One of hottest features in JSN Megazine is extended styles adapted for 5 most popular Joomla! extension: K2, Community Builder, Virtue Mart, JEvents and JoomGallery.

JSN Megazine 2 was re-designed with more emphasis on modern typography and we believe it provides the most comprehensive content presentation capability. Everything was designed with high level of refinement. Let's take a look at some examples below.

Headings

All HTML headings, <h1> through <h6>, are available. .h1 through .h6 classes are also available, for when you want to match the font styling of a heading but still want your text to be displayed inline.

In Sun Framework, you will only need to adjust ONE base size for headings (h5 equivalent), we will do all the math for you and the magic will happen in your site.

h1. Sun heading

h2. Sun heading

h3. Sun heading

h4. Sun heading

h5. Sun heading (used as base heading size)

h6. Sun heading

<h1>h1. Sun heading</h1>
<h2>h2. Sun heading</h2>
<h3>h3. Sun heading</h3>
<h4>h4. Sun heading</h4>
<h5>h5. Sun heading (used as base heading size)</h5>
<h6>h6. Sun heading</h6>

Blockquotes

Default blockquote

Wrap <blockquote> around any HTML as the quote. For straight quotes, we recommend a <p>.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
</blockquote>

Blockquote options

Style and content changes for simple variations on a standard <blockquote>

Naming a source

Add a <footer> for identifying the source. Wrap the name of the source work in <cite>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>
  <footer>Someone famous in <cite title="Source Title">Source Title</cite></footer>
</blockquote>

Alternate displays

Add <.blockquote-reverse> for a blockquote with right-aligned content.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.

<blockquote class="blockquote-reverse">
 <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.</p>

With the powerful Sun Framework, module styles in JSN templates, starting from JSN Megazine 2, will no longer be limited in a fixed number of boxed designs. For module styling, it's totally up to users to decide the styling properties of the modules. Take a look around to see how module styles are applied.

Module styles are configured inside Style tab (Style --> Module). You no longer need to remember the name of the module style or go through the document to find out a style name, as it can be selected within the module.

JSN Megazine provides 5 menu styles to present your website navigation. The default Joomla! built-in menu module (mod_mainmenu) is utilized, so you don't need to install any external menu modules.
