Template and k2 gets messed up after update
- Edited
aman204 To take screenshots is not a problem. Its just that its so much to explain. Lets try this way. I am listing all the issues. To see the exact problem, please compare both sites. You will understand it immedietaly, I think.
The main view on front page:
1. The menu color is grey, it should be blue.
2. The menu items are going out on the side.
3. Logo has moved to the right.
The main view inside k2 article
1. On the right side of the screen there are modules showing K2 articles. The font displaying these titles have changed. This change of font is something global, because it has changed other places as well.
The first template break point
1. The site has been moved down about 5px and a grey area has been added at the top.
2. The site has become narrower in the width.
3. The menu hamburger button has been moved.
4. The menu button, when clicked on, opens a blank white menu with no content.
5. The social sharing button has changed color and moved.
The forth template break point
1. Here the template is supposed to stretch all the way out to the edges, it is not doing that.
These are the issues I can see at the moment. Please check and compare both sites and see if you understand them. If there are some you do not understand, lets look at those after the first ones have been fixed. Then I can make a new video explaining the remaining, or screen shots if you prefer.

starlight Hi
I have tried adding some Custom CSS to specific file as outlined above. You may check now for issues mentioned which are relative to this heading - The main view on front page:
Regarding The main view inside k2 article , You can provide screenshot of the same as I am unable to locate due to unfamiliarity with language
Kindly be precise as to what responsive screen size you wish to refer to in terms of viewing the relative issues - The first template break point and similarly for The forth template break point enabling us to replicate the same

This point has not been fixed from what I can see. Point 1 & 3 seems to be fixed!

The first template break point = 1199px
The forth template break point = 767px
Please have a look at this, maybe it will be usefull to locate the problem: https://www.useloom.com/share/135693fae2704bc89cd319401ff5b156
starlight In reference to your last screenshot, You can adjust margin value here accordingly in the CSS added in specific CSS file - /templates/kranos2/local/css/custom.css :
.t3-megamenu .mega-nav > li a, .t3-megamenu .dropdown-menu .mega-nav > li a, .t3-megamenu .mega-nav > li.divider, .t3-megamenu .dropdown-menu .mega-nav > li.divider{margin: 0 22px;}
The specific module item titles are appearing similar as seen in other site. Unable to see any notable difference.
aman204 Great. I set it to 15px, and that fixed it.

I want to remove the boldness that has been added.

aman204 Thx! Can you have a look at the next points?
And just to make sure, all the changes we're applying, they will remain when joomla is updated again, right? And, can you keep a track of all the changes so I can apply them to the 2 other sites as well after all is fixed (after I update joomla there as well)?

In respect to your specific query, The CSS has been added under local parent folder which primary purpose is to isolate customizations and settings. For more details, You can view this
Yet, It is highly suggested to take backup of your site before performing updates, in case rollback required whilst facing any issues e.t.c and to avoid any unforeseen circumstances and also, Ever since, the template has been customized earlier to quite good extent with several changes in files/folders and there has been custom coding involved in order to get the responsive feature
You may review now as I have added certain media query CSS to get the elements right for certain breakpoint
Thx! I can see some changes, but the mentioned issues are the same. And even some new issues has arised.
a. The main menu in the main view has moved one button down on a new line.
b. The logo has now changed its dimention in the responsive view.

starlight Hi
You may check now for the first breakpoint however, regarding the toggle menu to appear while resizing the screen size at various points, Would suggest to get in touch with the developer to have it fixed as the responsiveness in template has been added by the specific dev. and doesnt pertain to error in default stage of template
I am afraid that we can offer "limited support" in term of debuging and fixing errors when the template has been customized upto good extent from default stage
aman204 I still see all the same bugs. The problem is that it was Joey from JoomlArt who did all the template changes. Then he stopped answering my emails. Does he still work with you guys? Can you get him to look at the issue? It is very difficult for me, and may be very costly, to get someone else to fix these errors.
Maybe a solution is to find out what files are being written over that cause the template to collapse when joomla is updated. Then I can restore a backup from before the update and you can make those files not written over when updates are performed. I don't know if this makes sence or is possible, its just a thought that passed me.
starlight I still see all the same bugs.
Kindly view the screenshots in reference - 1 and 2 where the same relative issues have been fixed.
Sorry but I am not aware of any such JA representative. You may either need to kindly hire another developer or agency if unable to get in touch with the one being mentioned

This is Joey's contact details.
His email : devnjoo@gmail.com
His Skype: hiennm88
He emailed me after a thread on this forum. I don't know any way he could have gotten my email except if he was an admin here.
Screenshot of what he said to me:
Please tell me if I am doing something wrong when I check: https://www.useloom.com/share/8fc5e5b3a2cf4ae79bfab9d303ac3f67
aman204 Before your answer my last message, please consider this suggestion, is this possible: I install a backup from before the joomla update where the site is working. Then you find out where the css coding is defined in the template, and move it to the custom css so it is not overwritten when Joomla is updated.
