In my search for the perfect template for my site, I have now started working with the JA Ores template. But before I start to work too much, I would like to ask if it is possible to add an article separator between the articles in the blog layout?

There is a very nice blog layout on the demo site, but I feel it lacks a thin line as a separator.

If for example, I have an image called “separator.gif”,where and what files do I change (and which code) in order to have it shown? I have tried and tried, but still no luck. I can see that in the template.css, the article.separator is “display:none”, but even when trying to change that, I have no luck.

Any ideas?

If you wish to show in article separator for category blog layout, You can follow these steps 🙂

1) You can change this::

.article_separator, .leading_separator, .row_separator, .column_separator {template.css (line 591)
display:none;
}

to

.article_separator{
border: 1px solid;
display: block;
}

and

.leading_separator, .row_separator, .column_separator {
display:none;
}

2) Go to ::

templates/ja_ores/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php file and change this::

<?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>

to

<span class=”article_separator”> </span>
<?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>

Thanks, I really see what you are doing and I understand the process. Have followed your guidelines but still no luck. Nothing happens in the blog layout.

Just to make sure that we are talking about the same blog layout, this is the one I want to change:
