Hi all,
I have been a member of Rocket theme a short while and although very new to joomla I have messed around with a few of your templates and greatly enjoyed using them and the ability to edit them without too much diffilcult (well apart from the learning curve).
My problem is this, I would like to be able to use the following components in the final template I decide on, without problems relating to javascript troubles, which I am unable to solve myself or to technical for me. I am using Joomla 1.013.
Ajax shoutbox 1.2
Monoslideshow
Expose
Community Builder
Fireboard
Fblatest (latest post module for fireboard)
The template ideally will have at least 10 module positions and capable of running a Shoutbox, community Builder and Monoslideshow all on the same page. If someone can recommend other modules that will do the same job as the ones named above please say, and a template suitable for a clan/game/personal site be really appreciated.
I have read a good many posts on the forums, but still am undecided on template best for me, a darkish theme be nice - maybe someone has an example of a few websites I can look at that uses the above features so it gives me a better idea of what I can achieve with certain templates and modules?
I really liked Bentobox dark style 2, but did not like the green footer around the module user 6, user 7, user 8 position and did not know how to easily change it to a darker colour.
And then tried Versatility 3, but the control panel conflicts with the shoutbox, and I really wanted to use the control panel with the community builder added.
So a little frustrated, so I ask question and hope posted in right section
Thank you

i'd go versatility 3 (simply for the number of module positions) but DarkMatter (using RocketLauncher) would make it very easy for you
if all you're going to use are the things above you shouldn't have a problem with javascript ... although i know what you mean with javascript ... the thing is; if you're not using it remove it and if you're using all of it ... well, i've removed my original comment. javascript is like salt, you need some but too much, even if very nice, is not good for you or your website
re. the issue syou've had though - do you have fireworks? if you do open up the source file, change the colours, and then export those images
re. control panel in v3 - remove it because you'll always have issues with that if you're using lots of javascript
so, i guess what i'm saying is be careful with the javascrip and remove what you dont use - www.c3p0.se - sweden

Versatility III is the way to go. I have most of these options/modules installed on my site.
The only thing I am looking for would be an extension to the rockettheme templates that also cover Fireboard/Joomlaboard and Community Builder.
Here is the site if you want to see those modules in action with Versatility III: www.starVmax.com - www.starVmax.com
