Template parameters
Show right column? Controls the display or not of the right column. If you select NO you can convert Philoxenia from a 3-columns template to a 2-columns template. The width of the main column is being exanded and reduced automatically in order for the whole template width to stay intact (970px).
Columns width Sets the columns width in pixels. Range 160 to 280. Default value is 180.
Alternative language 1 A published language other than the site's default.
META keywords 1 A comma separated list of META keywords written for the alternative language 1.
META description 1 A small description text of what your site is about that will be used as META description for the alternative language 1.
Alternative slogan 1 A slogan that will be displayed in the site top area, bellow the logo, for the alternative language 2.
Alternative language 2 A published language other than the site's default and alternative language 1.

Show pathway Controls the display of the pathway. There are 3 options here.
No, to hide completely the pathway.
Yes, to always display the pathway.
Yes but no for IOS Reservations pages, Will show the pathway to all pages except for those of IOS Reservations component. This is the best choice if you use IOSR, as the component has its own pathway and it is not nice to display 2 pathways simultaneously.
Radius Set the radius in pixels of the rounded boxes. Range 4 to 12. Default value is 6.
Rounded standard modules If YES all modules without CSS suffix will be displayed as rounded.
Rounded module title If YES all titles (h3 tags) of modules without CSS suffix will be displayed as rounded.
Rounded input boxes If YES input text boxes will be displayed with rounded corners.
Rounded buttons If YES buttons will be displayed with rounded corners.
Custom Javascript If you wish to load a custom javascript file, you dont have to edit your template! Just write here the full URL to the javascript file and Philoxenia will load this file in the template's head section.
Tips
Modules positions
Modules positions user3 and user4 are being displayed in the center column of the template bellow positions header and user2 and exactly above the main content. user3 and user4 have 50% width each but if one of these positions has no modules assigned to it the other position is being expanding to 100% width covering the whole central area of the template.
Modules positions user5, user6 and user7 are being displayed to the bottom area of the template exactly above the site footer. Each of these positions have width 33% but can expand to 66% meaning that you can display 2 or 3 modules in a row.
To display a module with width 33% assign to it the CSS suffix -bottom.
To display a module with width 66% assign to it the CSS suffix -bottom2.
If no modules are assigned to positions user5, user6 and user7 then the whole bottom area will be hidden.
For help on how to set up module positions and suffixes read the Detailed philoxenia guide
Logo images
To change the top logo change this file:
templates/philoxenia/images/logo.jpg
To change the footer logo change these files:
templates/philoxenia/images/footer_logo.png templates/philoxenia/images/footer_logo_hover.png
Note that Philoxenia uses also a hover image (footer_logo_hover.png) for the footer logo that is being displayed on mouse over.
Important notes
- Internet explorer 6/7/8 does not support yet rounded INPUT elements.
- An Internet explorer 6/7/8 bug prevents rounding of background images. In these cases instead of the background image you will see a flat background colour. Philoxenia is built in a way that this IE bug is not noticable.
- Is Open Source does not provide guarantee or support for templates.
- The template is not RTL compatible. If you have a language published such as Arabic, Persian or Hebrew, you will have to make an RTL compatible version of its CSS by your self.
