T3 Framework

Introduction

Our T3 framework is the most popular template framework for Joomla. It powers all our T3 based templates and is available for Joomla 3+.

For the ease of upgrades the framework is in the plugin format and is installed separately. With over 3 years of active development the T3 framework has come a long way and is more roburst, user friendly, feature rich, easy to customize and with extensive responsive layout support which not only looks good on all browsers and devices but also works like a charm.

Access to settings

Information of Mega Menu

To create a new menu or edit an existing one go to the admin panel and choose Menus - Menu Manager form the top menu. When you have made and set up your menus, go to Extensions - Module Manager and click create new (on the top right menu). Now you just have to give your menu a title, select the menu you created from the list and give it a position. The other settings are optional and will often depend on the kind of menu. Menus are likely to go to the top-menu, right/left or footer-col-modules positions and they will be styled accordingly.

Here is how the mega menu looks like. You can adjust and manage it with ease. Beside the already created menu, you can also insert the modules.
