Hello.
I'm building a new site, and chose the BikeStore as the template, but on my tests I'm having some problems that I can't figure out the solution.

If you want, you can see at http://www.sisopcao.com . I'm only testing for now.

1.- I installed the module NewsShowPro GK4 (responsive), set it to show only on the Home page, but when I click on the 'readmore' button of one of the articles in that module, it shows the article but the module still shows, when it should disappear.
And if I set the module to displays on the 'mainbody' position, it would not show the article at all by clicking the 'readmore'.

2.- On the template configurations, on the 'SOCIAL API' tab, I have the "'Like' buttons in the articles" set to ON, just as the "Google +1 button", but only the Google+ shows on the articles, the facebook Like button doesn't apeear.

3.- I remember that Gavick used to have a PDF as a HelpFile for every module available for download, but not anymore. It was such a good help, because we could know the name of the suffixes that we can use, and so much more.
How can I know now all the configurations available for the News Show Pro GK4 or ImageShow GK4 for example? Like the module suffixes..
I know that I can install the QuickStart package of the template so I can see the examples for some of the configurations, but if I'm right, there's more options than those that are at the quickstart.

Thanks.

P.S.: Hope my english is good enough. :)

1 - ) is "8-noticias" a menu item. Regarding modules showing on articles page double check menu assignments bottom left of module settings page. There make sure it is selected as "only show on selected" and only select home menu item from list.

2 - ) I will check on this this morning on my local server when I get a chance to confirm if its working as it should.

3 - ) Regarding help file / quickstart package. Currently Gavick do not have documentation anymore. Best way at the moment is to install a quickstart package in a sub folder. This way you can compare your settings.

For future reference regarding documentation I myself thinking of creating videos for template setup so that would make users job easier. This is still on paper / plan stage at the moment.

Most of our templates and soon most GK modules will have a function to load / save / delete configuration files which will make it easier for setting up modules. All you would need to do is load the default config assign positions. That is it.

Let us know if you need further information or help setting up your website.

See you around...

Hello again.
As I read your answer (question "is '8-noticias' a menu item?") I remember: Ooops, I created the category, the articles, and forget to assign it to a menu item. Another stupidity of mine.. Sorry..
I just created a new menu (hidden menu), created a menu item with the Category Blog Type, and chose the category used on the NSP, and now works as it should.

For future reference regarding documentation I myself thinking of creating videos for template setup so that would make users job easier. This is still on paper / plan stage at the moment.


I think that's a good idea. For those who was familiar with the PDF HelpFiles, it was very simple to see the features, suffixes, etc.. But videos will also help, good idea.
I already installed the quickstart on a subdomain, so I can see the suffixes used there and take ideas to my website.
Thanks again. I'll keep testing this template with my needs, and if I need help I'll post here.

I'll wait now for your tests about the FB Like/Send button.
See ya.

I'm using simple Joomla Articles.
I'm not very familiar with K2 yet, maybe that's my next step.. I've read many good things about this component, but I only installed once, and did not test it very well.

What is your opinion, is K2 a must have extension? :)
For now, joomla articles meet my needs, but soon I'll test K2.

Well I prefer K2 due to image / video / tags etc. Before main problem with k2 was not many modules etc supported it which they do now. So I guess it really depends on usage.

See you around...

I was reading other posts on the forum about this template, and saw this:
The user 'hsdesign' wrote this post:
https://www.gavick.com/forums/bike-store/image-show-1-30-bike-store-18303.html

He shows the link to the site he's building, and I've notice that the Facebook Like button appears.. :?

On my site, the G+ is OK, the Tweet is OK, Pin is OK, but not facebook..
Tryed to change some settings, but unsuccessfully.

Thanks. ;)

Hello again..

I'm realy sorry, about FB Like button, it was my mistake... :oops:

When I activated the 'Like' buttons in the articles option, I also changed the Facebook API language to Portuguese, but instead of writing "pt_PT", I wrote "pt-PT". It's not a '-', but a '_'.. :?

On joomla, the language files begin with "pt-PT", and that was my mistake.

Thanks anyway, and I'm sorry taking your time with mistakes like this.. :)
