Hello,

Reduce the margin-left call in s5_flex_menu.css at line 141 under:

#s5_nav li

That worked thanks alot. One more thing, now the height of the drop down menu, how can i change the gaps? I have too many drop down items and its falling off the screen

Hello,

You would need to use a tool such as Firebug and hover over the menu item. Then identify and change the default padding values on each menu list item to a smaller amount to bring them closer together.

Interesting tool, i found the code, i will see if those numbers do what i am asking. I thought i had found it in the admin template settings but it didnt seem to do anything.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

I am wondering where i can edit the footer module? When i show the template locations it says there is a footer module but on the backend there is no footer location. The only one i am finding is the footer menu.

Hello,

You  can change this directly on the server in Vertex > Footer.PHP

Your support is awesome.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have another question which i believe may be a joomla issue or template not sure.

That page everything with the red box is not supposed to show up on that page, only on the homepage.

All the modules are set correctly why does this happen?

Is this some cache issue?

Hello,

You need to assign your articles to a category and assign that category to a hidden menu item. I assume that happens when you click a read more link because your articles don't have a linked menu alias to display on their own pages.

Not sure i understand the whole need for that hidden menu item but this particular link is an article yes. I actually have it on my footer page for the about us. So your saying by createing this hidden menu for the category lets say create hidden menu called site info it will stop transfering those modules?

Hello,

What it looks like is happening is a pretty common thing in Joomla. If you for instance have your Home Menu item set to "Featured Articles" and load 4-5 different articles, those articles would not have a unique menu item alias other than the Home Page. So if you have a Read More button it wouldn't have any other page to redirect to other than the Home Page. Since your Home Page has all those other modules assigned to it, you end up seeing the page reloaded with all the modules and the article in the content position in the middle.

If you take your articles, put them in a category and then assign that category to a menu item via Category Blog (it doesn't have to be published on the front end) when a user click that article it will use that newly generated alias to display on a separate page.

Hi site is now live and i tried to enable all the compressions as the site has been really slow.

However once i enabled cs compression this happens:

Any ideass?

Hello,

Are you running the latest version of Vertex? If you have any 3rd party extensions these can cause issues when compressed as they need to be loaded in a certain order. Compression only results in about a 3% speed change so if you have a lot of extensions you may just want to leave it disabled. I tested a fresh Site Shaper with the built in compression and it worked properly before anything was modified.

Well i just downloaded this last month, so i assume it is all new.

Yes there is many extensions on that home page.

Hello,

Does it occur with individual forms of compression? Try enabling just CSS or JS compression individually to see if one of them works properly. As stated though with 3rd party extensions they will often times cause issues when compressed into a single file depending on how they need to be loaded. A lot of more complex compression extensions have "exclusion" options for this reason.
