Hello,

I’ve installed JA Social II and JomSocial in my website http://www.gesucristo.gamecommunity.it
When I’ve assigned the menu items of the deafault JA Social II template, the home page of the demo site front-end is disappeared, with the result that you can see. Many components and modules are disappeared. Why? Can I assign all items in the template manager without this result?
The second question is about the login module (JomSocial) in the demo site http://www.joomlart.com/demo/#ja_social-ii When I’ve installed the template (quickstart), I couldn’t see the login module like in the demo site. (Background with parallax effect). What can I do?

Thank you and best regards,

Enzo

Hi Enzo,

For the issue of disappearance components/modules in that page, kindly check the layout that page is using (you can check in Backend > Extensions > Templates > template style that page is using > Layout tab). I guess the current layout doesn’t have position where components/modules are assigned to.

With the login module, kindly check out the documentation of this template for more info about how to configure as demo site: https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/joomla-templates/ja-social-ii

Ok, thank you. I’ve solved the issue of disappearance of components in home page. Now I’ve tried to show in home page the login module of JomSocial. Using content-mass-top position it doesn’t work, I don’t know if because is for EasySocial only. However I can’t display the JomSocial login in any module position. I’ve seen that the available module positions in the layout manager of the template are few, and some of them there aren’t. Is it possible to add others of them? To see the module positions in the site I’ve also used the ?tp=1 suffix at the end of the URL, but I ask you if is there a page where I can see in a graphic way the module positions of JA Social II. I don’t know if these facts depend by the "feature" theme.

Thank you for your assistance,

Enzo

Hi Enzo,

At this moment, there is no graphic like that, you can use ?tp=1 in URL or view the available position in Backend > Extensions > Templates > Layout tab.

You can send me the credentials of your site: URL, Admin account and tell me the page you want to show login module, I will have a look.

Hi Enzo,

Could you check the layout of template again? There is no position called ‘content-mass-top’ at this moment on your site: http://prntscr.com/a4prnd

Hi Saguaros,

you are right, in the template layout I don’t see this position, but in the module manager there is. Probably I don’t know how to use the template. Is there a guide for JoomlArt templates? Please, could you add this module position and add in it the JomSocial Login, and also this login module in the right column of all the other pages? Probably this is the reason because I can see only few module positions in the layout, how can I add positions?

Thank you,

Enzo

Hi Enzo,

You can try with my below steps to create a new position on your site:

• Open the file: ROOT/templates/ja_sociall_ii/templateDetails.xml

• Check the section where has tag and add a new tag, for example:
  <position>extraposition</position>

• Create a new block to load the new position( just added above) to directory: ROOT/templates/ja_social_ii/tpls/blocks/extraposition.php (see attached file)

• Open the layout that the page you want to use this position is using, for example, I assume you’re using ‘default’ layout so you open the file: ROOT/templates/ja_social_ii/tpls/default.php

Under this line of code: <?php $this->loadBlock('masthead') ?>

You add this line: <?php $this->loadBlock('extraposition') ?>

• Now you can go to Extensions > Modules > open the module you want and assign it to ‘extraposition’

In case you want to show in sidebar (left/right), you can assign module to ‘sidebar-1 or sidebar-2’ position.

For more info of how to work with layout of template built with T3 framework, you can check out this documentation: http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-layout-system

Hope this helps.
