Template Issues

I have a few questions about the Fest template.

For one, I am very capable and have a good understanding of how styling works but for some reason I cannot find the CSS for the background of the dropdown menu. I have looked everywhere and firebug isnt showing me the correct thing.

Second, I would like to be able to publish a custom module in the register position where the built-in "Register Now" button was before. Can anyone help me get this done? Publishing anything to the register position does not work.

Hi

First i strongly recommend that you place all your css customization on ../css/override.css file.
This way it will be easier for you on future template updates that changes css files.
This feature must be enable on template parameters > advanced settings.

GK Menu css classes are added on ../css/menu/menu.css
Colors and backgrounds are place on each style1.css, style2.css and style3.css files.

I don't quite understand.
You want to place an custom module on register link position or display a modal box with module position by triggering the Register button ?

i want to be able to just publish any module in that position. to the right of the logo. nothing publishes.

i found the menu line. thanks i dont know how i missed that

also, do you know how i can get the background (dark gray) from appearing in the WYSIWYG editor in the backend? I can hardly see what i am typing because it's all black

You are probably using JCE Editor.
If so, please go to JCE Global Configurations > Editor Global Configurations > Formatting & Display > Editor Styles
Select "Default"

About the module position, this is considerate customization but i will provide a solution.
I'll get back to you soon.

Thanks i appreciate it! I was hoping it was as easy as just publishing to that position.

In the meantime, do you know how i can change the text of "Register Now"

On template language file: ../language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_gk_fest.ini

Code: Select all

TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_NOW="Register now"

BTW i found a bug on "Register" link feature and the following fix will be release on next update.
Meanwhile if you want to fix it already, follow this instructions:

Problem:
Register link URL have wrong code on templateDetails.xml and also register description have a same error.

Solution:
Open templateDetails.xml file and find this fragment:

Code: Select all

<field name="register_link_url" type="list" class="text" default="#" label="TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_URL" description="TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_URL_DESC" />


replace with:

Code: Select all

<field name="register_link_url" type="text" default="#" label="TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_URL" description="TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_URL_DESC" />


Next open ../language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_gk_fest.ini file and find:

Code: Select all

TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_DESC_URL="You can specify the URL displayed in the register link"


replace with:

Code: Select all

TPL_GK_LANG_REGISTER_LINK_URL_DESC="You can specify the URL displayed in the register link"
