    • We made a decision a while back to not include K2 in our RL's or our Demos because frankly it's very invasive and a resource hog. Even when it's not included on a page (module or component), it runs a very large system plugin. Also it loads JQuery on every page even if nothing is using it. It really should have some 'smarts' put in so that it loads the stuff it needs ONLY when it's needed.

      Also, having 3rd party extensions in our packages means its even harder to stay up to date with any updates they may have. Better to just get the latest and greatest from the developer themselves.

      — Completly agree with you, it so much you can do with only Joomla and few small key extensions.

      About Metropolis —
      Again RocketTheme show their stuff.

      I can feel in this template the excitement of the people behind Rocket Theme to work with something new. It show trough.

      Great template.
      As always, some details, but I will discuss that in the Metropolis forum.

      I‘m impress and I start to like the responsive stuff - Make sense and demonstrate beautifully here.

    • Oooooh! I really like it! One aspect I particularly like is the simplicity of the menu design. This looks like a really useful, flexible template. Can't wait to get time to mess around with it!

      Understood. Thanks Andy.

    • Hi MKTG Experts,

      Is that a screenshot of our demo site? What is it being viewed on and what resolution so we can try to replicate.

      If it isn't our demo site but rather a client site then you should get your client to post details in the Metropolis forum, as you do not have access because you do not have a valid subscription. Probably why you posted in this thread.

      Cheers

    • Please search forums before posting. Please make sure your post includes the version of the CMS you are using and a link to the problem. Annotations on screenshots can also be helpful to explain problems/goals. Please use the "secure" tab for confidential information
