Hi. I am missing many of the buttons in the modules and other places at back end. Where the buttons are supposed to be it is just text. I have installed the quick start pack and it should be working fine, but it is not. I have attached a screen shot of which buttons I am talking about. Please help me solve this issue asap. Thanks.

Hi

Please cehck the access You've send me it's not working. I'm gonna quote Your PM here so I'll not forget to look into it when You send me correct access.

Hi. The button problem I realised was due to the quick start pack had a messed up back end template. I deleted the back end template files and downloaded it from the original place and that worked.

But, there are many more problems that are showing up.

1. The module showing at the position ''tab2'' is not working correctly. When I add an item to the K2 categories it is getting it's data from, it does not show.

2. When I try to add a new k2 category and have the module showing on ''tab2'' to get data from only this category, the whole website collapses and does not work.

3. The module showing on position ''tab1'' is messing up the titles when I have long titles. In stead of making two lines for the title, the title is overwriting the next title below it.

4. I turned on the search button on made it show on the right side, but it messes up. It is showing below the search field. I also tried to expand the search field because I want to have a big field going almost all the way to the logo, but it did not expand. I have turned off the login function because I don't need it.

Thank you for helping.


Template as a package and the one in quickstart are exactly the same. The single package is extracted from quickstart, so it's not possible it has different files. That's why I suspect the problem was a broken file during download or upload. It happens and a solution is to re-install the extension/template.

Hi

I can see all the buttons. I think problem is with Your browser's cache. Probably an old css files are used from before an update. Please try clear browser's cache. this should help :)

I am not sure what you are saying. This is the problems as you qouted from my mail to you:

Hi

So sorry, this is very confusing when part of the conversation is in PM and rest on the forum, I forgot about the quoted part becuase of that.

1. I think it's becuase of an incosistency in server and joomla time. Please use offset option in NSP module to make it show elements faster or with a delay.

2. Can You please tell me which category You have in mind ? As far as I know such issue is happening if there are categores/articles which do not exists but still are tried to be shown.

3. Some of Your titles needs 3 lines to be seen entirely, so the solution to show 3 lines will move short title at the very top, which doesn;t look nice, anyway if You want to try add ths code to css:

Code: Select all
.gkIsWrapper-gk_game_magazine .gkIsListItem {
    line-height: 17px;
}


I would recomment to cut the title if it goes over the one line with this code:

Code: Select all
.gkIsWrapper-gk_game_magazine .gkIsListItem {
    overflow: hidden;
}


4. Please add this code to css to move search button to right:

Code: Select all
#gkSearch #mod-search-searchword {
    float: left;
}

The server time is Moscov and joomla time is Oslo (where I live). That is 3h difference. I tried making +3 and -3 to see if it works, but it didn't. I have sent an email to my host. Maybe he can change the server time to Oslo, If not I hope you can assist in solving the issue.

2. Can You please tell me which category You have in mind ? As far as I know such issue is happening if there are categores/articles which do not exists but still are tried to be shown.
Thank you, this was the problem I guess.

3. Some of Your titles needs 3 lines to be seen entirely, so the solution to show 3 lines will move short title at the very top, which doesn;t look nice, anyway if You want to try add ths code to css:
Which css file and where is it located?

4. Please add this code to css to move search button to right:
Which css file and where is it located? And will this only move the button to the right side of the search box, or will it expand the search field as well? I would like to expand the search field a lot.

Thank you for helping. :)

Hi

1. Try with +/- 12 as well, but more importans it if this articles are visible over time at all. It may be a different problem entirely.
2. Great :)
3 & 4. All modifications should be added to override.css file but remember that override needs to be enabled in order to use this file at all.

This did not work. I can see the problem. When I make a new k2 article, the created and publishing time is 25min later than reality. Do you know how to fix it? The first solution you suggested does not change this time. I can of course manually change this time everytime I create a new article, but it would be much better if the problem could be solved.

3 & 4. All modifications should be added to override.css file but remember that override needs to be enabled in order to use this file at all.

Great. I tried the different codes for the title problem, but I could not get the desired result. When the titles are on three lines it is difficult to distinguish between two titles, and one line is too little. Is it possible to make it show two lines and always have the titles in the middle of the box for the titles. If I for example have one title with only one line it should display in the middle, and the same if I have longer titles. With the code you gave me all titles are displaying in the top of the title box, which looks weird when I have some 3line and some 2line and some 1line titles.

Regarding the search button, that problem is fixed, but I the option to make the search field longer in the search module still does not work. When I change the width from 30 to 60 I see no change. Please help. :)

Hi

1. If this time is wrong while creation than this problem is related with K2, so please try to look for the fix there. I really do not know how to solve it.

3. Unfortunately there is no option to center text verticaly in css/html. Maybe if You would replace the code to table than vertical-align: middle would work, but such modification would require some work and I'm affraid it's not covered in our support. If You want You can contact me in private and I'll rewrite this part of the module for You in my free time for a small fee.

4. Proper code to resize this to use this code:

Code: Select all
#mod_search_searchword {
width: 300px;
}
