    Hello there,

    So, design and setup wise, my website is getting close to the finish line, there are just 2 remaining issues I can’t seem to figure out on my own (and with the help of Google:) So, here they are, hoping somebody can help. The website in question is http://www.beta.cbtt.sk

    1. Top menu bar not consistent

    On the main (landing) page the menu bar looks the way I want it to look (http://cbtt.sk/files/marek/main_ok.png) — everything’s great! However, on the sub-page, where eventually I want an article displayed, the top menu bar looks odd (http://cbtt.sk/files/marek/sub_odd.png). It’s smaller and it has stripes / dividers in between. Any idea why and how can I make them consistent?

    2. Need to insert an article into a sub-page

    I guess I’m missing something here, but here’s what I’m trying to do: The main page of the website (where people get most of their info, etc.) will be the homepage / landing page. For more detailed information I want to create separate articles which will be linked to via the main top menu bar. When the user clicks on that, he will be taken to a new page, which will consist of:
    — menu bar
    — article itself
    — footer

    At this point, I don’t know how to insert / display the article between the menu bar and the footer. Any idea how to achieve the end result? Also, while we’re at it, how/where do I specify other modules that I would like to display on the page alongside the article?

    Now, I know some of these questions are really foundational, but any help given will be much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

    Cheers,
    Marek

    Maybe helpful to read here first, https://docs.joomla.org/Beginner_Tutorials
    Then add a category, an article, and a menu item (type: single article).

    Thank you, Tim, for your reply. I have already read through such articles and was even able to previously get it working (see the current, yet very old, Joomla version of the website at http://www.cbtt.sk).

    However, to my knowledge, I am not doing anything different, yet the article doesn’t load up. An article is created, a menu item, of single article type, is then linked to a specific article. Once I click on the menu link, the page is loaded up, but without the article itself (only the menu bar and the footer are loaded up).

    Any ideas what might be off?

    Thanks,
    Marek

    Hi Marek,

    Have you checked that the template style you chose for the menu item is assigned. Look in Extensions > Templates > Assignment tab.

    Hi Tim,

    Yeah, I have that one set correctly, too…

    Hi Marek,

    Try to check the template style on your site and make sure it includes with component block as my screenshot below.

    Hello Ninja 🙂

    We might be onto something. See my current layout in the screenshot below. I’ve never had there the component block and never removed it. I set up the side using the demo package.

    How can I get the component block there? Any ideas?

    Looks like you didn’t set the About Us sub menu (single article) styles to default template 🙂

    All of the active sub-menus are assigned to the template.
    If this is what you mean. Otherwise, could you be more specific, please?

    Which template style did you choose for menu item highlighted in image below? In the menu item setup, I mean. I assume this should go to an article and, if so, the template style should be Default which should have the Auto Component in its layout. You should not assign this menu item to your customised home page template.

    Alright, so I was just able to fix one the 2 issues — the article now displays. I have opened up a default template style I haven’t touched before, called "uber – [Church] Default" and that one had the component. So I created a copy of it and assigned it to the menus and voilà, it works now! Thank you, Tim!

    So, the last issue — menu bar consistency: if you compare the main page menu bar and any other sub-page, they are different: possition-wise, design-wise, etc. Any idea how to make them consistent?

    Thanks.

    I’m not sure but you could check the menu assignments on module in position acm-header.

    Yeah, that was it! Now the menu looks the same across all the pages.
    I’ve noticed two other (and seems to be the last) tiny differences between the main page and sub-pages:

    1. Last issues with the menu
    Menu items on the main page (o nas, kazne, aktivity, kontakt) are smaller in size than they are on the sub-pages. Any idea why that might be? I would like the main page size to be replicated onto the sub-pages.

    2. Footer (not)bold
    When you look at the footer on the main page, all of the text is bold, but when you look at the footer on the sub-pages, it’s bold only where told to. I would like the sub-pages behaviour to be replicated onto the main page. Any idea where the problem might be?

    Uf, almost there 🙂 Thank you, Tim, big time!

    My guess is that you have some custom class on the footer. Can you turn off Optimize CSS and JS in template General tab for me? Needs to be off for Element inspect in browser.

    Hi Tim, it’s furned off now. The only changes to CSS that I made were these:
    https://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/cant-remove-the-footer-heading/

    Could that be it? If so, how come it doesn’t make the same "bold effect" on the sub-pages as well?
