Aside Section
-
This area of the page consists of the Aside section, which sits to the right of the Mainbar section in the Layout Manager.
Here is a breakdown of the modules used in the aside
module position assigned to the Aside section in the Layout Manager for the Blog sample page:
- RokAjaxSearch (Module)
- Custom HTML (Module)
- Login (Module)
- Who's Online (Module)
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.
RokAjaxSearch (Module)
The Site Search area of the front page is a mod_rokajaxsearch module that allows visitors to search your site using the powerful RokAjaxSearch tool.
