Beginner's Guide

In the index.php of the template, around line 194, you will ﬁnd the necessary HTML code.

<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ2_TEXTRIGHTCLOSE'); ?>

</span>

</a>

</div>

The textual contents of the JavaScript variables are controlled with the Joomla language strings.

Show and hide modules

One of the biggest challenges in designing a website is the clear structuring of the content. Especially

on the homepage, you often need to place a variety of information without cluttering the page.

Figure 4: beez-Slider

Both Beez templates have the opportunity to present modules in the form of sliders.

Here, the ﬁrst output is the title of the module. By clicking on the plus sign next to the heading, the

module opens and its contents will be visible. Then, the plus sign replaced by a minus sign and the

module can be folded back. Even with this method I have used the WAI ARIA technology.

In order to use modules as described, they should be integrated in the template by using the

command.

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-8" style="beezHide" headerLevel="3"

state="0" />
