Tamashi

Setting up our Demo

As you can see our template only uses the component views, category, user, tag item lists and item views.

Template functionality.

From the template’s settings view apart from the colours, you can also control most of the template’s functionality.

Choose between off canvas and normal navigation
Use your own colour variations
Enter your social links
Select the main text and header font.

All these settings are located in template’s parameters.

Setting up the menus.

In the template’s parameters (template specific tab) as mentioned above you can select the look and feel of your menu.
Whether you choose the off canvas navigation or the inline menu all you need to do is to publish your menu in the tamashi_Menu position.

Using a custom menu

This template offers you the ability to use one level custom menus in both the header of the site and the footer of the site.
The module position for these menus is tamashi_Footer_1.

K2 Content and Categories setup

This template offers a simple Ghost inspired blog layout.
Due to the nature of this template higher quality/sizes images are required.

K2 Content module templates

There is a template override for the K2 Content module. You can see it in the sidebar (see the demo site for more information). To use this template in the sidebar you should use the default-listing module class.

k2.css

As you might have noticed this template does not use the default k2.css. We have completely rewritten all the template's styles to be more efficient. In case you download the standalone template package we have included a blank k2.css file in our distribution to avoid 'breaking' you site.

SASS Support

In your template's /css folder you will find a /src subfolder. There you will find all out .sass files.
We have also used Bourbon which is a simple and lightweight mixin library for Sass
