Template Contest Entry - [68portal]

[mouloud]

- The pdf/print/mail button, and the date/author are always visible, even when it's set to hide in the article preference. There is a bug with joomla and the global preference, but in onther templates the article per article preference works.

I found the cause. In file html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php :

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->params->get('show_pdf_icon')) : ?>

Where in the default templates provided with rc3, like beez, there is :

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->item->params->get('show_pdf_icon')) : ?>

So I try to add "item->" before all "params->", and it works fine now.

Axel... very nice work indeed. I see a banner module listed but I was wondering where on the page/template it would appear. Do you have a view showing a banner?

Regards
Ed

Keep up the good work!!

[Triplicate]

Hi again axle... I was just wondering if the left side menu width could be narrowed down without breaking anything? It seems plenty wide for the info it contains and encroaches on the remaining screen realestate to the right.

Keep up the good work!

Regards
Ed

Nice work Axel!

I confirm the following issue reported by pictogram

I've some issue here :

1. the "You are here" seems not to respond for translation !?!?! Do the template language process working
2. The breadcrumb doesn't display normally, actually it displays the URL instead of a normal home:mylink:myothelink ! Is this a bug !?!!?

The breadcrumb works only for the 'home' page.
Maybe it's because my joomla root folder is in a subfolder of htdocs named 'j15'
So, the breadcrumb gives : "You are here http://vm-w2k-ori/j15/ News"

How do you access the template parameters?

[dArt85]

• 
  2 custom module chromes with 3 color variations
  module suffix: [-alt1] [-alt2])
  

  • added new modulestyle "modern" (suffixes: -alt1, -alt2, -alt3)
  • added 4 nice css boxes (classes: .greenbox, .darkgreenbox, .orangebox, .cyanbox)
  • added 10 icon templates (classes: .accept, .arrow, .download, .flag, .info, .link, .note, .question, .stop, .warning)

Well it is confusing. It looks OK, but how to acces or change those other styles. In most cases you could change everyting in tempaltes parametrs section. Some documentation needed.

Best thing about this template it do not have fixed widh.

[spook][68]

booom, my template is under the 5 finalists. great. 
Thank you all for your nice words and help!

Axel... very nice work indeed. I see a banner module listed but I was wondering where on the page/template it would appear. Do you have a view showing a banner?

Hey Ed, the Banner Module which I meant is the "Advertising" Module on the right side.
but you are right. i forgot the image banner module. it's on my todo list.

Hi again axle... I was just wondering if the left side menu width could be narrowed down without breaking anything? It seems plenty wide for the info it contains and encroaches on the remaining screen realestate to the right.

Hey Ed again.
My Template is very very very flexible. You can do what you want with it, but a little css knowledge is an requirement for changing things like that. You have to take a look in the /templates/68portal/css/layout.css stylesheet. div#left-sidebar  and div#main are your friends (play with the width/margin attributes).

The breadcrumb works only for the 'home' page.
Maybe it's because my joomla root folder is in a subfolder of htdocs named 'j15'
So, the breadcrumb gives : "You are here http://vm-w2k-ori/j15/ News"

Hey George, the latest version of the template is made for Joomla RC3.
I think you have a other version. that's the problem
i've a lot of work atm but the next release is coming shortly......

How do you access the template parameters?

Hey seattleslew, what exactly do you mean?
You can find the Template Parameters in the Backend under "Extensions -> Template Manager -> 68portal"

Well it is confusing. It looks OK, but how to acces or change those other styles. In most cases you could change everyting in tempaltes parametrs section. Some documentation needed.

Hey dArt85, the only thing what you can change over the template parameters is the Modulestyle "modern" or "standard".
You can set the Module Suffixes in the Module Parameters. There is an field called "Module Suffix" or something like that.
the css classes are only prepared for use. There are some code examples at the Demo

Thanks and a happy new year to you all!
Axel

I really like the layout. It feels smooth and simple.

However, I can't stand the colors. haha

[seattleslew]

When I go to edit the template parameters I get the error message:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in [i]mysite[/i]/libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 145

Any ideas? I'm using RC3

Yes... this is a great template. It's the one I'll vote for when that time comes.

I especially like to fact that it's not a fixed width. The colors are very pleasing as they are but if you don't like them it's really easy to change them to whatever you like with a little css and small images.

I know... this is maybe a dumb request...
but i saw your great looking template on www-joomla-aktuell.de  :-*

And the site is temporarily downgraded from 1.5rc to 1.0x
So, the admin did a "quick" conversion... 

Is it possible to get an "official" J!1.0x Version of your template ?

PLEASE!
TIA!

there will be no official version for 1.0.x.

I love the template! did this issue get fixed?  I can't seem to get them turned off.  Would it matter if I'm running with Legacy turned on?

Thanks

[BuBa]

Nice template, really smooth-one 

I have installed the template, I have only one question, when someone can guide me how to do this.

Please can someone tell me how I can change the logo to the right-site and the newsflash to the left site

Regards,
Frankie

I've harnessed this template for a church that has asked me to manage their site.  I'm having a real issue with submitting articles from the front end.  I'll go through the process as either an author, editor, publisher and super-admin from the front to create a new article and then click the Save.  The action always gives 403 "you don't have permission..."

I thought it was the host, yahoo, but it isn't.  I defaulted another template and tried posting a new article without any trouble, so it must be with the template. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

[spencer.jarod]

I created a "newsfash" module to display some advertisements I created as articles. The "Read More" link will not hide when article titles are set to "Linkable".  I'm using the latest nightly (as of Jan 19). It works on the MilkyWay template but not on the beez template or this one.

Ref: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,240577.0.html

BTW: Love the template...

[joshua.lyon]

I'm excited to see this template J1.5 stable compatible. The template has a great snazzy, but simple appeal.  Great job!

Does someone know a workaround?

Hey, I have the same problem here when submitting articles from the front end. Doesn't happen with other styles.
I really like this template and hope that someone will be able to find a fix for that.
Thank's to the author.

[Thorsson]

Spook, stable version ready?

[Doc Zimut]

Why in the menu "YOU ARE HERE" the URL "You are here http://127.0.0.1/Joomla_151/ Joomla! Overview" appears

[mmazb3]
