Hi,

I purchased your Horizon template and I have a couple of questions.

Firstly I am relativly new to Joomla but I am an experienced programmer.

OK on the template demo there is a nice accordion module. This however is not in the template. I have no option to use this module. Am I missing something. I expect that I should be able to add a new module of this type, am i missing the trick?

Also the formatting for the unordered lists does not seem to work. I have tried all options and the little icons just do not show.

You can see this on my domain: cinchcam.com on the resellers page, I have put an example.

I have created some pages using the single article option. I expected that the content within these articles would have the same formatting as the modules however this does not work. Formatting is only picked up when this info is in a module. I can design the site this way however is it not better practice to use articles as I can include more metadata within the site to make finding it easier. I see only an option at the menu level to select a template and this is set correctly.

You can see this at my domain: cinchcam.com. The home pages content is an article.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Jerry

Hi Jerry

For the accordion module we used LoadOfCoders Accordion module which is available free to download from http://www.landofcoder.com/download/free-extensions/viewcategory/7-lof-accordion-module.html

To ensure that typography list items work in module positions try replacing the following in your templates template.css (../templates/j51_horizon/css/template.css - line874)..


[code type=css]ul.tick li {
background: url("../images/typo/tick.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
ul.plus li {
background: url("../images/typo/plus.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
ul.star li {
background: url("../images/typo/star.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
[/code]

with...


[code type=css]ul.tick li {
background: url("../images/typo/tick.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent !important;
}
ul.plus li {
background: url("../images/typo/plus.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent !important;
}
ul.star li {
background: url("../images/typo/star.png";) no-repeat scroll left center transparent !important;
}
[/code]

Regarding your article query are you referring to the list items? Would you like these to be displayed as they are in the module positions (menu list)?

Hi Ciaran,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Accordion:
I downloaded the LOF accordion module last night but could not get it to work. I will try again.

Your fix worked for the unordered lists. Thanks

Regarding the articles.
My expectation was that if I create a meun item and point it to a single artilce, and this menu item is using your template, then the content in the component area of the article should have the same format of the content of the component area of the template. Instead all the text is in black, including when you add header formatting, and also if I add list items they do not pick up the formatting.

Am I missing the point?

Best Regards, Jerry

Hi Ciaran,

Correction the article items now are pickiung up the list formatting of the ticks stars etc. It is just the heading text appearence and paragraph formatting are different. For example Heading 2 format in the template is blue and when I use an article it is black.

Is this formatting intentionally different in the template?

THanks

Hi Ciaran,

Installed the LOF Accortion module again and same result. Here is how I used it:
Creted an article category
Created 2 articles with some text and applied the category.
Created a module with the LOF component.
On the content tab, I selected category and selected my category.
Placed the module in the sidebar of on of my pages.

When I then load the page I get a white screen nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jerry

Would you have a URL to an example of the <h2> tag which you wish changed to blue?

Regarding the LOF Accordion may I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will set up your accordion module for you. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

Hi,

Regarding the formatting I think you are missing the point. If you look at your template typography your heading2 is in blue. But when I use h2 in my article it dose not show in blue.

Just trying to confirm if it is the template syling that is causing your h2 heading to be black or inline styling added by your editor. I suspect the latter hence why I ask for a URL to an example.

Hi Ciaran,

I appoligise but I did say I was new to Joomla. Seems that if you use the formatting dropdowns on the editor it puts formatting into the html code which then overrides your template. Seems obvious now that I understand.

So the only issue I have is setting up the accordion module. Do you have any documentation on this? Or maybe a step by step, not too detailed just the process. Rather than getting you to spend time on the site as I am still working on it. Otherwise I will get you to do this for me when I have most of the content up.

Again,
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Jerry

Sorry to say we have no detailed install guide for the Accordion module. To try and explain, the module will read the articles from a category of your choice. We'd suggest creating a category something 'Accordion Module'. You can then set the module to read the articles from this category within the 'Categories Selection' field of the accordion modules parameters. Any articles then set to this category will appear within your accordion module.

Thank you Jerry

I have re-installed your accordion module and it now appears to be working without issue.
