs with stylish transitional effects with the modular layout of the template.RokSlide by default has 5 tabs available. Each tab has a module position ranging from User7 to User11, respective to the individual tab. Therefore, you have a single modular position per tab but you have the option of applying multiple modules to a single position. For example, you can assign 3 modules to the User11 position and they will appear in a horizontal layout in Tab 1. ConfigurationConfiguration of the integrated RokSlide itself is primarily controlled in the index.php with the other templateconfigurations. Below is a snippet related to the integrated rokslide:-
// module slider configuration
$modules_list = array(array("title"=>"Group 1 Stuff", "module"=>"user7"),
array("title"=>"Group 2 Panel", "module"=>"user8"),
array("title"=>"Group 3 Collection", "module"=>"user9"),
array("title"=>"Group 4 Assortment", "module"=>"user10"),
array("title"=>"Group 5 Items", "module"=>"user11"));
$module_slider_height = 200; // height in px
$max_mods_per_row = 3; // maximum number of modules per row
(adjust the height if this wraps)
With the setting $module_list, you can control the aspects of the integrated rokslide feature to a great extent. You can control the tab title and also the module position which appears in each of the tabs. In the code snippet, we have 5 lines, each line controls a single tab. Each line is segregated into 2 distinct parts. These are "title"=>"Tab Title", which controls the Tab Title. The second part is "module"=>"Module Position"), Module Slider HeightYou can change the height for the Rokslide tabber in the template_css.css file.
#moduleslider-size {
height:220px;
}
Module CountThe module configuration variable below controls how many consecutive modules you can have for a position.$max_mods_per_row = 3; // max number of modules per row (if wraps, adjust height) Adding new positionsWith the integrated RokSlide, you will find that you may need to add extra module positions. These positions are User10,User11 and search. These are not available by default in Joomla so you will need to create these yourself. To do this, follow the instructions below:-

The new multi-core processor overview
A multi-core CPU (or chip-level multiprocessor, CMP) combines two or more independent cores into a single package composed of a single integrated circuit (IC), called a die, or more dies packaged together. A dual-core processor contains two cores and a quad-core processor contains four cores. A multi-core microprocessor implements multiprocessing in a single physical package. A processor with all cores on a single die is called a monolithic processor.Group 2 Panel
What do you prefer? Velocity or Safety?
Software System Safety optimizes system safety in the design, development, use, and maintenance of software systems and their integration with safety critical hardware systems in an operational environment. In the past, industry in general considered increased productivity as the most important aspect of Software Engineering. Little consideration was given concerning the reliability or safety of the software product.Group 3 Collection
