free, tutorial, and review

Comuna 3, just like Comuna 1 and 2, is a Joomla template that dedicated to be use on community websites or social networking.

Designed with a clean and sleek look, making Comuna 3 suitable for a website with full concentration on contents. CSS implementation and lightweight codes made your Joomla website will have faster loading time and efficient.

We have developed Comuna 3 in two social networking component platforms for Joomla (so, Quickstart for this template also available in two versions.)
One, using Jomsocial (software social networking joomla commercial) and Community Builder (free / GLP component).

To use the Jomsocial version, you have to buy it first at jomsocial.com (because inside the available Quickstart on our server, Jomsocial is not included.) Install the jomsocial just like you install the usual component on Quickstart Jomsocial version, then all the dummy data dab setting as you seen on demo site will immediately sincronized. And for the CB version, all are included, just like the demo site :)

Oh, like always, a template from template plazza always came in with amazing features... :D

This time, the template came along with these extra extensions:

1. TPajaxtabs Module . With this module, you can load any modules inside a module. This action will optimizing space on your website and also with the ajax ability, TPajaxtabs will only loads contents from a module when visitor click on the tab of the desireable module. To have this module run well, you have to install the component first.
2. TP autovatar plugin . This plugin will display a picture of the writer on the head of the article. The avatar itself can be choose, is it from Jomsocial avatar or Community Builder. If there's no avatar available, then it will be replaced with a default image. This TPautovatar will make your website appear more professional and lovely.
3. Recent Activities module for Community Builder . This module will display the latest activities of the members, such as updating their profile, uploading pictures, etc.
4. Latest member module for Jomsocial . Because when this template was made there's no module with function that similar to Jomsocial.com, we decided to make this module on our own. This module will display the avatar of latest members who sign in on the website, which can be set on several options that are available on the backend of this module.
5. CB superthumb module for Joomla 1.5 . CB superthumb module is a multifunction module that can display avatar from the site member with different and flexible settings. This module will give your website a more interactive and attractive look. It is actually only available on J1.0 version, and now, here it is the Joomla 1.5 version.
6. Gjive category module for Joomla 1.5 . This module also actually only available on the Joomla 1.0 version. It can display group categories in gjive, in a directory format.
7. Spesial template for Jomsocial and Community Builder . We have edited template from Jomsocial and CB a bit, to make it blended well in comuna 3.
8. Inset position that only appears on common visitor. If user have login, this position will disappear. You can use this position to publish banner, or promotion that is aimed only for common visitor. For example, a banner with suggestion to join the website. To use it, simply assigned your module on inset position.
9. Template overriding for frontpage, that will change the appearance of your Joomla frontpage into a more professional and attractive look.
10. 4 variation design, 9 font styles, 3 font sizes, and 2 template orientation, that will give you power and flexibility to decide which layout that is suitable with what you want.
