Single page with News Show Pro

Hi!

I'm trying something that I don't know if it's possible.

I want to create a new page only showing a News Show Pro gallery linking to my articles. But this page should be not visible from any menu. Just a page whose URL I can use as an iframe.

I hope I explained...

Thanks!

Hi

Please simply create a new dummy menu. Use it to configure modules but do not publish this menu on your site.

Sorry, but I don't know how to proceed.

I've created a new menu, and I have an unpublished NSP module in mainbody_bottom position. But, how can I set this module to show up without any other elements (main menu, footer, etc)?

Hi

If You have this page prepared than just open it's link and add this parameter to url: &tmpl=component, this will remove any element bout content.

Ok, I think I'm spreading chaos, but well... I'm starting to understand

If I add '?tmpl=component' to the url, css is not loading, am I right? See: http://www.m2mphotography.es/blog/index.php/entradas?tmpl=component

More: how can I add NSP module to a menu link? If I create an empty article linked to a menu element, and I publish the NSP module on it, nothing happens. I had to create a System link to show all K2 items, but I want to use NSP.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

First. How module is set to the article? Have You used {loadposition xxx} option ?

CSS is stripped in a component view since it's used for popups and such. You need to add manually any css required in /blog/templates/gk_creativity/component.css

That's it! Using 'loadposition' and enabling default CSS through Options -> External Files it works great!
And by using the '?tmpl=component' addition to the url it's just as I wanted.

Just one more thing to do: how can I make the links to open in a new window?

Thanks for your great help!

Hi

Ok. I'm confused now Weren't we talking about a popup window for the whole time ? Where is the link which is oppening this page ? if link was made manually than You just need to add an attribute target="_blank" to <a> element.

Nope, this is the page I have configured in Joomla with NSP: http://www.m2mphotography.es/blog/index.php/entradas.
And I put it as an iframe into this not-Joomla site: http://www.m2mphotography.es/ (by clicking on the menu item 'Qué hacemos').

I just wanted to sync the new K2 items with the iframe, and by clicking on any element, to open it on a new window, not on the iframe.

I hope I explained now.

In addition, I will also need two things:
- I need to hide the footer menu link which takes you to this NSP page.
- It's possible to have this News Gallery module mode under two rows of thumbnails and no navigation? I only can change items per column, but I would need 4 columns and 2 rows.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for make you work so hard!

Hi

The page You are talking about is leading to a 404 error page, so I'll try to guess the module mode and version and tell You where to make a change.

Try edit /modules/mod_news_pro_gk5/tmpl/com_k2/view.php and in functions which are producing an element You want to change the link in (header, image, text) find each <a href="..."> and add new target attribute: blank, so the code will looks like <a target="_blank" href="...">

Sorry, I changed the title... http://www.m2mphotography.es/blog/index.php/novedades

Reading that view.php file, I found two 'href' tags inside the image section, but both have a class called nspImageWrapper. My NSP class is called gkImagesWrapper.gkImagesCols4. I don't know if this will help you, but now you can take a look at the page.

Thanks!

Hi

The html syntax is broken now. I think You have not set it properly. Please make an old ftp access work again or send me a new one and I'll make it for You.

I've just sent you new access data and I have restored the initial view.php file. Thanks!

Wait a minute, I've been modifying the wrong file. It's not /tmpl/com_k2/view.php, it's /portal_modes/news_gallery/controller.php. I've added 'target="_blank" where images are rendered and it works great now!

Now I'll try to make two rows instead of the one that comes by default. I suppose it's in the same file.

Hi

I'm glad You've made it working. To change it into 2 rows add this code to css:

Code: Select all

.gkNspPM-NewsGallery .gkImagesWrapper.gkImagesCols4 > a {
    width: 50%;
}


This is not what I need. I need 4 columns and 2 rows, with no pagination. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi

Sure it is I just misunderstood You. Since CSS is my favourite weapon lets make it this way:

To hide pagination:

Code: Select all

.gkNspPM-NewsGallery .gkPagination {
    display: none;
}


to show all at once:

Code: Select all

.gkNspPM-NewsGallery .gkImagesWrapper.gkImagesCols4 > a {
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    transform: scale(1);
}


It works great! Thank you so much! But I had to put that code to 'modules/mod_news_pro_gk5/portal_modes/news_gallery/style.css', because I'm using this URL: http://www.m2mphotography.es/blog/index.php/novedades?tmpl=component and override.css was not loading. I guess there won't be any problems with that.

Thank you again!

Hi

No, this won't be a problem if You will not update the module So please at least remember about this modification during a possible update.
