One last question on this template... If you can go to http://www.jamalongtracks.com/CountryMusicV1
take a look at the right - where it says Discount Packages... that is a GK4 News Pro using Redshop categories as the source... question... how can I move the Add to Cart and pricing to the right of the thumbnail image, just underneath the text... I tried various settings... look for the coding and cant make it happen.

Hi,

Try this solution please:

- Open file: /modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/interface/css/style.css

- Find this code at line 49:
Code: Select all
.nspArt .fnone { clear:both; width:100%; float:none; }


Change to:
Code: Select all
.nspArt .fnone {   
    margin-left: 80px;
    margin-top: 26px;
    position: absolute;
 }

Then let me know if it helps. Thanks!

Perfect... thanks a bunch... and thanks for the quick reply... only other question I have on the design is if you notice... when you click on the joomla content pages via the main menu link... ie. facts, about us... the main menu link stays red for that link once you reach the page... however, the styles, lessons and discount pages which are external links to Redshop categories hover at red but when you click it... it goes back to white... I even tried it directly linking to redshop categories... I looked all through the CSS and cant figure it out. any ideas?

Try it again... the login works - I just logged in myself using it... I miss typed a letter on the username... its fixed now.

The Questions...
1. The main one or original one is below... its about the menu. Where the joomla content main menu links color will change when you land on that page... but the Redshop category links wont... not to rehash it again as its below in the other post.


Other questions:
2. The site runs very slow... I tried to use cache but it caches the shopping cart so when someone tries to empty their cart or change the quantity - it doesnt work... when I compress the CSS and other CSS thing in the template advanced settings - the CSS messes up on the site... so, do you know a great way to speed up the site? How do I get it so I can use the advanced settings in the template settings that wont mess up the site?

3. Is there a way when someone buys a product from my Redshop to automatically put them as a user on the AcyMailer in the Boutique template?

4. The PayPal payment option not coming up for some reason during checkout.. I have the paypal plugin installed on redshop and activated... have the settings setup.

5. Anyway to have redshop product clouds like how the demo has k2 tags...

Please keep log or list of anything you change... so in case something goes wrong... the site completely works now except its on the slow side, the PayPal thing and the menu item. Please dont reinstall or install on to of the Redshop installation. I am sure you know all of this as you seem on the ball but another guy did a bunch of things that I gave access too... site broke and he is still MIA. Guy wasnt with Gavick by the way but still... people are people.

Since you use Menu Item Type as "External" so your Joomla site can't track the trail of those menu items and understands that they are external links so Home menu item is activated. If you want this works, please change it to internal link type, there is no other ways!

I see the site is loading fast enough for me at my side http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/652/5449605050.png

I have tested with my installation, the CSS compression feature works properly, the problem I saw with your site was that it couldn't find the css file so I guest the css file couldn't be created, please check if folder "/cache/gk" is rewritable (Chmod 777).

Go to site if you could... I tried what you said and it didnt work either... I need the link to go to a specific category on Redshop so I setup a menu on main menu with menu link that is the Standard Category Detail Layout... you can see it - I set one up called Test Menu Color... the menu color thing still doesnt work.

If you could - do a test menu link...

If it cant be done... what is quick css to make it just turn white to red and then when it get to the page it goes back to white... ie. like how the redshop categories do now... so I guess... make the joomla pages do like the redshop do... is it take out the a:focus css? and make it so home doesnt do it either.

One other followup on the menu... I edited the CSS so it doesnt stay red on any of the pages now... so its consistent... before that, I tried making the redshop categories regular redshop links (not external) and it still didnt do that so I guess there is more to the story... I was wondering... is there a way for the redshop pages... on each of the categories... I could put some CSS on that particular page so it forces the menu for that page to turn red? How come the page cant just figure it its the focus or active page and make it red... like the joomla content pages did.

Also - 2 other template/redshop issues...
Any reason why the checkout and cart pages are all messed up? No word from Redshop but I think the template part is actually you guys...

Lastly, the paypal payment option doesnt show up either for some reason when checking out, although I have the latest redshop paypal plugin installed and properly setup... its not coming up...

I didnt edit any of the cart or checkout templates...

Read the other posts below if you could - they go with this one... another thought... what do you think about adding a CSS class to the menu link... under Link Type Options - Link CSS Style or under Manu Params - additional class and force the focus to be red?
