Jiggle Effect for Catalyst Template

Adding the "Jiggle Effect" to the Advert Modules

Once you have your advert modules in place, you will notice that on the demo there is a "jiggle effect" animation when mousing over those blocks. This can be added to your own template by creating a new module and inserting custom javascript.

Go to Admin > Modules > Site Modules
In the top right corner, select the "New" button
Be sure to set the Show Title to "No", and the Module Position to "debug"

Next, download the file below. In it are the directions and the javascript.

Be sure to paste the javascript into the content section using the HTML editor mode.

Minimizing the More-Info tab

The Catalyst template has the "More Info" and the top tab open by default
If a module is published in those positions, the tab is expanded so visitors can see the modules.

If you want those modules minimized by default there is a simple fix.

Go to the directory

templates/rt_catalyst/js/

Edit

   roktoppanel.js

Search for "show"

You will see:

   bottomcookie|show|roktoppanel

Change it to

   bottomcookie|hide|roktoppanel
