<!--IMAGE images/stories/rotator-demo2.png IMAGE--> Versatility 4 offers the most module positions and layout configurations of any template we've ever created. 45 module positions, a plethora of banner and block advertising locations, as well as up to 7 columns allow Versatility 4 to adapt to nearly any configuration you could want.
Integrated RokSlide Tabbed Modules
For Versatility IV, 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 User11 to User20, 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 User15 position and they will appear in a horizontal layout in Tab 1.
You can find more details about these configuration options on the Basic Customisations page.
