Heavy problems without using K2 in Blog

Hello!

I don't want to use K2 so i disabled all K2 Components. I have imported some blog posts from www.fotojell.de/blog. Now it looks like this:

http://v3.fotojell.de/index.php/blog/ein-besuch-bei

- in the category view title images are repeated 3 times horizontally (at HD screen solution).
- in articles where is a huge space above the text
- in articles the social buttons are arranged vertically

If i enable "System - K2" it looks a little bit better. Articles now look fine, but in category view now is a huge gavick sign over every article pic.

At all i need the sidebar, but the sidebar don't appear anyway!

How can i rid off this big white-blue gavick sign?

At the bottom i put the Gavick News Module. This is looking quite good. Perhaps this is a solution but the problems with the article view still exist even with this module.

Do you have a solution? In best case without any installed K2 component?

Thank you very much!

Hi

This template is very specific it was prepared to use the view You can see on our demo. So You need to use 2/3 columns to have a similar effect in category options. Gavick avatar is showing becuase of an author gravatar of the article. Should change to Yours if You will be creating new articles and to replacing existing ones.

Try load k2.css file from template. Since views were prepared to be similar with K2 and joomla regular articles this file was prepared to handle both styles.

Sidebar is disabled in single article layout to meet designer idea. Please send me an access to ftp so I'll try to unlock it.

Thank you! I sent a private message.

Hi

I cannot find the site anymore. There is another template there. Anyway I've removed the limitation for sidebar. It still may need some css adjustment so tell me the url to page with example of using sidebar.

The site is still existing and have the photo template:

http://v3.fotojell.de/index.php/blog/ein-besuch-bei

Please note the "v3" in the beginning of the url.

Hello!

Did you find something thats help me? Without k2 the template still looks horrible. I attached two images.

As you see, blog images are repeated over the whole width of the screen.

Articles begins with a big empty space and the socila buttons are arranged horizontally.

I need a working template because i must publish my website soon

HI

I've added this K2.css file in /layout/head.php

Code: Select all

$this->API->addCSS($this->API->URLtemplate() . '/css/k2.css');


as I said style was made this way that override for regular joomla article layouts were made with a structure and class names as in K2, so same file works for both solutions.

If You want to remove author, You should be able to make it in category settings, but it's easier to use css to hide it:

Code: Select all

.blog-grid .itemInfo {
    display: none;
}
