RokGallery is a ground-up revolutionary gallery extension, developed to be hugely flexible, customizable and thus extendable far into the future.
The system itself is built on a custom tag-based architecture with the ability to have multiple tag-based galleries. RokGallery uses design and concepts that have been traditionally reserved for platform-native applications and are for the first time making their way into a web environment. For example, you will not have to resize images, or make thumbs before using them in RokGallery, just upload the raw image and use the RokGallery slice editor to resize and crop the images. This non-destructive editing method allows you to create and edit your image size, cropped view, etc, at any point without having to reupload or recreate your image in external photo editing software.
Other features include an all-new multi-file image upload mechanism that incorporates the latest HTML5 drag-and-drop upload functionality, but can also fall back to Flash if your browser doesn’t yet support this feature. Compound filtering can be used to isolate specific images you are looking for and a sophisticated Jobs Manager handles processes like image resizing in the background so you can get on with your work without having to wait for time-consuming image computations to complete.
Access the RokGallery Component at Admin → Components → RokGallery
This section is an introduction to the general interface of RokGallery, specific instructions on the functions, such as filtering, will be explained below.
#1 Image Controls
#2 Gallery Controls
#3/4 Filters
The filters have a range of variables such as gallery, file type, published etc... to allow you to sort your images for management in an efficient and simple manner. Statistics for the filters appear at #4.
RokGallery uses a HTMl5 file uploader, or Flash for unsupported browsers.
All photos will appear at Admin → Components → RokGallery. RokGallery has support for multiple image selection, either by drag and highlight with the cursor, or via individual selection with the Shift Key and click.
Jobs Manager
The Jobs Manager provides you a log of operations undergoing or undergone in RokGallery. You can view:
RokGallery is a tagged based gallery component, therefore, Galleries are controlled by tags and not specific photos in albums. Subsequently, you can easily have one master photo in multiple albums with ease.
A single image can appear in numerous galleries based on its tag, and also can be different sizes based on the gallery settings, without editing the original image.
Remember to Publish a Gallery after clicking Save. If you make any changes to a Gallery, whether in the Galleries Manager, or in the Image Slice Editor, you will need to re-Save in the Galleries Manager for the changes to take place on the site.
RokGallery has a very advanced image editor, akin to a native application. The various parts will be discussed below.
After selecting the edit button, you will be able to edit the META data of the image, the image itself, plus delete or publish the image.
In the Slice Editor, you can edit the META data and the actual image. You can crop the image, similar to that of an native application, with a set or variable marquee, in addition to Zoom controls. Edits in the Slice Editor are on a per gallery/tag basis.
The original image that was uploaded is maintained, as a new image is created after applying the crop. This can be reverted at any time from the Slice Editor.
Additionally, you can also Share the slice via the Share button, or Delete the image via the Delete button, from the Image Editor:
Tagging is at the core of RokGallery, and with its multi-selection ability, you can easily manage tags across multiple images with great ease. Simply highlight several images and click Tags. Here, you can add, remove, or change any common tags applied to your selection.
If you wanted to quickly move several images to another gallery, simply change their tag.
A system based on tagging needs an advanced search facility, so RokGallery employs a simple but powerful filtering mechanism:

Order by Type (Asc/Des)
Filters are not singular and can be applied cumulatively:
RokTabs is a tabbed content module, standalone and themed. Content is transitioned, either by fade or scroll, powered by Mootools, which can be automatic or manual. Plugin support is also featured, whether loading module positions, read more content, or the K2 CCK component.
Options available at Admin → Extensions → Module Manager → Roktabs Module. Important demo settings are highlighted accordingly:
Subtract roktabs-links margins needs to be enabled for best visual effect with scrollable tabs.

Access the Style Control settings from: Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → (J15) rt_enigma_j15 or (J17) rt_enigma → Settings
Simple configure the options, then save and Gantry will automatically load the modified preset to your site.
With Gantry, the ability to assign a certain style to an individual page has never been easier and/or more efficient. Just follow these simple steps:
Gantry Framework: Per Menu Item ControlsGantry sets the dimensions of the logo, so CSS modification is unnecessary.
Please ensure you are using the latest version of RokNavMenu, available here.
To find all the parameters for Fusion Menu and Splitmenu, such as transitions, duration and sublevel position, go to:
Descriptions of each template parameter can be seen when you mouseover the label of each option.
Fusion Menu is a menu theme of the RokNavMenu extension, the addon that drives all RocketTheme template menus. It is primarily a javascript enhanced CSS dropdown menu, that combines standard suckerfish type functionality with animations, transitions and other advanced effects powered by Mootools.
All Menu Items can be edited from Admin → Menu → Menu Name → Menu Item.
Menu Columns
Columns of Child Items allows you to determine how many columns the Fusion dropdowns are presented in. You can have anywhere between a single dropdown to a four column dropdown.
Item Distribution
Item Distribution allows you to control how the menu items are ordered in the dropdowns:
NOTE: If your Columns of Child Items setting is configured to be 2 or more columns, you will need to manually set the column widths and distribution, as outlined below. The default is 180px which is too small for multiple columns.
Drop-Down Width (px)
Drop-Down Width (px) determines the total width of the dropdown, regardless of how many columns are shown. This option is to be used in conjunction with Column Widths (px)
Column Widths (px)
Column Widths (px) determines the width of each Column. Separate each width by a comma. The final column's width is determined automatically. This option is to be used in conjunction with Drop-Down Width (px)
Below are some example configurations:
What is Grouping?
Group Child Items changes the behaviour of child items in the dropdown menus, instead of creating a dropdown for the immediate sublevel, this option places them inline. See below for an illustrated example of the differences:
Configuration
NOTE: Grouping cannot be applied to root items, only child items.
Set Group Child Items to Yes to activate the mode. The sublevels well then appear below the parent menu item in a categorical type structure.
Fusion is now capable of loading individual modules or entire module positions inside its dropdowns.
A static menu system that displays 1st and 2nd level items in the main horizontal menu and further children in the Sidebar.
Code Modification: Remove the Menu in the Title
(J15) Open /templates/rt_enigma_j15/html/modules.php:
(J17) Open /templates/rt_enigma/html/modules.php:
Change
<?php echo $menu_title_item->name.' '.JText::_('Menu'); ?>
To
<?php echo $menu_title_item->name; ?>
Or delete the entire line.
Go to Admin → Menu → A Menu → A Menu Item → Select a Parent Item, and it will appear as a child of it.
Note: The Bundle Template is only necessary if the Gantry Library is not installed at /components/com_gantry (J15) or /libraries/gantry (J17).

Note: All sample content images will be replaced with blank versions in the RocketLauncher version.
RocketLauncher is a customized Joomla install, that installs a replica of the demo onto your site - inclusive of sample data, content, extensions, the template and sample images.
We always recommend installing a RocketLauncher first to trial and understand the template more efficiently. It must be installed as new, and not over an existing Joomla install.
Note: You can upload all the files via FTP, or use cPanel or SSH to upload the zip and unzip directly onto the server. Enquire with your hosting provider.
Go to Extensions → Template Manager → (J15) rt_enigma_j15 or (J17) rt_enigma. Mouseover the labels to view a description of each parameter.
