Paradigm: Recreate the Demo

Your Guide to Using the Paradigm Theme for Magento


Introduction

You can recreate a number of different elements found on the front page of the Paradigm demo by modifying some basic extension settings. Depending on which extension you wish to recreate on the page, you may only need to add and adjust the settings of a single module.

The Paradigm theme handles most of the visual details for you.

All of the settings that need to be adjusted to match the demo can be found in the relevant sections under System -> Configuration -> RT RokMage Modules. Any options not mentioned below can be left at default settings.

ModalHeader

The ModalHeader module adds in some extra functionality to the header section of a Magento store. It connects the "Log In" link to a modal login form, and adds a text-resizer. It also adds a modal shopping cart viewer and styling to the search form and breadcrumbs.
