Articles showing twice due to "readmore"?

Post by colinhaime » Sun Jan 20, 2019 6:08 pm

Sorry for confusing the board yesterday. I have never used Joomla before and was originally told that it was Version 2.5.3 but a helpful person on the Forum pointed out that the website is showing as 3.9.2... so admittedly I am confused as well. I thought I would repost to clear up some confusion as to the issue. I have asked a moderator to delete the other thread. My apologies again...

1) On the homepage there are links on menu left hand side. Parts are broken.

Some content opens just exactly how it should Specifically "Face amount." Opens with box and displays
article in modal pop up window.

Some content will not load because alias' cause the modal to not open. I have this figured out.

However other content shows 2x in modal popup window. "Premiums". This is what I am trying to solve.

2) In trying to solve the 2x issue I also checked if I opened the page directly rather than in a modal popup but the 2x issue still shows up http://www.irvineinsurance.ca/premiums.html

3) While trying options to get things to show properly I set up some new articles such as "Test Link" I did not do this as a modal popup. When you look at the page it looks just fine except I wanted to get rid of the navigation at the bottom.

4) If I change navigation to "hide" it shows the article twice like on this test article http://www.irvineinsurance.ca/colin-test.html. Weird thing is that it has a blue background and all words are in caps. If I look at the page source it shows as a "readmore" class item. But based on my reading the "Readmore" should not show in a Single Article layout?

5) I compared the options setup for both Face Amount (which works) and Premiums (which doesn't) and everything is the very same.

6) If all items behaved the same, I get that it would be a template/layout override. But the inconsistent problems are driving me nuts.

7) On some forum posts there is a suggestion that double articles could be related to contacts linked to admin... None are based on looking through Components/contacts....

If anyone has suggestions on where to look I would appreciate it.

Apologies again.

Colin

Let's not confuse ourselves any further; I've asked the forum moderators to lock your other topic. 8) It would help to know what we're talking about. The Forum Post Assistant will provide that information.

Point 3: Getting rid of the navigation links at the bottom:

Go to the menu item that you created for this.
Select the Options tab.
Change the setting for Show Navigation from Show to Hide.

I would like to see the effect of this change.

I still would like to see your Forum Post Assistant report for this website (see instructions for use posted in my previous reply).

@forum moderators: thanks for locking the OP's other topic.

I have changed navigation to Hide for the "Test Link" item. Now it shows 2 copies of article with no navigation and the second instance is blue background and all capitalized letters....

Re: Forum Post Assistant.

I do not have access to CPanel to upload the php to the root file. Trying to get it from local hosting company but no response yet.

I think the reason that the text is duplicated is because the article contains two lots of the text. Edit the article to remove the second part where the text is duplicated. OK?

Have you got the same content (in Articles) above and below a readmore ?

@Webdongle and I are saying the same thing. If you open the article for editing, the source will look something (not literally, of course) like this:

Code: Select all

.
.
.
The text of the article
.
.
.
<hr id="system-readmore" />
.
.
.
The text of the article
.
.

Easy to explain. The first part of the article appear in "normal" font. Everything after the <hr id="system-readmore" /> is supposed to appear in a blue background, with the font in white and the text centred and transformed into uppercase. This is because there is are two CSS rules in the site template files.

The first rule (starting at around line 487) is in the file ../templates/tx_zenith/css/template.css:

Code: Select all

.button,
.readon,
.readmore,
.btn-primary,
.btn {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 5px 14px;
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  letter-spacing: 1px;
  border-radius: 2px;
  transition: background-color 0.2s ease-out 0s;
  -moz-transition: background-color 0.2s ease-out 0s;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease-out 0s;
  -o-transition: background-color 0.2s ease-out 0s;
  border: none;
  text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
Therefore, any element with the class .readmore will be centred, text uppercase, in a block with rounded corners (and a few other things). The second rule (at around ) is in the file ../templates/tx_zenith/css/template.css

Code: Select all

::selection {
  background: #0096D2;
  color: #fff;
}
This rule changes the font colour to white and the background-colour to blue.

You should not edit these files; they are part of your client's site template.

The articles are not showing twice (as the subject of this topic implies); the content in one (or more) article has the same text duplicated twice.

I understand what you are saying however the articles are not doubled up.

I have attached screen shots of the Articles:Edit screen for one of the articles doing the weird thing.

This is the Premiums article.

Re: Articles showing twice due to "readmore"?

Post by colinhaime » Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:08 am

Making some headway with a bad work around.

I added the following to the template CSS based on locations that were mentioned in post above.

.readmore { display: none; }

Not a great workaround but it gets rid of the double posting. Havent checked rest of site to see if it creates problems elsewhere. There is still a challenge though and possibly based on same issue.

Regarding the options for articles. It is my understanding that using the setting of "Use Global" in the single article setting should result in the article having the Global article setting... is this right?

The articles are not adopting the global settings in this case but in fact controlled by the menu settings.

Why?

I think the problems stem from the template you're using. One way to find out is to set the template (even temporarily) to Protostar. If it's not the template, itself, it could be an extension used by the template. I noticed a couple of other issues—unrelated to this problem—that would be worthwhile attending to at some stage.

Try with Protostar; see if the issue can be reproduced.

Your Showplus extension is outdated. One of several issues you might attend to. Update with newer release.

I hope you didn't replace the CSS in the original files—against my advice. If you want to override CSS rules, you should create a separate file for customised changes. Never change original software, OK?
