Third Party Extensions

Panacea has compatibility styling for 5 major third party extensions: JomSocial, Tienda, Virtuemart, K2 and JComments.

There is compatibility styling for all of the above extensions, as well as several RocketTheme modules such as RokTabs.

Note: All the extensions below and their peripheries will not be included in the RocketLauncher package. You will need to download and install separately.

Enabling/Disabling 3rd Party Styling

If you wish to use the compatibility styling for JomSocial, K2, Tienda, Virtuemart, and JComments, you will need to activate the styling from the Gantry administrator: Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_panacea_j15 → Advanced → Third Party Styling. If you wish to disable the styling, then proceed to slide the above option to Off

All styling is located in the /templates/rt_panacea_j15/css/extended.css file, so any customizations you wish to make, edit the contents of that CSS file.
