Installing Framework & Template
The Expose framework itself is independent of any template. Each Expose powered template relies on the Expose framework to provide the underlying base and extensive functionality that enables the creation of such powerful sites. To make the update and deployment of framework as easy as possible we've seperated the library from template.
Framework bundle
Framework bundle consist of 2 files:
- Framework library
- Framework plugin
Framework library : This is the main framework library file works as a engine for Expose based template. Framework plugin : This is the system plugin file load mega menu parameters in Joomla backend and provide the mega menu functionality.
This system plugin must be installed and enabled from Joomla backend.
