RokBooster Update Adds Timesaving New Features
Written by Ryan Pierson
Many of our customers may have noticed a new update (1.1.9) has been made available for RokBooster this week. This is a fairly significant update as it adds several new features intended to make its use and application easier for site administration while adding flexibility.
In this article, we’ll examine three major feature additions that have been added to RokBooster for Joomla 2.5 and 3.x users.
All of these new features can be toggled in the Advanced Settings tab found by navigating to Administrator -> Extensions -> Plug-in Manager -> System - RokBooster in the backend of your site. Make sure RokBooster is activated as it isn’t turned on by default.
Flexible JS Ignore System
RokBooster combines and compresses JavaScript elements in order to reduce the amount of work required for both the server and client when opening a page. There are times, however, that you might wish to have a JS file ignored by RokBooster to let it run as it exists.

Wrriten by Igor Mihaljko
T3 has a powerful, flexible and feature rich mega menu built into it's core. One of the features of the megamenu is the ability to include a module as a submenu item. This article describes how to insert a module as a submenu item in your T3 based template menu.
Template Admin – Megamenu editing interface
1. Start by opening template configuration. Click on the default template title in the Template manager.
2. Click on the Megamenu button in the toolbar of the template configuration screen.
Megamenu configuration
On the Megamenu configuration screen, you will see the main menu items just under the “item Configuration” area.
1. Click on the menu item under which you would like to add module as a submenu item.
