Website for Comedian

Hey guys,
Love your templates. I have the opportunity to do a site for a Nationally touring comedian in the states... I'd like to build him something like this...

http://www.stevenwright.com/

Any templates in the works that are close?

**GK User** Sun Mar 15, 2015 10:43 am

Hi,
it's so simple.
1) The main element is paralax slideshow module.
2) template : storefront or musicstate

For me building that site will take few hours.

Thanks Oscar. Didn't know it was Parallax. Let me give it a shot. If I run into any problems can I hire ya?

**GK User** Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:10 pm

Yes sir!

**GK User** Mon Mar 16, 2015 6:43 pm

Oscar,
Do you know how to fix this error? I've installed music state on a new server... hosted by the comedian's friend.

http://104.238.116.200/~sbresnan/

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/sbresnan/public_html/components/com_k2/helpers/route.php on line 93

It's got to do with the multibytes extension in php. How do I tell the hosting guy that. He doesn't seem to understand.

Thanks!

mb_internal_encoding()

is error from server settings and K2 but not from template(!). Read more about it.

But more important question is - are you really need to use K2 component in Joomla 3.4 times when default articles have great features. Disable all K2 modules and uninstall software which you really don't need here.

**GK User** Mon Mar 16, 2015 7:14 pm

Ok, I uninstalled K2...

Now I get...

Table 'sbresnan_ritch.qzufo_k2_categories' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT c.id AS CID FROM qzufo_k2_categories AS c LEFT JOIN qzufo_k2_items AS content ON c.id = content.catid WHERE 1=1 AND ( c.id = 28) AND c.published = 1

When I try to save and close a module, I get...

Warning: require_once(/home/sbresnan/public_html/administrator/components/com_content/helpers/content.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sbresnan/public_html/administrator/components/com_modules/models/module.php on line 865

I have no idea why you don't have luck and you have so long list of errors.
But one thing I'm sure... you don't need Quickstart trash to build such a website.
Just install Joomla 3.4 again , then install this same template and add content, peace by peace.

**GK User** Mon Mar 16, 2015 8:16 pm

hahaha I know right!?!?! WTF? LOL

Thanks man, I'll try that.

**GK User** Tue Mar 17, 2015 12:02 am

Don't forget you are "Expert Boarder"
and removing trash/demo content from QS sometimes takes longer than adding a new one.

**GK User** Tue Mar 17, 2015 2:45 am

ok, I kinda got it started... http://104.238.116.200/~sbresnan/

Not sure if I have the right extension for the main part. I'd like the bricks to be the background... have the guy come in from the left... and then have text drop over it.

And basically, I just want that and then a black footer on the bottom.

When I turn off the article, I get a 404 error.

What would you charge me for some help?

**GK User** Tue Mar 17, 2015 3:00 am

And have it look good on mobile.

**GK User** Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:25 pm

All 404 errors are causes by users not by template - so it depends of your skills and if you have be focused on task

Thanks Oscar! I decided to run with MusicState ... it's coming together ok.

http://104.238.116.200/~sbresnan/

Question. I'm using the storefront css for the slide show. How can I get the 3 dots from the slide show to appear ABOVE the sectional navigation?

Thanks.

**GK User** Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:46 pm

Dots - start from that basic change:

Code: Select all: .gkIsWrapper-gk_storefront .gkIsPagination { bottom: 0; }

**GK User** Mon Mar 23, 2015 7:49 pm

thanks! Perfect.

**GK User** Mon Mar 23, 2015 9:46 pm

Is there a way to use the Testimonials section from Quark in the bottom2 position of music state? I've tried to create a module in that place and it doesn't seem to work.

I've got four quotes from some pretty famous comedians about the comedian I'm working with. I'd like to show their picture the quote in a big blockquote and their name.

I like how it works with Quark. Anyway to use the same mod here?
