Hello,

I managed to get the basics of the template to work but I have many more questions and hope someone can help:

1) Article Layout
How can I get this article:
https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/photo/ ... le-article

Here is how mine looks:
http://tobefollowed.com/services/3-who-we-are

Where/how do I set these Page suffixes?

no-full-width - disables the full width mode for a specific page (useful in example for a standard portfolio view for a category).
full-width - enables the full width mode for a specific page (if the specific page doesn’t support the full-width layout by default).
narrow-width - creates a more narrow version of the page

Where do I set "item category uses portfolio or portfolio-grid layout" (https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/photo/ ... e-features)


2) Blog Category Layout:
Is this "Blog Category" Layout: https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/photo/ ... egory-page
I read this
https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/photo/ ... e-features

So I set 2 columns in the layout because I don't use K2 but as you can see it doesn't work.

How do I fix this?

3) sufix "light" isn't working
https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/photo/ ... e-features
It looks like the suffix Light is used for the top of this page but where do I set this? I tried using "light" "LIGHT" in the header position but it doesn't work.

4) I want my header on all pages but the home page: http://tobefollowed.com/services/3-who-we-are
What rule do I need:

Why doesn't my menu start all the way left like in the demo? Where can I change these settings?

Hi

1. I honestly do not know what layout or template is it. Doesn't look like any of our codes. Send me an access to joomla panel so I'll check.

2. The fact that You do not use K2 is the problem here. Most of theis layouts are for K2. Like the 2 column one is a template for K2 called "portfolio-grid" so there is no other way to use it without K2.

3. There is no "light" as a suffix for pages, but for modules. Those are 2 different things. Please check this articles:

https://www.gavick.com/documentation/un ... omla-pages
https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... ass-suffix

4. I'm afraid I do not know where this panel from screen is. Our template is using one logo which can be changed for a certain pages using page class suffix.

5. You can set different width in template settings in layout section.

2) Shouldn't this work for blog layout regardless of K2? I use the 2 column layout in regular joomla all the time.

5) You can set different width in template settings in layout section.
Sorry to ask but where exactly to I set the location of the menu?

Hi

1. Have You made any changes to template's code. I see that couple of css files are not being loaded. Please send me an access to ftp, so I'll check this parts of the code instead of just overwritting Your template :)

2. K2 has some specific features, which are very useful while making this layout. This is why it was used here and not regular joomla content. But wait for me to fix point 1, this may be related.

5. I can see you've figured this out. Menu is showing fine now.

Hi

1&2 This is a very odd issue. There is a condition:

Code: Select all
if(!file_exists(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php')) {
   $this->API->addCSS($this->API->URLtemplate() . '/css/k2.css');
}


and either this file is present script is not recognising it. So I've removed he condition and not /layout/blocks/head.php is using this

Code: Select all
$this->API->addCSS($this->API->URLtemplate() . '/css/k2.css');


layout looks ok now except the missing images in articles.

3. I think I do not understand. Menu is showing on the left edge of the screen so it's good right ?

Yes! It looks way better. Thanks so much.

Now the problem of the missing body image still exists.

3) Yes, the menu is good and it seems that you also have fixed the blog category layout with columns. Perfect. It works: http://tobefollowed.com/services

Thanks again!

Hi

I'm afraid I do not know what You mean. Is it about images in category view ? I think it's because there is no images in articles to use.
