Flix - Issues with Theme Color templates

dsgmonkey

I just now got into adjusting template colors and came across an odd bug.
In the template manager typically I will copy a default to make a new variant and for some reason while under the Theme Color tab, this will cause the category block color to turn blue even though I made no such change. Also if I save or use the new variant this will apply to the live site. Oddly after this process, if I select my default it will still show blue on the preview, but luckily the live site will keep the actual default colors.
Offhand I haven't seen this issue when using other templates like Blockk

Joomla! 4.3.4 with latest Flix 2.0.3 php 8.2

dsgmonkey Hi

Could you tell me which category block color you're referring to?

Kindly share the URL so I can take a look.

dsgmonkey

saguaros Normally the Category Blocks are red, and as I was saying they turn blue. This is easy to see on the home page or any category page on my site currently.
Reproduction steps are going to the template style editor, theme color tab, then trying to duplicate the default theme color template will cause the issue, or just picking another pre-save, in my screenshot example it is color-adj1, which is just a saved duplicate of default.

dsgmonkey I got your point, I will share with team for further checking on this.

saguaros Just checking in before I try and adjust colors much, had a chance to look into this bug?

saguaros

We fixed the issue on your site with this custom css:

.category-primary a {
  background: var(--color-primary) !important;
  color: var(--white) !important;
  margin: 0;
}

a { color: var(--color-primary) !important;}

Kindly check.

saguaros Thanks for looking into it, although css seems to help specifically the category blocks, other things still change such as titles turn blue just by duplicating the default color theme; has me concerned there are still some core problems 🙁

saguaros

dsgmonkey I updated above code a little bit. Kindly check.

saguaros Thanks for looking into it, I hate to be a pain, but offhand it appears my PREV / NEXT buttons changed color and my footer icons changed color / in general do not show what is on the default theme color template. My Main menu colors and featured article titles are also altered.

Deleted CSS notes for now:
.category-primary a {
background: var(--color-primary) !important;
color: var(--white) !important;
margin: 0;
}

a { color: var(--color-primary) !important;}

dsgmonkey Could you take a backup of your site? I will try to apply the changes in SCSS.

dsgmonkey

saguaros Should I backup the template directory or any certain things?

saguaros

dsgmonkey Yes, the template directory is enough.

dsgmonkey

saguaros Sorry for the delay, but made a backup zip of my current flix template directory.
On that note, are things like color template options saved as files or database entries?

saguaros

I updated some SCSS files in: /templates/ja_flix/scss directory and compile to css.

Could you check again?

dsgmonkey

saguaros Sorry I got a bit distracted with other things, but I still have similar issues. On my latest tests when I try and adjust colors the title text turns blue and doesn't matter if I go back to the default color set it still shows as blue.

I went ahead and updated to flix 2.1 but still have the same issue.

Which color setting did you change so I can replicate this issue?

dsgmonkey

Reproduction steps are the same:
Going to the template style editor, theme color tab, then trying to duplicate the default theme color template will cause the issue, or just picking another pre-save, in my screenshot example it is color-adj1, which is just a saved duplicate of default. After this process, if I select my default it will still show blue on the preview, but luckily the live site will keep the actual default colors if I cancel without saving.

dsgmonkey I can't replicate the same issue at my end, could I take a backup of your site with Akeeba backup component and debug in my local?
