Dear Sir,

First and foremost, i would like to thank you for this awesome template.
I purchased it yesterday and i have installed the quickstart package for joomla 3.2, here:
http://etem.kingart.gr/

I have a little problem and i would like your support.

When i choose the menu item "About", it does not scroll down properly and it shows the Contact option, additionally when i choose the menu item "Contact", it does not scroll down to anything particular.

Please see for your self, at the above link.

Therefore i would like to ask, where i can edit the anchor links for these menu items, in order to work properly.

I know that this links are in the main menu, with the names (1) #gkheader, (2) #gkBottom1, (3) #gkBottom1-3, but where can i change where these anchor links have been created and where they should point out.

Thanks in advance for your support,
With Kind Regards,

Anchor links are elements in html that have id with same name as anchor. As anchors in html cant be edited (in direct manner) - you ned to do reverse - find ID of element you would like to scroll to, then use it as anchor.

"contact" is: gkBottom1-1

Changing module positions affects ID's.

Hello and thanks in advance for your quick support.

I haven't touched anything after quickstart installation.

How i can find the ID's and where i can edit the anchor link for scroll down?

For instance, the contact in the frontpage, is based on the "gk_contact plugin", which is enabled through a custom html module, by putting inside the module the code "{GKCONTACT}", and then the Contact option is accessible by pressing the "Contact" option in the main menu of the template, and after a scroll down effect the visitor should see the contact form. But it does not and i have not touch anything.

Therefore i would like to kindly ask for your support, and for the example with the contact above, where exactly do i have to enter the the anchor that corresponds to the link "#gkBottom1-1", since i canot find such thing either in the module parameters, or in the plugin parameters.

Thanks in advance for your support,

Dear Sir,

I appreciate your immediate help and support. I realized what you mean.

One final question i have.

If i create a new custom html module, with module ID (i.e. 776), and i would like this module to be visible on the homepage, and accessible through an anchor (just like the ones in the quickstart package with the scroll down effect), where do i have to put the anchor id

I realized that i use the external URL "#link12345", in the homepage - main menu, but the anchor which corresponds to the URL "#link12345" where do i have to put it.

Thanks for your kindly support.

With Kind Regards,

ID of html elements are generated automatically, so its more like publish module and get the ID.

To do that you need to know a little bit of html and use firebug or chrome devtools to find correct ID - or just ask on forum, any moderator will answer you quite fast on that matter.
