I have three issues:

1) I attempted a template update from the original 3.11.3 to 3.13 but received an error when uploading using Extension manager so I overwrote the original news2 template files using ftp and it seems fine. Except the version number has not changed from 3.11.3 to 3.13. Is there a way to do this? Btw, I never received a template update notice in Joomla 3.3 as I would have expected.

2) I made a nice png logo for the site and installed it. Looks good, except when you scroll down, the logo covers the first two menu items. Is there a way around this as it doesn't look good covering part of the menu.

3) How do I make it resize for mobile? It's 300 px wide.

Re: #3) The logo could fit on a mobile screen but it shows being pushed over to the right meaning the right-side of the logo is off screen.

Hi

I see it's showing 3.13 so it's ok.

Add this code to override.css and make sure override is enabled in template settings:

Code: Select all
#gkLogoSmall {
    height: 55px;
    margin: 0 20px 0 0;
    width: 140px;
}

#gkLogoSmall img {
    height: auto;
    margin: 12px 0 0;
    max-width: 100%;
}

1) It shows Gavern 3.13 on Template Details page but not on Extensions/Extension Manager/Manage/Templates where it is still 3.11.3. Also a mouse over gk_news2 shows a strange box appear.

2) Good! The logo is now resized and fits in the menu bar.

3) The logo still doesn't centre in a mobile device -see attachment.

Hi

1. Do not worry about that. This list it taken from database, so only an update via joomla installer will update that.

3. Add this at the end of mobile.css:

Code: Select all
#gkLogo {
    width: 100%;
}
