Hi

To change the layout and remove some of the positions,

1. Go to Extension > Template Manager > Your template.
2. If you know which layout your template is using currently, the go to Layouts tab to edit that layout.
3. If you dont know it, then check the Page assignments to see which Profiles are being used in the site.
4. Go to Profiles tab and select the Profile being used.
5. Scroll down in the Profile settings to see which layout it is using.
6. Then again follow step 2
7. Remove the blocks you dont want in your template and save it.
8. Refresh the frontend to check the changes.

Let me know if need any more help with this.

Can you please send a layout sketch which you want to implement? I think it should be achieved from the layouts itself. If you hide the blocks from css file right now, it will become difficult to find issues in future (if any) with so many blocks hidden..

If you can show me the layout, I can guide you precisely.

All i would like to do at this point is remove the main content blocks in the middle section below slide show and above bottom spotlight
that hold articles …etc…
In this JA BUSINESS template in my screen shot below i have disabled these modules as you can see in screen shot below ( i am going to use ‘modules’ them on linking pages)
i wanted to allow the home page to fit without any scrolls for our users) all the modules that applied but i am left with these block
that make the white spacing in between

been looking in the source code i think it is called Main Container? see attachment i wouldlike to get ridof the center white area
i disabled the sample date

what is the least amount of this code i can delete to get rid of these blocks and spaces that are in the middle (I want to keep the bottom part and marry it to the top panel then i will place the slide show and our other items there.

peace blessings
Thank you for your help i will be working for about 3 more hours

Ok. This is what I suggest..

Since you want to have only top and bottom positions in template on Home page, you should use a profile for Home and another profile, say Default for all other pages in the site which will have the same layout, containing the positions between top and bottom positions. To achieve this, please follow the steps below.

1. Go to Extensions > Template Manager > JA Business.
2. As you will see in the Page Assignment, Default Profile is assigned to All Pages. So we dont need to change anything in this.
3. Now there are some other profiles but we will create a new profile for the Home page.
4. First to create a new layout, go to Layouts Tab, click on the Clone link infront of Default Layout. Name new layout as ‘Home‘
5. Edit Home layout and remove the code something like below <blockquote><blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”33″ main-inner=”2″ wrap-inner=”1″>

<block name=”inset2″>right, left</block>
<block name=”content-mass-bottom”>content-mass-bottom</block>
<block name=”content-top”>content-top</block>
<block name=”content-mass-top”>content-mass-top</block>
</blocks></blockquote> Here what we are removing all the positions in the middle block. Save the layout using Save link on this popup window.

6. Go to Profile Tab and select Default Profile. You will then see an arrow on the right of Profile name, click on it and clone this profile and name it ‘Home‘.
7. Now select the Home profile, since we will need to change some setting here. First find ‘Hide Main content block‘ param and set it to YES. Then scroll down to find ‘Desktop Layout‘ param and choose ‘Home’ here. And save the profile using Save button in top toolbar.
8. Now our new profile is ready to be used, but we need to assign it to the Home page. So go to Page Assignments and Click on the ‘Click to Add‘ text box under title Page. Mark all the Home page links you have in different menus (main menu , bottom menu etc), use select link in this popup window to select all the marked menu items.
9. Then click on the empty textbox infront of the itemid(s) we have just selected and choose Home profile.
10. Save the template. and see the result on Home page.

Let me know what happens.

thanks i give it a try I just got an error from view site it seems i had corrupted the index.php file
i did a back up yesterday so all is well i hope peace

when you change something on the template.css does it overrides everything in the T3 framework?

Hi,

Hope the solution works for you.

Yes if you define something in template.css it will override the JAT3 plugin css unless the styling in plugin css is marked !important to give it a priority. In such case you can add !important to the required property for an element in the template.css and it will override the plugin css again.

Update: Did you try replacing the file from FTP before accessing it from browser?

Hi,

Good to see your site as you wanted 🙂

To remove the white box, edit your template.css and find the styling for #ja-container .main { something like below.

<blockquote>#ja-container .main {
background: url(“../images/demo.gif”) no-repeat scroll center top #FFFFFF;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-top: 20px;
}</blockquote>

Replace it with

<blockquote>#ja-container .main {
background: none;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-top: 20px;
}</blockquote>

Hi

I am not sure what exactly you want changed so if you provide site url and tell me what you want changed then I can tell you exact changes. Generally all the styling is done using template.css, layout.css and all the default css files you find in the template/css folder..
