YOu should not release a template if it is not 100% tested!

Hi,
I have installed this template to only complicate my peaceful life!
The Image show and tabs modules are extremely buggy and unstable. Please fix them and my site too. I make one minor change to value in the module and the entire site breaks, no one else makes terrible templates like this, why do you do this?
Please look at my site at our earliest and tell me what it will take to make the image show and the tabs work properly.
By the way, I have not installed any additional modules, components, or plugins so if there is any issue, it is because of your template and modules.
Here is the site URL:http://192.185.154.195/~rugs/
Please let me know if you require the login credentials to the admin.
Thank you!

Hi

Please send me an access to joomla panel. I'll take a look what can be wrong. What was the change You've made?

Hi Teitbite,
Thank you for your reply!
I have sent you the login credentials via the PM as per your request.
Kind regards..

Hi

Problem was not with Image Show or Tabs module, but because of a misconfiguration in News Show Pro module. Module was configured to display articles from Virtuemart categories, but there are no categories created in Virtuemart at all. I changed it to show All Joomla Articles for now.

Hi Teitbite,
I see that you have made the image show work but "features" tab does not work. And, if I change the "data source" to "Virtuemart Categories" then the site breaks again and it displays the following error:

Code: Select all

VirtueMart is not installed or any VirtueMart categories are available (current language: en_gb).

Can you please make the tabs work also?
Thank you!

Hi Teitbite,
But, I saw categories already in VM! As a matter of fact, as soon as I will reinstall the demo data that came with quickstart package which I have saved right after the install, you will see all the demo information and VM categories and products automatically installed with it.
Would you like for me to reset the DB to show the demo data that disappeared after your worked on it?

Hi

Och, wait. Language was not selected in Virtuemart, so I set English there as a first thing I've done. So I believe that was the major problem after all. All the product existing were not assigned to any language and that was causing the problems. Featured tab has nothing set to display since there is still no configuration for it because of lack of the content in VM. Please try add some products so I will be able to set something to show there.

ok, great!
I will be in touch just as soon as I have added some cats and prods.
Kind regards

Hi Teitbite,
No matter what I am trying to do to add categories then products, I am finding a hurdle. I do not want to continue with this nonsense please.
The image show pro works with very limited features. I can change the slide but other than that not a single feature in it is functional. This is frustrating!
I need for my site to look exactly as it is in the demo, is it not the entire idea of installing the site with the QuickStart package? Why then I have to install so many files, libraries, and start adding categories and products from scratch? Why isn't the demo working? Please make the demo correctly so that I can install it and start editing it instead of learning to be a developer!

Never mind, I have dumped the template and installed Istyle which is just a bit less pain in the butt:)

Hi

Ok. I just started work and was going to help You. Already installed quickstart to try to figure out what was the "change" You did at start, because quickstart is an exact copy of our demo where You can see that everything is working fine. Also a copy I just installed has no problems at all. Can You please tell me what was the steps You did after installation ?

You are a good man Teitbite for trying to help me but the QuickStart package of Instyle is also has the same problems! The installation of QS does not set up the site as the demo and it is really annoying too.
Anyway, I will greatly appreciate it if you can help me with the few changes in Instyle too. I have accomplished a lot more with it already but I have a long way to go:)
Do you want me to start a new thread?

Hi

There is no need to start a new thread, just write here what You need.

All the problems You are experiencing are most likely because of Virtuemart being updated from some older version which was handling languages by a different way, so now it lacks couple of settings. Anyway it only does that for a default content, but adding own products and changing module source options to use it should resolve it.

Hi Teitbite,
Here is my first list of things that I need to accomplish:
1. Three columns in the topbar
2. Change the logo font to something similar to the Arial font
3. Create more space between the main menu links
4. How to add a low opacity background to the titles of the “top2” position banners?
5. News Show Pro GK5 that is published in the mainbody position need to align in the center, meaning, the four columns are not evenly divided.
6. How to change the color of the bottom menu hyperlinks?
7. How to change the font color of the footer links?

Thank you for your prompt reply!
Kind regards..

Hi

1. Add 3 modules to topbar than add this code to override.css:

Code: Select all

#gkTopBar .gkPage > div {
width: 33%;
float: left;
height: 46px;
}


2. In template settings You can manage fonts. Logo selector is #gkLogo.text
3. Use this css:

Code: Select all

.gkMenu > ul > li > a {
    padding: 0 20px;
}


4. With this code:

Code: Select all

#gkTop2 .gkBanner > h2 {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}


5. It is divided correctly. Problem is that images are not width enough to cover whole available space. If You want this center than in NSP settings in article layout select all the elements to float:none and text-align:center

6. By adding this code to override.css

Code: Select all

#gkBottom3 .box a {
    color: #222;
}


7. With this code

Code: Select all

#gkFooter a {
    color: #222;
}


PS: All CSS changes should just be added to override.css and rememebr override needs to be enabled in tempalte settings in order to use it.

WOW, thank you so much, you are awesome!
Another issue that I have is that I have used the code you have provided in one of the posts in this forum to make top2 with 4 columns and it worked very well as always. But, the issue now is that in responsive view, meaning, on a smaller screen, it makes all four banners tiny little thumbnails.
Can you please tell me what I am missing or if there is any CSS syntax missing?
Thank you!
Kind regards..

Hi,
I am using a logo image now as I could not figure out the other method that you have suggested. Anyway, I like this image better and would like to keep it. But, the problem is that the CSS syntax is missing from the code for logo image to work as a responsive theme. Can you please provide the syntax to make this logo image a responsive one please?
Thank you!

HI teitbite,
The facebox pop up for "Ask a question about this product" is not responsive on smart phones. I have checked other templates that are in the market and they all do not have this issue that only Gavick's templates have. It could be because, they all do not dismiss this question by saying that it is the VM issue and address it with them as Gavick support has always typically responded to this query made by other members. But, I believe that it is your template related issue also and I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out with this.
Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Teitbite,
The following code to split top2 position into 4 columns works but it is not responsive, can you please revise it so that the four modules display correctly on the smaller screens?

This is the code you have previously provided:

Code: Select all

  #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-3,#gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more,
  #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more.gkmod-last-1:last-child {
  width: 24.99% !important;
}
  #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more:nth-child(3n+1) {
  clear: none;
}

Hi

Please stop bumping Your own thread. It only changes a time of a last activity and moves Your question to the end of the line.

This code is incomplete. Try add this as well:

Code: Select all

@media only screen and (max-width:930px) {
#gkTop2 .box.gkmod-3, #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more, #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more.gkmod-last-1:last-child {
    width: 49.99% !important;
}
}

@media only screen and (max-width:600px) {
#gkTop2 .box.gkmod-3, #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more, #gkTop2 .box.gkmod-more.gkmod-last-1:last-child {
    width: 99.99% !important;
}
}


Thank you, it worked like a charm!
By the way I did not understand the bumping thing you stated, I must have done something wrong in ignorance, I am sorry for your inconvenience!
I also need help with the logo image, can you please help me?

Hi

With bumping the problem is that our moderator tool is only showing a time of the last activity so when You add a new post thread gets a current time and goes to the end of the line since we are answering from the longest waiting as first.

Please add this to override.css

Code: Select all

@media only screen and (max-width:360px) {
#gkLogo {
    padding: 40px 0 0;
    width: 200px;
}

#gkLogo img {
    max-width: 100%;
}
