RocketLauncher - Rapid Template Deployment
RocketTheme templates features some amazing advanced features and layout possibilities that open up a wide world of options for your sites. Unfortunately, the default Joomla content in a new Joomla install is very limited and does little to take advantage of the abilities of a modern Joomla template. Each of our demo sites has been highly customized to show off the abilities of each template and give that "professional touch" to the look and feel of the content. This professional look could not be achieved without hands on manual customization, that is, until now. Populus now features the exciting new RocketLauncher custom Joomla install option. With the RocketLauncher Populus Joomla installer, you can instantly create a Joomla site complete with custom content that is a perfect replica of our Populus demo site that has been professionally tuned to look its best, all with just a few clicks. The Populus RocketLauncher package consists of a full Joomla install, complete with all of the demo images, content, modules, and extensions. By running the installer, your Joomla site will be set up with all everything needed to create an exact implementation of the demo site automatically. RocketLauncher includes a FULL Joomla install, in addition to the template and demo contents. The Joomla installation process is necessary in creating the demo content, therefore RocketLauncher will only work properly as a new Joomla installation. It can not be used on an existing Joomla installation.Step One: Uploading the RocketLauncher filesDownload the separate Populus RocketLauncher package (Joomla_RT_ Populus_j15.zip) from the Populus template downloads section. Unzip the RocketLauncher package, after which you will have a folder named "Joomla_RT_ Populus_j15". Using your FTP client, upload all of the files inside of the "Joomla_RT_ Populus_j15" folder (not the folder itself) to your server as you would a standard Joomla installation package. You can upload the files with a FTP client such as Filezilla. Learn more...Step Two: Running the InstallerPoint your browser to the location where you uploaded your RocketLauncher files (whichever domain/folder you uploaded to, generally the root of your web server). You will then see the Joomla 1.5 installation screen. Follow the Joomla installation on screen instructions. IMPORTANT: Be sure to click the LOAD SAMPLE DATA button in step 6 of the installation in order to load all of the demo content into your installation. |

Populus utilises the javascript library known as mootools to power special effects such as the RokMooMenu, RokSlide integration, and RokZoom features. Populus uses the latest development build of the mootools javascript library, but is also now compatible with the earlier 1.11 version of mootools as well for better integration and backwards compatibility.
Populus' built in mootools javascript and functionality can also be disabled, should you need to use third party extensions which utilise other javascript libraries. Visit the RocketTheme Populus forum for more information. You can find out more information about Mootools on their website, located at http://mootools.net.
