Documentation - Configuration

**GK User** Wed Dec 12, 2012 7:47 pm Reply with quote Report this post

I want to configure this template so it looks exactly the same as on http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/fest/ but this template is quite difficult to understand. Well, for me that is.
I managed to get the header and sponsors right but speakers is a different story. Is there some documentation of configuration?

I installed this template and asigned it to a menuitem, so it is not the main template so using the quickstart-install is no option.

Please look here http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/fest/index.php/typography/k2-custom-pages here is article about speakers and event view. You need to use custom K2 view that's the reason why you can have problems with it.

The article says: "The K2 component contains additional views: speakers and event". Those templates are not available in my installed version. I can only choose default!

Could you open this directory root/templates/gk_fest/html/com_k2 and make a screenshot of files there ? You should see some additional (apart 'default') views there.

Looks alright to me:

But as you can see in the next image there is no template to select.

I Found the two templates!!!
Copied the two maps events and speakers from FEST to the map in the main-template. Now I can select both.

Now I can select event and speakers but that's for the main-template. One way or another I need to select those templates in FEST instead of the Main-template.

Yes because this views are created in fest template not default K2 one.

OK, but how can I tell K2 I use another template then default?

Looks like Fest can't be used as 2nd template?

You need to install second template and assign it for k2 menu items - that's all.

The header looks allright...

but the speakers don't.

Any documentation on the sponsorpart would also be appreciated
