JA Healthcare - Module Positions in xLayout

webmonfo

Hy there, i have a problem with JA Healthcare xLayouts and Module Positions.
For example: when i make a new module for the Services Site and put it on Position "section" it comes up before the Component. How can i define a "section-like" Position after Component?
If i use the "navhelper" Position - this is after the component - the module text and button is not shown and also not over the full width.
Hope someone can help me.
Thx in advance!

Hi webmonfo

You can add a new position/block just above the navhelper block as section-2

To add it edit this file templates/ja_healthcare/tpls/default.php and change from :

  <?php $this->loadBlock('top-bar') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('masthead') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('section') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('mainbody') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>

TO :

<?php $this->loadBlock('top-bar') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('masthead') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('section') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('mainbody') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('section-2') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

<?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>

Save file

Then duplicate this file /templates/ja_healthcare/tpls/blocks/section.php and rename duplicated as section-2.php

Edit section-2.php in as showed below

From :

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>
<?php if ($this->countModules('section')) : ?>
	<!-- SECTION -->
<div class="section-wrap">
	<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('section') ?>" />
</div>
	<!-- //SECTION -->
<?php endif ?>

TO :

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>
<?php if ($this->countModules('section-2')) : ?>
	<!-- SECTION -->
<div class="section-wrap">
	<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('section-2') ?>" />
</div>
	<!-- //SECTION -->
<?php endif ?>

Then edit this file /templates/ja_healthcare//templateDetails.xml and add new position in <position> section

<position>section-2</position>

Hope it helps

Hello Pavit,
thank you very much for your quick help!
This is exactly what i wanted. Wonderful 😃

Is it possible for you to help me with 2 other things i'm not understanding?
1) i do not understand the sequence of "MainNav > Vertriebspartner > Component-Category-Articles. Why "Auftragserfassung" loads first? Can't find the parameters for the delays and why some articles load different and not in the sequence?
2) How can i load for example "Home Articles - Category" Module within an Article in "Unternehmen > Unser Qualitätsversprechen"

Thank you in advance!

Hi webmonfo

1) Editing your menu item (Vertriebspartner) you can change order of articles to be showed following parameters in Blog layout.

Changing them will also change the order of articles in your module

2) If i correctly understood your question, you want to add a module into your article, you can accomplish it adding the parameter {loadposition} inside your article.

Take a look HERE to learn how to do it.

Hello Pavit,
thank you for your fast reply!
1) i know the setting for ordering articles, etc. ... this is not my problem ... the problem is the sequence of the component-animation... first article shown is not the position1... it is the 15th/19th/20th/21th at the same time... and then the others step by step... i can't find the error or fault parameter i set? i want to have a nice sequence 1-2-3-4-5... and so on...
2) thank you for the link - i will try to figure it out!

webmonfo the problem is the sequence of the component-animation... first article shown is not the position1..

Maybe i misunderstood completely your question -

Could you clarify with a screen shot to which animation are you referring ?

The only animation module is the slideshow in your home page - others are articles assigned to your Vertriebspartner category and you can change their order as showed above.

Hello Pavit,
sorry for my bad explanation in english ;D
I made a screenshot - hope this will help - you also see better what i mean when you click PrimNav > Vertriebspartner when your Browser view is for example at 40%.

You also have a good Tipp for a Component/Module to make custom forms. In Joomla 1.5 i used ArtForms.

Thank you in Advance!

I cannot see your main menu as you showed above but i can see only 2 menu items

anyway i think screenshots below can clarify your question.

Hello Pavit,
thank you for your help - i know how to manually order articles.
It is not the order of articles what is wrong - it is the order they load when you open the PrimNav-Link "Vertriebspartner". There is an animation, when it loads the articles... but it doesn't start with the first one...
it starts with several articles at the same time and then with the first...
kwim?

Thanks in advance!

Hi webmonfo

Account provided above is not a super user , could you please update it ?

Anyway you can try to add a custom.css file in this folder /templates/ja_healthcare/css/ and add to it

.enable-effect .ja-inview .ja-animate[data-delay="item-12"], .enable-effect .ja-inview .ja-animate.dl-item-12 {
animation-delay:2100ms!important;
}

To troubleshoot, Does the animation effect work as envisaged by loading the intro-articles in sequence if you decrease the count of # Intro Articles to atleast 10 in Menus: Edit Item --> Blog Layout

webmonfo

It is like mentioned by aman204 (cant find the post from him here - post13? - in my EMail Account it is?)
When i reduce the count of intro articles to 10 the animation is ok...

when i take back the count to 28 it is not in order...

is that a limitation of the department xlayout?

I have restored my forum post now as you have referred to it now. Had removed the same so as to avoid conflict of replies to similar relative issue, probably resulting in confusion or ambiquity, as Pavit had also added response simultaneously 🙂

We can wait for Pavit's reply on the same

webmonfo

Could you try now ? i can see everything popping up at the same time now

I set it to 1000ms

webmonfo

pavit
Hello pavit - yes all is popping up at the same time now... but that is not what i want.
i want the animation like standard set in template... the sequence... article after article in the right order...
is that possible also with 28 intro articles?
Thank you in Advance!

pavit

webmonfo is that possible also with 28 intro articles?

As i posted a custom code to have all articles popping out at the same time then the single article animation popup will need of a dedicated custom work, you can try to reduce the amount of items showed and then remove the code i added to the custom.css file .

Regards

webmonfo

pavit
Hello Pavit - Thank you for your help.
Can you point me to the Files where i had to make the custom work.
There must be a file where the animation of the first 10 articles is defined, or?
Thank you in advance!

Hi webmonfo

It is defined in this file /templates/ja_healthcare/html/com_content/category/department.php

<?php if (!empty($this->intro_items)) : ?>
	<?php foreach ($this->intro_items as $key => &$item) : ?>
		<?php $rowcount = ((int) $counter % (int) $this->columns) + 1; ?>
		<?php if ($rowcount == 1) : ?>
			<?php $row = $counter / $this->columns; ?>
		<div class="items-row cols-<?php echo (int) $this->columns;?> <?php echo 'row-'.$row; ?> row">
		<?php endif; ?>
			<div class="col-sm-6 col-md-<?php echo round((12 / $this->columns));?>">
				<div data-animation="pop-up" data-delay="item-<?php echo $key; ?>" class="item ja-animate column-<?php echo $rowcount;?><?php echo $item->state == 0 ? ' system-unpublished' : null; ?>">
					<?php
					$this->item = &$item;
					echo $this->loadTemplate('item');
				?>
				</div><!-- end item -->

Hope it helps

Hello Pavit,

thank you for your help.

I tried several hours to understand the code but i have not figured it out.
It's a pity because we need the 28 articles in this point and the animation-secquence looks quite better then popping up all at the same time. Also on the Home it not looks as good as the sequence 🙁
it works until article 14. when you add a 15th article it will crash the sequence.
