This is the native "Articles - Category" Module of Joomla, to have our layout you should use the Intro image on each article of the category that you'd like to show.
To have a good looking display we'd like to suggest to use the same sizes for each image.

This is simple Custom module of Joomla, you could copy and past in your html editor of Joomla our html structure from the code below and just change the information and image with yours:

We use the Basic Login module of Joomla.
Go to Extensions » Modules Manager. Click on New. Select a Login Module

As you can see in our demo website, we used a particular login display, to have this kind of layout, please, follow this instructions:

To have a multilanguage website you can use the native language manager of Joomla, in our demo website we used the Languages switcher module.
Go to Extensions » Modules Manager. Click on New. Select a Languages switcher

With this module you can choose if you want a dropdown list of your languages or just the little flags listed, we used the dropdown display:

To see how we have setup this module in the Back-end: Page 1

Some template position could have some background color, in the case you'd like to have a transparent background, you could use it class suffix.

The White class suffix could be used in some situation where there is a default grey or color background and you'd like to use the loadposition to setup a new module hover the other one.

With this class suffix you are going to center the Title of your module.

With this class it's possible to have a border line under the title, in our screenshot you could see the "title-center" and the "underline" Class Suffix mixed.

To have the title module with two colors, like our demo website, you have to use two pipes between the two Title parts. (Backend example)

Here the Frontend example:

This class suffix will center all your module text, it'd be useful when you can't manage the text directly.

This Class Suffix add a border top above a module.

This module add at the bottom of your module a little centered grey row, you can see an example just under Our Rooms module.

Those Classes setup the module width, you can setup manually the width of each module to manage more freely the layout that you'd like to have. The default width for each module is 100%.

You can use the following class suffix to define the width of your module:

• width100
• width50
• width33
• width25
• width20

With this Class Suffix you are going to hide a particular module in the smarthphone view.

Our homepage article:

Here we'll show you how we built our article homepage, it's just a simple html code that you have to copy and paste in your html editor of Joomla and change the information that you want:

As you could see, most of our template pages have a image banner just under the Main Menu, this is the Vik Wall Image module.

Here the module configuration for these pages:

• Title: SEARCH YOUR ROOM
• Description: It is a long established fact that a reader. (It has been centered)
  
  OPTIONS
• Type Image: Scroll
• Title Effect: FadeInDown
• Description Effect: FadeInUp

Click on the image to enlarge it.

From the 1.9 template version has been added the custom.css file to place all your CSS customization. It is recommended to add all your modifications on this file, in this way you'll never lose them, this file will be not overridden in the future template updates.

You can find the file in the panel Extensions > Templates > Templates > e4jSeasons Files and Details > css > custom.css

Sometimes happens, when you'd installed all the modules, that the Vik Content Slider is not working properly or that the calendar of some Vik modules is not working.

In this case your website might have a jQuery Conflicts, it means that too many modules are loading a jQuery library, to solve this problem you have to disable all the Load jQuery parameters in all the Vik Extensions that are enabled, including the Slider module either.

It could be a rare possibility that, if you are using an Hosting with a Windows server or a server that has some particular configuration, it could not be configurate to read correctly the Less library, in this case you could have some problems to see the color variation correctly, to solve this issue you should disable the Less library in the tab OPTIONS > Template Advanced parameters.

Sometimes could happens that if you are using the structure needed from the Awesome icon library you can't see the icons, if you see the code of your editor and can't see the structure anymore it means that the editor of your Joomla is filtring the html code beacuse if find some empty element.

To solve this problem you have to enable the empty element in this way, go to Extensions > Plugins > Editor - TinyMCE

Once you've opened the plugin you have to add in the Extended Valid Elements this code:

i[*]

When you've add this code, you should try again to use the element in your editor and it should work correctly.
