: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 10, 2015, 09:01:57 AM I seem to have an issue getting the custom.css file to be recognized by the site.
I have this in the custom.css : .staffbio {And a span tag: : <span class="staffbio">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</span> The text is red, not that I want it to be red, it was just for testing the css; but the margins will not change. Any reason for the margins not to cooperate. I have tried a few other margin options but none seem to 'take'. The screen-shot attached shows the "staffbio" class on the left and an un-styled bio on the right. Thanks : Re: Custom CSS : mikenicoll March 10, 2015, 04:08:15 PM Hello,
Does it change if you don't use % margins? Have you tried .staffbio span {css here} I would need to see a live URL to see the full source. : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 11, 2015, 09:27:35 PM I played with %, but I didn't see any change.
www.stjohnmansfield.co That ".co" is not a typo. The page in question is: http://stjohnmansfield.co/index.php/pages/staff This is the space I'm testing and adjusting the site in, before it goes live. : Re: Custom CSS : mikek March 13, 2015, 07:59:41 AM Hello,
You just need to add a float:left to your class ".staffbio" and then it should take on the margins. : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 15, 2015, 01:21:14 PM Thank you! That is the missing piece.
I am having a few more issues. I cannot get the "featured articles" to appear on the front page. I cannot find the location on the default home page. I would like to copy that, and work with it to get it solved, but to no avail. I know that I could look through all of the modules to see what is assigned to appear on the home page, and then assign all of those modules to 'replacement-home-page' , and then set 'replacement-home-page' as the default. But it would be much easier to just look at (Alias: home) and see what modules are assigned. I haven't been able to locate THAT article. In short, where does the demo front page live and how do I edit it, and the modules assigned to it? (without having to visit each module separately) Included in this issue, is the problem of locating where row-bg.jpg is assigned to the front page. While I can simply create my own image and give it that name. I would rather understand how to get an image in that spot on the front page and how to have it behave in the way it does on the demo. Firebug has not been of much help on this issue. : Re: Custom CSS : mikenicoll March 16, 2015, 12:36:10 AM I cannot get the "featured articles" to appear on the front page. Make sure the Component is not being hidden under the Template Manager > General Settings > Hide Component I cannot find the location on the default home page. I would like to copy that, and work with it to get it solved, but to no avail. This would be the menu item indicated by a "star" in the Menu Manager. Also you can control the Main Menu under the Menu Tab in the Template Manager.

In short, where does the demo front page live and how do I edit it, and the modules assigned to it? (without having to visit each module separately) Not quite sure what you are referring to here? Perhaps check out the "Featured Articles" which are designed to appear in the Component area for "Featured Articles" on pages such as Home.

Template Manager > Backgrounds Tab : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 16, 2015, 07:16:20 AM As far as the "home" page. Yes I see the star - (attached home1.jpg). I can see that the alias is "home" and that the ID is "101". I click on the link, and then I see this- (attached home2.jpg) Please note that when I hover over the link box, I get a "Disabled Cursor", I cannot view that link. Therefore, I do not know a way to get to THIS article.
Looking through the modules assigned to this "PAGE/ARTICLE", (attached home3.jpg, home4.jpg & if I was allowed 5 attachments, home5.jpg) show nothing that remotely looks like a featured article module. I have everything in place except for the front page issues. There must be a simple thing that I am missing here. ( I received an error when I went to post this - 350kb attachment limit. Frustrating!) : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 16, 2015, 07:17:26 AM home3.jpg

If the menu item is set to "Featured Articles" as the Menu Item type then it would load the articles you have specified in the back end of Joomla at: Content > Featured Articles : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 17, 2015, 05:58:28 AM And yet it does not do that. I have three articles "FEATURED" and they DO NOT show up on the feature front page. These articles were and are featured (see attached) at the time of your posting. Did you even look at the page? http://stjohnmansfield.co/
My questions are still not answered. The front page, "Home", is set to Feature in the menu, but none of the articles I have set as featured appear there, WHY? In Joomla's back end, I 'save as copy' the Home menu item (Home(2)) on my site. That copy show featured articles. I did nothing else but copy the menu item. You'll notice that it looks completely different than "Home", which has the modules from the demo AND NO FEATURED ARTICLES. AGAIN WHY? : Re: Custom CSS : mikenicoll March 18, 2015, 06:14:36 PM Hello,
If you PM me back end Super User I can take a look at your settings. The only thing I can think of that would stop Featured Articles from appearing in the component would be if you have opted to hide them via the Hide Component setting under the General Tab. : Re: Custom CSS : kspontelli March 19, 2015, 07:03:48 AM If that was true, that the component was "hidden" via the General Settings, the Home2 menu item would also not show the featured articles; but Home2 DOES show the featured articles.

I have received your PM and will reply back once I have more information. : Re: Custom CSS : mikenicoll March 19, 2015, 08:40:56 PM Hello,
The articles are appearing on both pages now. As stated in both my threads you have the Home Menu item set to "Hide" the component on that page. The other menu items were not selected in the drop downs which is why you could see the articles on those pages. Every menu item you have the option to display/hide the component. |
