Your Guide to Recreating Elements of the Osmosis Demo for Joomla
The SidePanel featured in Osmosis gives you the ability to dynamically reveal modular content along the side of the page. In the home page of our demo, we used a collection of modules and features that appear and/or move as you scroll down the page.
The SidePanel position can be home to any module type. Any modules you assign to the position will be static, while you have the option of adding the logo and sidepanel menu as dynamic elements that appear as you scroll down the page. This ensures that your visitors will be able to see your logo and access the main menu from anywhere on the page.
You can turn the SidePanel on and off via the template settings menu. You can reach these settings by navigating to Administrator > Extensions > Template Manager > Osmosis > Style and toggling the SidePanel Style setting.
This is also where you can turn the SidePanel Logo and SidePanel Menu on or off. By turning them on, they will appear as dynamic elements once you scroll far enough down the page.
There are two static modules assigned to the SidePanel position. Both are Custom HTML module types.
This is a Custom HTML module. You will find the settings used in our demo below.
Any mod_custom (Custom HTML) modules are best handled using either RokPad or no editor as a WYSIWYG editor can cause issues with any code that exists in the Custom Output field.
