NSP GK5 Custom position problem

I cant find any way to add a custom position to NSP GK5 in joomla 3.0. Enter has no effect here

Hi

What do You mean by "custom position" ?

I'm having the same problem. When clicking the position dropdown in the module settings, there's no way to input a custom position name, as used in, for example, the GK5 Grid.

To prove I wasn't going mad, it works perfectly if I try and use NSP GK4.

All in Joomla 3.x

Hi

I think I understand now what You have in mind, but I've checked it and it works for me. Anyway You can always add such custom position to templateDetails.xml so it will be visible in the dropdown list.

I see the same issue - Position field doesn't accept input of custom position name
(Joomla 3.1.5 - Isis admin template - Firefox 24.0)

(News Show Pro GK5 ver 1.3.1)

There is no option to add a custom position in the module back end in Firefox, Chrome, IE9 or IE10, tested with 3 different templates.

NSP GK4 is fine

Something is definitely broken, somewhere.

Directly editing templateDetails.xml isn't really the answer. It works, but it still isn't the answer.

Same here. No way of putting in custom position without doing 'templateDetails.xml' option. Which is a little labourious.

Hi

Problem is reported to programmers please use the 'templateDetails.xml' editing till this will be fixed.

Hi

I got an answer from programmers:

There is 2 types of select boxes in admin panel. Currently normal select box is visible and chosen js select box is hidden with a css.
To use custom position in select box we need to display select box plugins ( chozen.js ) box, however if I remember correctly this has caused other errors or problems in previous versions where selection from chozen plugin in NSP module was not updating in original select box so i guess developers opted to hide the select box.

See file: modules/mod_news_pro_gk5/admin/style.css
Line: 861 to 863

select.chzn-done + div {
display: none!important;
}

Alternative fix would be perhaps use chozen in details page standard joomla fields and use normal select box in NSP settings.

#details select { display: none!important;}
#options select.chzn-done + div {
display: none!important;
}

That has worked for NSP GK5, and doesn't appear to have caused other issues elsewhere.

Thanks for the fix.

Hi

All thanks to NormanUK who come up with this fix

For Joomla! 3.2 please use this code

Code: Select all

select.chzn-done + div,
select#jform_position {
   display: none!important;
}
#jform_position_chzn {
   display: block!important;
}
