It’s time for the next version of our framework – Meet Gavern v.1.3. The newest version contains mostly new options such as: login pop-up, sidebar options override, variable-based font sizes, and corrections submitted by our users on our official GitHub repository.
The most important change at the template administrator level is Sidebar override, a new option that allows personalization the sidebar’s position, depending on the option (e.g. com_k2) or menu item ID – ItemID (e.g. 101). The new sidebar’s options allow not only changing its width but also its position (left, right). Due to the new functionality, the sidebar’s appearance in Layout Manager window has changed: a selection of the Override option shows a list of rules created; there is an option to add new rules or remove the existing ones.
Another change is the addition of a login pop-up, known from our commercial templates. The login pop-up uses native components of Boostrap and the username-less login option.
In order to simplify the font modification in a template, we have decided to base all the font sizes on two variables:
@baseBodyFontSize: 13px; @baseHeadersFontSize: 20px;
The first one, @baseBodyFontSize, specifies the base size of the default fonts for the template. Modifying this value in the less/variables.less file will convert all font sizes except for headers. The base size of headers is defined by the @baseHeadersFontSize variable, which is responsible for H1,H2,H3,H4,H5 items and other defining headers in a template, as well as supported components.
The very latest version of Meet Gavern is available on the GitHub repository or may also be found in our download section. Due to many changes in template and framework we advise to create a backup before performing your update and to overwrite all files via FTP connection.
