JComment = Read More missing, Article Edit Btn Cut

Okay I have a couple of issues. Firstly I'm having the exact same issue as this thread, except for me it's for the Party Freak template.

http://www.gavick.com/forum/85-memovie/ ... html#55870


Basically what's happening is if i turn on the JComments gk_style template, the read more button at the end of articles in blog mode disappears.

Was this ever resolved? How can i fix that issue? Having no read more link seems to suggest that the articles have finished which isn't the case.



2nd issue I seem to have is that again in blog layout view of a joomla category the edit articles button on the front end is cut in half, the attached image shows u what i mean better, i have circled the half cut off edit buttons in red.



3rd issue is again in blog layout view, when the article text over runs the vertical line separating the article meta data and the article text it indents back inwards (see the attached image where I have highlighted the problem with a red line). This looks unprofessional. is there a way of remedying this?


4th (and final! ..hopefully :p) issue I have my blog view set out as having 1 leading article, then 4 intro articles spread out over 2 columns. creating a 1 then 2x2 article layout, however the separation between the 2 side by side articles isn't clear enough, it looks like a mess of 4 columns (meta data, article text, meta data and article text again) instead of separate columns blocks each articles. I'm not use if i explained that properly, what i'm trying to say is the emphasis between the two different side by side articles isn't strong enough, they don't look like 2 separate articles but just a messed up bunch of information. How could I make them look more professional, like different blocks? Again not sure if I explained it properly :S


You can view all of this more vividly on my site at

www.ukrapmusic.com

the best example is the blog views in "The Scene" subsection, "News" "Reviews" "Interviews" etc selectable at the main menu.

thanks in advance for all your help

OK sending FTP access


EDIT: Sorry didn't realise image was not loading up because of width

Here is the errors picture

By error 4 i mean not enough of a gap between the two articles. they are too close, blend together.

Also when i embed allvideos video into articles, it seems to create a big space between the article header and the actual video with no evidence of why its doing that.
Could u also check on that please as it doesn't seem to happen when i use a different template, see picture and link, the unexplained space is in blue

Hi

I need some frontend user details to see the edit buttons. FTP account details are needed to add "read more".

Okay i have sent u new admin access and ftp details.


Also i'm not sure if its my site or a general bug but there seems to be problems with the
News Show Pro GK4 module, the pages with arts pagination arrows seem to be sending the pages in the wrong direction.

An example is the Multimedia entitled module on the home frontpage halfway down in the mainbody.

What I meant is...

The Edit Article Buttons/Images in category or section blog view are being half cut off, you can see it in the first image I posted in this thread (the two red circles on the left side are highlighting them in the picture), how would i remedy this?

Thank you once again for all your efforts

Okay i found the edit button problem lies with

templates/gk_party_freak/css/joomla.css

.article_row

I just changed it to

.article_row { padding: 10px; }

instead of .article_row { padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; }

and so added padding to left and right now it works fine
