Mercado - Joomla Template

Mercado, the March 2011 release, is the epitome of elegant eCommerce integration, sporting three shopping solutions; in addition to its refined visuals, style and structure.

The theme has a unique design with a dedicated sidepanel, with more prominent styling, perfect to act as a focal point. Built on the Gantry Framework, Mercado features a whole range of controls over its layout and design elements, allowing for easy use and swift modification.

Dedicated Sidepanel:
In Mercado, the Sidepanel is forced on every page, and has a grid distribution of 3, leaving 9 to the Mainbody. Therefore, the Gantry layout controls only allow you to edit the Mainbody/Sidebar distribution, and not the Sidepanel distribution. You can switch the left/right position of the Sidepanel in the Gantry controls.

Control whether the Side Panel displays on the left or right in the Gantry settings: Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_mercado_j15 → Settings → Side Panel Position.

To disable the Sidepanel altogether, set Layout Mode to Component Only. Do this on a per-menu-item basis only.

Ecwid Styling Support:
Ecwid (pronounced as “eck-vid”, short for “e-commerce widgets”), is a revolutionary shopping cart that seamlessly integrates with your existing website. It can also be added to your page on social media networks, such as Facebook or mySpace.

Simply activate Ecwid Styling in Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_mercado_j15 → Advanced.

redSHOP Styling Support:
redSHOP is the leading webshop solution for Joomla. To activate the styling, enable redSHOP Styling in Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_mercado_j15 → Advanced.

Mercado has style and structural overrides for redSHOP for better integration of the redShop extension with Mercado.

Tienda Styling Support:
Tienda is a complete ecommerce extension for Joomla. it is not a fork or bridge; it is a brand new extension designed and written from scratch on Joomla's MVC framework and can therefore be easily modified or themed using Joomla's templates.

To activate the styling, enable Tienda Styling in Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_mercado_j15 → Advanced.
