Upper case in title

In title everything is written using upper case [for example: MENU TITLE ]. What should I change to use both upper and lower case [ for example: Menu title ].

Hi

This font doesn;t have lowwercased version. Please replace the font in template configuration.

Teitbite, I like the font itself so I prefer not to replace it. It's just the font size in blog mode that makes this font useless.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

You can override the blog title size by adding below into override.css and enable CSS Override from template advanced features.

Change 30 to which ever font-size suits you.
Code: Select all
.article-meta.blog > h2 {
    font-size: 30px;
}

Thanks Norman but that didn't work. I did exactly what you said.

1. Opened templatesgk_twn2cssoverride.css.

2. Changed the file from

.article-meta.blog > h1 {
    font-size: 15px;
}


3. Save the override.css file.
4. Turned on CSS override in the template.
5. Refreshed browser but no change.
6. Tried a different font size but no effect.

Maybe I am missing something?

Sorry, it was H2 but when I was playing with it, I changed it to H1 to see if that would work. Apparently it didn't.

Yes this is the section I need font size changed. Thanks.

Retried the whole thing again but still no luck :-(

Norman, the changed code that I posted above - does that look alright or is there a mistake in it? I have already changed it to H1 but no change. I have also refreshed the browser, checked in another browser - still no change.

Your posted code seems fine. Its difficult making suggestions without seeing anything. So here is what we can do.
If you are using firefox , right click on an empty space anywhere on that page where you want to change the title and choose view page source. Which will open another page with html codes inside.

Going to give you an example from demo website which the blog layout is at
Code: Select all
http://demo.gavick.com/joomla16/jul2011/index.php/template/lorem-ipsum-ii/joomla-pages-iii/blog-layout


Assuming Sample Article name is "Al-Jazeera English Launches in New York"

So when html code window is open click on "CTRL + F " which will open search window in the bottom and search for " Al-Jazeera" without qoutes.

First two match result is from highlighter so we skip that and third match code is as below code.
Code: Select all
<div class="article-meta blog">
         <h2>
                     <a href="/joomla16/jul2011/index.php/2011-06-30-23-44-03/48-al-jazeera-english-launches-in-new-york">
            Al-Jazeera English Launches in New York</a>
               </h2>

So As you can see div class is "article-meta blog > h2" So can you check on your website and let us know.

Other alternatives are either to use a teamviewer application to connect to your pc and change it from there or you create a temporary online installation.

Or you can leave it to the end of your todo list and focus on other stuff in your website. Once you upload your website we can then check it again....

Sorry for the delay in response, Teitbite. I was busy making the site online so you could actually see what's going on.

The site is www.patnadaily.com.

Once live, I tried your suggestion once again and this time it worked. I changed the font size to 15 and followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. However, 15 appeared to be too small so I changed it to 20 but it was stuck on size 15. I tried 25 but still stuck on 20. So I ended up resetting it to 30 and turned off CSS override in the template until it can be resolved.

Any suggestion? Thanks again for your help. I have about 5-6 different issues but I will post them in separate threads but at least you can now take a look at it. If you need backend access, please let me know and I'll provide you privately.

As i ve suggested above changes does make the change in your website as well. So i truly going to Suggest same things.

url = http://www.patnadaily.com/index.php/ideabank2.html

override.css = http://www.patnadaily.com/templates/gk_ ... erride.css

Disable CSS Cache/Compression for now until you fixed this request.

Enable Override.css = Joomla Administration > Extension > Template Manager > gk_twn2 - Default > On the Right Under "Advanced Features" > CSS override = ON.

Edit override.css file and add below code1. if code1 dont work try code2

CODE1
Code: Select all
.article-meta.blog {
    font-size: 10px;
}

CODE2
Code: Select all
.article-meta.blog {
    font-size: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
}

See attached image which i tried on your own website. You ve said 15px is small as you can see from the code and image i ve used 10px...

Norman both of the solutions worked. Thank you so much.

I have a related problem that I have listed here:

134-joomla-17/92114-no-date-in-joomla-blog-mode.html#93065

For your solution to work, I had to rename /html/_com_content back to /html/com_content but by doing so, I lost the creation date in blog mode.

Thanks again for your help. Both you and Teitbite have been of tremendous help to me.
