Template help on "creativity"

Hi there,

I was just wondering how it would be possible to change the background of a space on the creativity template? For example, Instead of a white background in a module position, id like to add my own image at 100% width of the whole template? In the creenshot the blue is full width, id like to do the same underneath...

If you want to add background to header position, right below the Image Show please add this code to override.css file in root/templates/gk_template_name/css directory :

Code: Select all

#gkHeader { background: url('path/to/file.jpg') !important}


and then just remember to enable "Use override CSS" option in template advanced settings tab.

Hi there, i did all the following and nothing changed yet, I also tried adding the css under custom css in advanced setting..

Did you enable "Use override CSS" option ? Could you show me your site ?

Yeah I did, I will, but its on my localhost.. In overwrite.css I added the lines you gave me then activated css overwrite on in advanced settings..

Maybe something is wrong with the URL, is there any possibility to see live site ? It is always easier to check HTML/CSS code and provide solution much faster that without seeing results.

Yeah I understand, I will provide a link as soon as its live

This is what i did so far...

All looks fine here but probably URL to image is wrong. I need to see your site via firebug to tell you for sure.

Hi there,

I'd like to change the image that links on the hover on the news show pro, please see link of my example. Instead of blue I would like to put my own image?
Thanks so much

No, in News Show Pro and especially in this portal mode, the images are generated based on Joomla! images or K2 items and link will always redirect to article page.

Ok thanks for the response. And can I somehow link the animation in the intro to anouther page? Its in the screenshot above?

You mean the scroll animation when you click on menu item? Yes you need to make exactly like we did so set links to anchor points in menu item configuration and assign the frontpage template to this page. Remember also to add the menu itemID in 'Suffix for pages' field in template configuration. This page should have 'onepage' suffix.

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much.

My email's not functioning on contact, can you please help? churchonflorida.org

also having an issue with the intro. I've attached an image, the whole height is off when I open it on smaller screeens

Please add this code to tablet.css file in root/templates/gk_template_name/css directory :

Code: Select all

.gkIsWrapper-gk_creativity {height: 100%!}


and then just remember to enable "Use override CSS" option in template advanced settings tab.

Thanks so much, also my email's arent going through on the front page

Did you check regular contact form? Mails are working there?

Yes everythings working perfectly with the mailing systems thanks!

Just one thing, why is the weather module so slow? It slows down my pages by a couple of seconds? Is there anything I can do to change this?

Yes, you should enable cache in module, when there request is send to Yahoo server it always slow down page loading.

It worked!

I'd prefer the main menu on the home page to be static above the Slide module and not animated in only after having scrolled down below... Is that possible? (creativity template 3.2)

I'm looking for same, I want to show menu bar above Creativity intro.
Thanks,
David.

There is no copy/paste solution for this, the menu is scrolling by script from gk.script.js file. All that you need is just to remove part of code from this file which is responsible for #gkMenu container.

Hello bkrztuk,
going back to the topic, I followed your instruction with override.css and everything went fine. Only thing my images keep their original size, without resizing to follow the width and height of the module. Is there a way to make the background image "responsive"? Or at least to have it fill (stretching or shrinking) the width? In that case I could think about a repeat-y.....

Thank you very much

Matteo

@LolloValeGinger are your sure it is correct topic:) ? I have no idea which images you mean.

Hello bkrztuk,
did I pick it wrong or the first post of this thread is:

Then the thread changed topic...

If I'm wrong, please accept my apologies: I'll try to open a new thread with my question.

Thank you

Please create proper topic in corresponding forum area ok? It will be much easier for us to help you. Right now your post is in general discussion about Joomla!.

Hi,

It would help dearly if everyone created their own threads for issues...

Can you please assist with the contact form on my page? The Recaptcha isn't showing and its been enabled?

Regarding your above reply on the menu issue; which responsive line needs to be deleted needs to be deleted?

Did you update Joomla! to latest version where reCaptcha problem was resolved? All is configured like here ? >> http://www.gavick.com/documentation/general-questions/how-to-use-recaptcha/

Did you update Joomla! to latest version where reCaptcha problem was resolved? All is configured like here ? >> http://www.gavick.com/documentation/general-questions/how-to-use-recaptcha/

I have same problem. The recaptcha wont load

My site is http://gmhconsultancy.com/v1/#gkBottom1

Do you use latest Joomla! version? I'm asking because all Joomla! versions before 2.17 have reCaptcha bug. Could you check whether the same happen on default Joomla! template like Beez ?

problem solved

Hello,

How can I link image or text on the Image Show Module?

Please look at official documentation for Image Show » https://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla-extensions/extensions-for-joomla-1-6/image-show-gk4/ especially at area related with this image https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/0-slide-clickable.png

The image says "this area is linkable which you added in module settings" Wheres module settings??

You need to open your Image Show module configuration - there you will find all options related with this image rotator.

There isnt an option to linkable slides in gk-CREATIVITY. When I change the style to gk-apps or any other style, the slide linkable option is there, just not for gk creativity. Can you check this?

Hello,

Could you please help make my header 100% the width of the page in the creativity template. What I want to be able to do is put an image in the header position that will stretch out through the whole width of the screen (mobile tablet and desktop)

Could you firstly show me your website? Did you add the suffix for homepage like it is described in template configuration here → http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla-templates/joomla-templates-configuration/creativity-configuration-joomla/
