: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : nkamp June 03, 2014, 01:21:07 PM Hello,
I have an existing volleybal site. Last year I have migrated this site from joomla 1.5 --> 3.2, but keep the template at that moment, it was important for me to migrate the site from joomla 1.5 --> 3.x. But now I thought ok I'm gonne try the design control template with the vertex framework. I'm developing on my local machine with XAMPP. I have installed the template with the s5 Flex menu plugin (enabled!). I have put a module on position 'top_row1_1' and the module breadcrumb to the position breadcrumb. I have put the main menu on the position 'right'. I have debug enabled. If I look with firebug, there is nothing between the head tags <head> </head>. this is the body tag: : <body id="s5_body" style="font-size: 0.8125em;"> I have disabled all the modules except main menu, breadcrumb and last message of the guestbook (position top_row1_1). I have download the vertex documentation and read it, but I didn't read something that I thought, ok could be a thing why the page stays blank. I have also download/installed the quick install of the template and this is working. So it seems to me that It has something todo with the site and not the environment. But how can I find out why is nothing shown or do I have to configure something? : Re: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : mikek June 04, 2014, 07:24:24 AM Hello,
It sounds like there is something wrong with your actual Joomla installation or the php module on your xampp installation. Because this call: <jdoc:include type="head"> Is an actual php call that's controlled by Joomla itself. That is what actually outputs the head. It should not be showing in the source of your site at all. I would suggest putting it on a live dev server to see if it performs the same way there or not. : Re: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : nkamp June 04, 2014, 02:28:53 PM I have download the S5 Vertex template and install it. It is imediatly working. Even the main menu is already shown! My home page is a blog page and all the special article are already shown. Except the layout, but everything is working with the S5 Vertex menu.
So it seems to me that there is a 'technical' difference between design control and the vertex template. Nico : Re: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : mikek June 05, 2014, 07:26:08 AM Hello,
I'm sorry but there isn't any difference except for some css style calls. All of our Vertex templates use the exact same header calls. : Re: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : nkamp June 05, 2014, 12:23:22 PM Ok, I have deInstalled the design control template and install it again. Now it is working!

If I install the template then it is working. The first time when I install it, I think I have changed the name or something. But when I save it, then the main page leaves blank! I didn't realize that this saving had anything to do with it. So I have installed it again and this afternoon I was playing around to find out what can I do with this template. The menu was placed on the left side. So I saw something in the showcase with firebug that the max with was 1100px. (class .s5_wrap). So I saw in the template Layout that value. I try to changed this and to save it. Gues what, the main page stays blank again! So when I go to 'Extensions --> template manager' and after saving the template, I do get a blank page?? (the same happen when I save the Vertex template, the front page keeps blank) If I look in the template styles table, the design control field 'Home' is 1.

I just tested my copy and saving parameters in the back end wasn't causing a blank page. Are you using the latest Framework and Files from our site? In the About Tab it should show Vertex 3.5. I would need to have access to the live site to see what changes you made that would have affected this. -Mike : Re: Existing site, installed template + s5 Flex menu, home page leaves blank? : nkamp June 10, 2014, 02:48:11 PM Hello Mike,
I have just installed again on my test environment on my localhost. Still the same problem. I have been trying to put some code in the index.php <?php echo 'test'; return;?> to find out were it stops, but this was already before this lin: -- here I saw test <style type="text/css"> body, .inputbox {font-family: '<?php echo $s5_fonts;?>',Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif ;} Here nothing! I have the newest vertex version 3.5.0. Tommorrow evening I will put it in a subdomain and give you a log in by PM.
