How to use the template as a secondary

Hi,
I'm trying to use the template Simplicity as template secondary (the primary is John).
I created a menu associated with the template.
I visualize correctly the positions of the modules: bottom1, bottom2, bottom3, bottom4, bottom5, bottom6
but I have difficulty with the header and mainbody, which apparently you can not assign some class.
In particular, the header does not display the background image and the white color of the lyrics. Furthermore, the alignment is not there.
While instead of the mainbody are displayed featured articles.
The site is not in production and I can not provide a link.
Best regards.

You need to add main body class suffixes to that "custom page".

Hi,
as regards the header I solved by setting Suffixes for pages in Features settings. (867 = imageBg).
But I do not understand how to deal with mainbody.
What are the classes for mainbody?
Best regards.

Could you please post an url to your site and to subsite which should behave like simplicity homepage?

Without access to a live site I can't help.
Perhaps you could post it live somewhere for the time being?

Hi,
this is the incorrect display, showing instead of the module in the mainbody position, the articles featured

error_mainbody.jpg

however this should be the correct view, showing the module in place mainbody

T.Y.

I would suggest to post an empty custom html module in mainbody position. After that we can think about reducing space it will create.

Hi,
I have included a custom html module in the mainbody position, but not displayed.
Are always displayed the featured articles.

Please edit:
templates/gk_simplicity/layouts/default.php
and replace:

Code: Select all

               <?php if(($this->layout->isFrontpage() && !$this->API->modules('mainbody')) || !$this->layout->isFrontpage()) : ?>


with:

Code: Select all

               <?php if((!$this->API->modules('mainbody')) : ?>

Hi,

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in XXXXXXXXXXX\templates\gk_simplicity\layouts\default.php on line 142

but I found a workaround.
Best regards.

Oh, sorry:

Code: Select all

  <?php if(!$this->API->modules('mainbody')) : ?>


should work fine.
