Marley Foundation works with families who have lost their loved ones to police violence. Many of our families say that this is a club no one wants to be a part of. These are a few of our stories...

Site Shapers


So what are Site Shapers? They are quick installs of Joomla combined with all the modules, content, etc used on our demo, excluding stock photography. Within a few minutes you can have your site up, running and looking just like our demo. No more importing SQL dumps and installing modules. Just head on over to the download section of this template and grab a Site Shaper. Simply install the Site Shaper like any other Joomla installation, it's that easy!

Note - This site is intended to imitate a live and published website and does not make any claim of any kind to the validity of non-Shape5 content, articles, images or posts published to this site.

Be sure to visit our Knowledgebase for in depth video tutorial installation guide.


How to setup a Site Shaper

  • 01Login to your cpanel or your server admin panel.
  • 02Locate the area where your databases are (usually labeled Mysql Databases)
  • 03Create a new database
  • 04Next create a new database user and assign it to this newly created database in the previous step
  • 05You will then need to extract the site shaper to either a folder on your server or the root directory such as WWW. NOTE: if you already have a website in the root of your WWW folder, we suggest creating a new folder and extract the site shaper there. If your cpanel does not have an extract option or you cannot find it, you may also extract the contents of your site shaper in to a folder on your desktop and upload all the files via an ftp client to your server.
  • 06Next, navigate to the url where you extracted the site shaper via your web browser.
  • 07Continue through each screen until you reach the below screenshot:

  • 08At the above screen be sure to enter localhost as shown, continue to fill in the following text fields with your newly created database and username information
  • 09Follow through the rest of the site shaper setup and click the install sample data at the last screen and the installation is complete! (be sure to rename/remove the installation directory after finishing the install)

Template Specific Options

This template is built on the very powerful S5 Vertex Framework, which comes packed with amazing features! Learn More About Vertex...

Every template built on Vertex also comes with its own unique template specific options applicable to that particular template such as highlight colors, social icons, and much more. These features are in addition to the standard functions of Vertex, and are still controlled through the very user friendly interface of Vertex. This page will document the features specific to this template.

Theme Specific Configuration Interface of Vertex

Below is a screenshot that shows all the template specific features available in the user friendly Vertex admin:




Custom Highlight Colors

Stylize your site with any color you want. Set your own custom color scheme with the built in highlight color. This color control menu items, titles, buttons, hover over effects, backgrounds, and more. You can set this color to any color that you want. Below is an example so you can see how this works. In addition to these color options, Vertex itself is loaded with background color and images options under the Main / Layout page in the template configuration.




Custom Highlight Font

Choose a custom highlight font powered by Google fonts. This font is used mostly on titles, buttons, labels and more. This is used in conjunction with the default site font which is controlled under the Main / Styling tab in the Vertex template configuration, and controls many other elements as well.




Uppercase Letters

Choose to enable or disable uppercase letters on most menu items, buttons, titles and more.





Hide Menu Arrows

With this option you can disable the menu item sub menu arrows on first level parent items.


Did you ever need to create a page where this is no article present or no component to be shown, and only load modules? This template makes it all possible! From the template configuration page you can hide the main content area on any page on the site.

Below is a screenshot of this function from the configuration page, found under the Main / Layout tab under the field "Hide Component Output?" in the middle of the screen:

Statistics Don't Lie

 

What You Need To Know About the Danger of Policing in America

FBI reported 295 officer fatalities in 2021. For the same period, Officer Down reported 451, but included 284 COVID deaths, 44 from 9/11 related illness, and more that just don't make sense to include. 

No. Not compared to being a logger (870%), a fisherman or even a crossing guard. Much of the perceived danger is inflated as part of the American narrative. 

Well, using FBI's 2020 statistics, and 2020 data from FatalEncounters.org, 295 officers and 2084 citizens were killed. That means that .8 officers died by any means, and 5.7 people were killed by police. 

In summary, you are 7 times more likely to die at the hands of the police, than an officer is to die for any reason.

“My son was autistic and in mental health crisis after his son was stillborn. SWAT shot him from 30 yards away, from the turrets of a Bearcat, through a closed kitchen door. I was there with my crisis response team trying to get to him.

“Timmy was shot because they said he was armed and threatening.
But the knife they said he had was in another room.”
Sabrina Courtroul
“They said Sarah shot herself in the mouth with a Judge Revolver, while handcuffed behind her back.
Witnesses say she was shot execution style by the officer.”

“What's wrong with you guys?”
