You don't understand.
I may not set good enough.

When somebody will  install this template in the future it will automatically installed and the IOS Noobslide Module with the parameters that i like to pass.

If you wish to use Noobslide in your template you can embed the module functionality in your template and control it via template parameters. This way Noobslide will be integrated into the template and not as a separate module. This is the proper way to do it. Of course this requires your template to have an advanced functionality (like philoxenia and IOS Clean template) and to modify the nooslide module. You can see templates Philoxenia and IOS Clean as examples on advanced template integration.

Ok. I understand.
I think that it's a good idea to start "insert" modules to templates for Elxis CMS.
What's your opinion Giannis ?

My opinion is that a template should be as simple as possible with limited php code as we dont want people to be rocket scientists in order to be able to built their sites.

I have developed 2 advanced templates for special purposes and as sample on what you can do with templates if you wish. Template parameters is a great tool for the template developers.

For the upcoming elxis new generation we are focusing on functionality based on "hooks" and/or "dependences". But it is too early now to discuss or announce anything regarding this. Our main scope is to be extremely easy to change anything in elxis, templates included.

I understand what you mean.!
Template parameters is one step forward that it offer to us. ( Although i will also prefer to have and "apply" button on administration area too)  ;D

Simply i try to "married" the flash module and template in one.!
I think that the 2 of those give one point plus to the appearance of a site.
