The one thing that really caught my eye when purchasing this template was the "Advert1,2,3,4," module however I cannot seem to find these modules in my backend. Thank you for any help

Also where do I find the images to make my own for these modules?

How you can't find these? Did you install template using HotStart files? If you installed template only, you can create Advert1-4 yourself.

I uploaded the hot architecture zip from joomla backend. Everything came out fine except for the advert1-4 modules.

If I need to creat them myself, what kind of modules do they need to be? Sections, banner?

Im still fairly new to joomla so please be as descriptive as you can.

Thank you



Edit: Looking at the zip files, I see hotarchitecture_hotstart has alot more files than the regular hot architecture zip. Such as plugins and modules. Should I uninstall the template from joomla and then try installing the _hotstart via FTP for better results?

You can make advert1-4 modules any kind you like. Go in Module Manager > click New > Select module Type > Enter content in module, select Advert1 (or 2,3,4) module position and Save it.

To install HotStart, you should delete entire old site, or install in sub-directory. Please follow instructions you received in PDF.

Advert1 module that you see on demo's home page is mod_hot_newsflash (Hot Newsflash) module. You have it in package so you should install it first. Then it will be listed in Module Manager and you must configure its parameters to match demo.

I think it's better idea for you to use HotStart installation method.
