RTSplitMenu Menu Information
This exclusive RocketTheme menu system in this template use the mainmenu by default and this menu is configured in the admin administator. For these to function correctly, understand that the %u2018top level%u2019 menu items will show up as the horizontal buttons across the top of the template. For sub menu items, assign Parent Item to these top menus to the top-level item. These will then show up below in a submenu when you click on a top-level item. For an example of this check out the demo server
Instructions
1. Install as normal using the Site Templates Installer
2. The primary navigation for this template uses the exclusive RTSplitMenu System by default. You can change this by editing the $menu_name variable in index.php (see below for example). You will need to keep the number of top-level menu items to 5 or 6 to ensure the menu does not wrap and cause undesirable effects. Refer to the menu instructions above to find out how to create the menu properly.
3. Follow the Module Position guide below to see the available module positions and place your modules accordingly. The sample content Joomla/Mambo modules should give you a good place to start
4. This template can be set to thin, wide configuration. Please note that in thin mode you do not have much room for content, so please watch for any content that is to large for the mainbody area as this will break the layout.

NOTES:
1. This template fully supports full width configurations for use with galleries or forums, make sure you do not publish any modules in left or right and the %u2018mainbody%u2019 will fill the entire width.
