Synapse Basic Customisation

A guide to the basic Synapse 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.

Synapse 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 Synapse "index.php" file. Here is a breakdown of the available options:

$default_style      = "style1";	  // [style1...style10]
 
$header_style       = "header5";  // [header1... header6]

$enable_ie6warn     = "true";     // true | false

$enable_rokzoom     = "true";	  // true | false

$enable_pngfix	    = "false";	  // true | false

$enable_fontspans   = "true";     // true | false (required for sifr)

$font_family        = "geneva";   // geneva | optima | helvetica | trebuchet 
 				      lucida | georgia | palatino

$template_width     = "962";	  // width in px

$leftcolumn_width   = "250";	  // width in px

$righttcolumn_width = "250";	  // width in px

$splitmenu_col      = "right";	  // leftcol | rightcol

$menu_name          = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default,   

$menu_type          = "splitmenu";// moomenu | suckerfish | splitmenu

$default_font 	     = "default"; // smaller | default | larger

$show_fontbuttons   = "true";	  // true | false

$show_pathway 	     = "true";    // 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"=>"user7"),
			   array("title"=>"Group 2", "module"=>"user8"),
			   array("title"=>"Group 3", "module"=>"user9"),
			   array("title"=>"Group 4", "module"=>"user10"),

Based on your own personal preference, you can set the default font size with this setting below.

Font Buttons

You can enable or disable the font sizer buttons that will display at the top of the template.

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"=>"user7"),

array("title"=>"Group 2 Title", "module"=>"user8"),

array("title"=>"Group 3 Title", "module"=>"user9"),

array("title"=>"Group 4 Title", "module"=>"user10"),

array("title"=>"Group 5 Title", "module"=>"user11"));

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.
