    Picking and Choosing from Different Templates

    Posted 14 years 9 months ago
    • I was wondering if it was possible to, for example, use the rokstories mask and number design from Somaxiom in future templates. Similarly, is it possible to use a design for a menu from one template in another. If so, could someone direct me to the instructions to do so?
      Thanks!

    • While it's not impossible it's really not possible (or practical) it terms of what we can offer you for support.

      RokStories and the Fusion menu (rok_nav_menu) are both available as standalone extensions and are included in many template, however, the are heavily customized for each template to create a certain look.

      The coding for this is in the template's css and not so easy to 'just switch or mix and match' with other templates.

      If you really want to incorporate one particular style of RokStories, the menu, or any other feature you see in one template to the next and don't have the skills to do so, I suggest posting here:

      Most questions that go unresolved or unanswered are related to people trying to do things that are not directly supported by the template. These things usually involve changing the layout or behavior of a particular part of a template. Most people who are new to web development and specifically XHTML and CSS, usually think that what they have in mind is a simple change, and don't realize quite what is involved in making it happen. This is not RT's fault, it's the XHTML and CSS specifications that define the rules. This stuff is not trivial, that's why we've gone to great lengths to make as many things as customizable and configurable from the admin as possible. If you are fairly knowledgeable in these technologies, then you probably will have no problem making changes as you realize that everything you do has trickle-down consequences to other areas of the layout as well as an impact for other browsers.

      Most support threads take two forms, the first is a legitimate bug. Any bug or issue with a template or configuration you will find quickly resolved by our moderators. Those are always given top priority. The second form is anything related to customizing, custom code, or general modification outside the bounds of the regular design, is going to get less attention. Those usually require a lot more work on the moderators part, and frankly are answered as a courtesy to help people understand what's involved in the changes they are asking for.
