Populus features an incredible 22 fully collapsible module positions providing you with the ultimate in flexibility. Populus includes built in style and implementation for the extra module positions "user10 - user 17". These module positions are not defined in a default Joomla install and must be added.

You can add these additional module positions by going to "Site > Template Manager > Module Positions" in your Joomla administrator. Add each of the additional module positions by entering the name in the "module position" field. Then click Save. Now your extra module positions will be ready for you to place module content into, Populus will take care of the rest.

Mootools Integration

Populus utilises the javascript library known as mootools to power special effects such as the RokMooMenu, RokSlide integration, and RokZoom features. Populus uses the latest development build of the mootools javascript library, but is also now compatible with the earlier 1.11 version of mootools as well for better integration and backwards compatibility.

Populus' built in mootools javascript and functionality can also be disabled, should you need to use third party extensions which utilise other javascript libraries. Visit the RocketTheme Populus forum for more information. You can find out more information about Mootools on their website, located at http://mootools.net.
