Msocial demo site installation

I have downloaded "Msocial" quick start package for Joomla 2.5 (gk_msocial_quickstart_J!25.zip) and I have seen that it also install Joomla package. Instead I would like to install the demo site you prepared for Jomsocial but without reinstalling Joomla 2.5 because I have it already installed with a lot of configurations and modules. So is it possible to have a package that let me to install the msocial demo site without reinstall Joomla again?

Thanks a lot.

Hi.
I tried to understand your request but I couldn't.
You have your own content and Msocial template - why you still need demo content from quickstart?
or maybe you can tell me what kind of content you need from demo: menus , articles, categories ?

If you need only template - install only template on your site.

Demo content has many useful elements…..for example: Social Icons in the middle….transition effects (take a look when you load the home page for the first time: images fall down from the top! etc etc), etc.

How can I take separately all this elements from demo's site?

Best regards,

Luca

Ok, now is all clear.
1) First to have to know the position of module from demo of element what you needed
2) Second, all configuration or HTML code you will find here: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... iguration/

For example for "F" (facebook) icon we've used:

Code: Select all

<a href="#" class="gkIcon gkColorFb"><i class="icon-facebook"></i></a>

inside custom HTML module.
and
for "Bird" (twitter)

Code: Select all

<a href="#" class="gkIcon gkColorTwitter"><i class="icon-twitter"></i></a>

p.s.
Those all blocks (photos, icons, etc.) were/are inside GK Grid module.

Point 1): How can I know the positions assigned to the modules in the demo site?
Point 2) In that link do I find configuration of html code used in the demo site that uses Msocial template?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Luca

ad 1) Use this tip: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/gen ... templates/

ad 2) Probably you thought about this: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... iguration/

If you want to be 100% sure you have to install quickstart on sub-domain or inside folder to check how we did it.

FYI, I installed the demo and for all the grids all that was done was to create a bunch of custom html modules with blank images. There was not text block but there was the social media blocks. Why I am here is because I needed to know how you setup the text blocks because nothing I was doing worked. I have always been able to rely on the demo but in this case it did not help much.

Maybe read this manual: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... k5-module/
About GK Grid module.

If won't help I can create a short movie for you how to use this module.

For example for "F" (facebook) icon we've used:

Code: Select all

<a href="#" class="gkIcon gkColorFb"><i class="icon-facebook"></i></a>

inside custom HTML module.
and
for "Bird" (twitter)

Code: Select all

<a href="#" class="gkIcon gkColorTwitter"><i class="icon-twitter"></i></a>

Where can I find source image files about social icons (about Twitter, Facebook, Google+ in graphic format (jpg, bmp, etc)) that css classes you quoted above refer to?

Thanks,

Luca
