Once you finish this installation method, you should get exactly the same copy of this Demo site on your server. Let's start!

1. Unzip file "hot_destinationsXX_hotstart.zip" from the archive you downloaded after purchase. Unzip this archive to your computer.
2. Using FTP software (such as FileZilla) upload all files and folders to your hosting space. Make sure that the folder, where you uploaded files, is writable by the server (chmod 755).
3. In browser, open address http://www.your_site_address.com/joomla/index.php (change "your_site_address.com" with your site address, change "joomla" with folder name where you uploaded files, if you uploaded files to the root folder, you don't need this).
4. Select your language and click Next.
5. The installer will check your server to find out if it's compatible with Joomla. If you see any parts marked red, please contact your hosting provider to resolve the problem. If all items are green, you can click Next.
6. You can read Joomla License and click Next.
7. You should enter MySQL database connection parameters now. Please enter Host Name (usually "localhost"), username, password, and database name and click Next. If you get an error message, please check database parameters. If you don't know the correct parameters, please contact your hosting provider.
8. On the FTP Configuration page, you can enter the parameters of your FTP server. This is not necessary and can be entered later if needed. So, just click Next.
9. On the Main Configuration screen you should enter Site Name, e-mail address, administrator's username, and password (twice). Click Install Sample Data button. (Otherwise, demo content won't be imported). Once you get the "Sample data installed successfully" message, you may click Next.
10. As the Finish screen says, please remove the "installation" folder from your server (use FTP software).

Hot Swipe Carousel rotates slides that may contain any HTML content (images, text, etc.).

It allows users to change slides by dragging them on the screen to the left or to the right. You probably already know that the number of users of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices with touch screens is growing daily. As a result, we may expect more and more people who are accessing our web sites equipped with touch screens rather than mouses and keyboards.

This module allows you to create up to 20 slides. It's possible to use multiple instances of this module on the same page. Each slide can contain an optional heading and any HTML content. You can enable and disable navigational elements, such as left/right arrows and dots.

Finally, as you probably assumed, this module is 100% responsive. It will change its width according to the available screen space.

All buyers of this template will get the Hot Swipe Carousel module FREE (value $19). You don't need to purchase it separately. It's included in the template package.
