Hi,

I've already installed joomla 3.5 and the standard news II template.

Wow, but Joomla 3.5 will be realize in march 2014

1.Is there any possibility to install quickstart package after without reinstalling everything or I must remove joomla and install on the host the quickstart first of all?

No, please read those tips: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/cat ... a-package/

2. Must I use k2 component to create web similar to template news II?

It will be possible to get similar page without using K2 component, because all our modules can use standard articles as a source of data.

Thank you very much! So, in case I install quick start, than it is not necessary to install the basic template? The quick start is basic template+modules and settings?

So, in case I install quick start, than it is not necessary to install the basic template?

Yes, exactly.

The quick start is basic template+modules and settings?

Yes, exactly.

If you need more help please write here or use PM - we still need more inspirations for our WIKI. We want to help you as much we can. Maybe you need movies or ???

Thank you very much. It would be great to get a movie about this. I`ve installed quick start and I have a problem now. I already installed adminexile plugin (maybe there is some interaction) and now the Site offline button is not working. If you try to login from frontsite panel the site becomes visible and remains visible while the offline button is pressed.

already resolved last question

Hello, could you please help me How can I change the logo, the only way is to change the picture in pictures folder? Can my logo have different size from the original? Must I change any configuration in the template to change the logo picture size to my size?

Also I have a problem installing the phoca favicon, I receive error 500 Layout default not found

I don't use such a component because adding favicons can be made by Features tabs in all GK Templates !!!
Please check again. //click on following image//

p.s.
We don't support all components from JED - because there are few thousands of components each uses different technique.

favicon.ico --must be-- 16 x 16 px

Thanks a lot, it worked fine. Could you please also clarify some questions?

1. I use news template. When I look the available positions in the module here http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... on-joomla/

I do not see such positions tab1-tab5, topnav, usermenu, register. But in quickstart template there are such positions for modules, is there any updated picture of the module positions for news?

2. What for are used the modules (for understand it), if I disable them I do not see any change:
2.1 Banner module
2.2 Suffix light and suffix pattern, suffix dark, suffix bigtitle
2.3 Blog categories
2.4 Suffix color, suffix advertisment
2.5 Module on menu
2.6 Archives sidebar (k2 tools)
2.7 Module menu on sidebar

Hi Riazanova
I know this doesn't fully answer your question, but have you seen this?
http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... iguration/

There is a lot of good info there, and also the Available Module Positions... http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/twn2/im ... itions.png

Hope this helps (a little bit )

Hi Thud
Yes, Ive seen these links before, and the positions do not have the same names as in my quick start template, so it is the reason why I'm asking about certain positions named in my previous post.

Please use this tip: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/gen ... templates/

You will see all module positions, like there are inside templateDetails.xml

1. How to change the template language to spanish (search, cookie law module, read more button, Home and others)?

Please also check our WIKI, there I inserted all informations
How to translate GK template:

2. How to put a language switcher?

Use one of available module position and publish Lang/Flag module

3. The bannertop module in news template, is it possible to make it scroll automatically like an animation, without pressing the arrows?

Sorry but we don't have "banner top" position, but I'm guessing that you are talking about module named "Editor's Picks" from our DEMO page /position top7/.

You have to enable (turn ON) "Autoanimation" in Additional settings (tab)

But change(!) also default value for Animation speed & Animation interval, because is too quick.

I almost forget about the World News II configuration tips: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... iguration/

Now you have all information in one place. Have a nice working hours.

Hi Pawel, thank you for your replies. Could yoi please help again?

1. In k2 items I,ve removed the left field with super user comments, date of creation, print botton, etc. How can I remove this left file to make the article, screen attached. I’de like that the text to be on all the space, including this empty left field.
2. I was not able to install tinymce editor, I receive error of xml missing, but I downloaded installation file from developer site. I also read in this forum something that there are some problems with tinymce. Is there any alternative for it for fast editing?

TinyMCE - is default Joomla editor you don't have to install it again. In Extension --> Plug-in Manager you will find " Editor - TinyMCE" check all options especially "Functionality" I suggest to use Extended.

You can use other editors: JCE or JCK Editor - links to them you will find on JED.

If you're using "mod_news_pro_gk4" check this, and delete "%DATE"

+ save changes.

About this question:

I could not find any module for contact form (not registration form) How is it possible to make a contact form without registration?

You have to install it from available extensions : http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... tact-forms

or build your own form using a Form Creator component

or use our very simple GK Contact plugin - you can insert it into article.

Hi Pavel, thank you very much! Could you please check, the date does not go out, it seems it does not do the parameters I put him

Pavel, Form Creator component is something built in Gavick template or built in in joomla? Thanks

ChronoForms is good. http://www.chronoengine.com/

Hi Thud. Thank you very much for your reply. I´ll try it.

Hi, could you please help, how is it possible yo make all the boxes of the same fixed size in gknews, responsive new mode?

Code: Select all

  Form Creator component is something built in Gavick template or built in in joomla?

Form creator - is a Joomla! component for building a forms, on JED you should find about 5-10 useful extensions. Some are commercials and more are free to download and use.
If you don't want to spend money just use "aiContactSafe" - it has also modules inside.

how is it possible yo make all the boxes of the same fixed size in gknews, responsive new mode?

There are two possibilities :
1) Use this same quantity of content
2) Use additional class which will adjust the height of the box permanently

... the date does not go out, it seems it does not do the parameters

Please add here a name of module which you are using for it. By the way, NSP have option to disable date.

If you have problems with settings please send me using PM:
a) Link to page
b) Access to backend (login/password)
c) Name of module and it's position.

Can I send the article links of site only in private?

Sure, no problem.
