new style

Welcome.
GN template has 3 different styles. How can I create another one, 4 style?
In new style I don't want to make substantial modifications, I just want to create a style in which I will have a different background image

Then it would be better to use one of existing styles by overriding it in override.css
Could you please post an url to your site?

yes, it is the best solution, but in my case sytuation is different. On my website I created 6 items in the main menu. For each of them, I would like to create a list of articles from single category, with a different background image. In this situation, i would need 6 different styles. Three I already have, now i need to create the next three.

My website: uprawypolowe.pl

Can I somewhere see the setup that uses different styles for different articles? Right now your menu items don't point to any article.

just click position "uprawa" in main menu or click http://uprawypolowe.pl/index.php?option ... Itemid=122.
I change background image in style no.2. soon i will do the same in style no.3

Please check if editing this file:
/templates/gk_gamenews/templateDetails.xml
and modifying this section:

Code: Select all

                        <field name="template_bg" type="list" default="1" label="TPL_GK_LANG_TEMPLATE_BG" description="TPL_GK_LANG_TEMPLATE_BG_DESC">
                              <option value="1">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_1</option>
                              <option value="2">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_2</option>
                              <option value="3">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_3</option>
                        </field>


and changing it to:

Code: Select all

                        <field name="template_bg" type="list" default="1" label="TPL_GK_LANG_TEMPLATE_BG" description="TPL_GK_LANG_TEMPLATE_BG_DESC">
                              <option value="1">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_1</option>
                              <option value="2">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_2</option>
                              <option value="3">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_3</option>
                              <option value="4">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_4</option>
                              <option value="5">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_5</option>
                              <option value="6">TPL_GK_LANG_BG_6</option>
                        </field>


suits your needs.
You might also want to add missing translation keys to:
/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_gk_gamenews.ini

Finally add additional background styles to:
templates/gk_gamenews/css/template.css
or even better use override.css and add declarations:

Code: Select all

body[data-bg="4"] {
   background: #fff url('../images/bg4.jpg') repeat 0 0;
}
body[data-bg="5"] {
   background: #fff url('../images/bg5.jpg') repeat 0 0;
}
body[data-bg="6"] {
   background: #fff url('../images/bg6.jpg') repeat 0 0;
}


Unfortunately, these changes have not helped. In the template style edytor (on backend) I can still switch between the three default styles (see attachment - http://uprawypolowe.pl/attachment.png)

Please send me a PM with:
1. URL to your website
2. login and password of user with admin/super-admin privileges (please create one for me)
3. ftp data (host, user, password)
4. link to this thread

i just send you PM

From what I see you have 2 files:

Code: Select all

templatedetails.xml


and

Code: Select all

templateDetails.xml


and only second one is correct. I have made the changes and it works (you can select style 4,5,6).

works great, thank you
