Info fields
For easy reference we call the content elements like text, title, thumbnail, author, data, rating, etc. - info fields. You can flexibly manage them, adding or removing them from the module output. You can have several module copies on your site, and for each of them you can have different set of info fields. Thus you can make every module copy look different depending on the task.
Template Usage
Here we must mention module template option, a specific feature in our products we are loved for. Our module uses templates (or you may call them module layouts) for module front-end design. That's really cool! You have one module, but it can look absolutely different and serve for different tasks, replacing several similar products.
RAXO All-mode K2 comes with three professionally designed built-in templates. They are ready to use right out of the box. These templates have absolutely flexible structure which allow you to apply them for different purposes and tasks. Built-in templates are done wisely so they always look nice no matter what combination of fields or thumbnail size you use.
Good news for web developers and HTML and CSS skilled people. You can create your own module templates to fit your specific site design (use our tutorial). Since all built-in template files are well-commented we would recommend to use them as basis for your own templates, thus considerably simplifying your task.
As an alternative we can offer our unique and original additional templates. These templates were created by professional designers and experienced coders. Yeah, it cost us a fortune. But you can save your time and money by acquiring cheaply the result of this tremendous work.
