Two quick questions about Party Freak

Hello everybody and thanks in advance for the answers.

I just completed the installation of the template and now I have my artist working on it to "transform" it and make it suitable for a boardgame site.

Just 2 quick questions:
- Step #13 of the installation: could you please explain it to me a little more in detail?

- Layout section called "Tools": is it customizable? I've searched for it in the positions list, yet it is not there.

Thanks a lot and best regards

Hi

What do You mean by customization of tools position?

Step 13 means that You have to download also gk_party_freak_rest_files_J!15.zip and there You will find jcomment theme. Please copy it to components/com_jcomments/tpl/ and in JComments component options please in Layout section please select GK Style

Hi! And thanks for the answer.

What do You mean by customization of tools position?

I mean that the "Tools" position in the layout is not customozable (i.e.: i cannot put a custom module in that position via the layout menu).

Please copy it to components/com_jcomments/tpl/

Ok, then I must have done something wrong in the previous steps, as I don't have that directory on my server, under the "components" folder.

I'll double check.

Hi

components/com_jcomments/tpl/ is located in site directory, not template directory and it's surly in quickstart.

You're right tool elements is not a position but a standard element of the template. You can disable it in template configuration or modyfie the code for that at templates/gk_party_freak/layouts/blocks/header.php lines: 23 - 31

Code: Select all

      <?php if($this->_tpl->params->get('tools_button') == 1) : ?>
      <a href="#" id="btn_tools"><?php echo JText::_('GK_TOOLS'); ?></a>
      
      <div class="gk_hide">
         <div class="gk_popup-hide" id="popup_tools">
            <?php $this->loadBlock('usertools/tools') ?>
         </div>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
