I. Guide to How to configure Gallery page

In Gallery page, our intention is displaying the content a little “overlapped” with the banner – this is one element that makes the template look unique. To configure this display of Gallery page, we created a class suffix: ciao-bg-upon for Gallery page.
Gallery banner
This is video tutorial configure Gallery page
1. Configure to display articles in category of Joomla & K2
In Joomla & K2 pages we used the following class suffixes:
To change module class-suffix you need go to Backend: Menu--> Main Menu--> Find & Open Menu Item you want to add module class suffix.In Ciao template you can find Menu Item Type: Category Blog(Joomla Category) and Categories(K2 Category). Then navigate to Page Display tab to change module class suffix on Page Class option:
Example: We change module class- suffix of Ciao Coffee which items are displayed on K2--> All Categories--> Ciao Coffee menu.
Below is the explanation for each class suffix:
ciao-bg-brown: using this class suffix, module’s background will be brown color
Then in frontend it will be brown color as below:
If you want your background is different color, for example, blue, for item’s background in category Ciao Coffee, you just need to change class suffix: ciao-bg-blue
ciao-bg-blue: using this class suffix, you’ll have background color as blue color. This is also our default class suffix. When you download template and install it, the default color of items in K2 and Joomla pafe is blue.
E.g.: Joomla-->Ciao Teas
To change the background of items in category Ciao Teas, go to menu Ciao Teas then change class-suffix. For example if we want to change the color to red, we’ll only have to change class suffix: ciao-bg-red
ciao-bg-red: using this class suffix your background will be red color
E.g.: Joomla-->Ciao Cake
·
ciao-bg-purple: using this class suffix, your background will be purple color.
E.g.: category Ciao Books
2. How to configure modules displaying at sidebar-2 position in Joomla& K2page
In these modules displaying at sidebar-2 position, we use these class suffixes:
bg-red
bg-yellow
bg-purple
bg-green
The detail of these class suffixes is described below:
bg-red: allows displaying background in red color
E.g.: module Recent Post has class-suffix: bg-red
Frontend
You can changecolor of background by changing class-suffix in module.E.g.: Module’s class suffix: yellow
bg-yellow: allows displaying background in yellow color
E.g.: module Recent Post
Module class suffix: bg-yellow
Frontend
bg-purple: allows displaying background in purple.
E.g.: module Recent Post
Module class suffix:bg- purple
bg-green: allows displaying background in green color
E.g.: module Tag
