For MediaMogul, we have integrated RokSlide into the core of the template so you have the RokSlide functionality in terms of tabs with stylish transitional effects with the modular layout of the template.
RokSlide by default has 5 tabs available. Each tab has a module position ranging from User12 to User16, respective to the individual tab. Therefore, you have a single modular position per tab but you have the option of applying multiple modules to a single position. For example, you can assign 3 modules to the User12 position and they will appear in a horizontal layout in Tab 1.
Configuration of the integrated RokSlide itself is controlled in the Administrator at Admin -> Extensions > Template Manager > MediaMogul
In the configuration panel, we have 5 groups, each groups controls a single tab. Each group is segregated into 2 distinct parts. These are Tab Title which controls the Tab Title. The second part is Tab Module
You will see in the above screenshot, the Module slide height settings. Similarly with the module count
In addition to setting the module slider height in the parameters, you will also need to specify a height for the #moduleslider-size in the “template_css.css” as well to ensure that the module slider shows at the proper size.
