#195704

I’ve found an answer on my own to this before, but my previous solution doesn’t seem to work for me now.

Situation: I have custom modules in the header.php using code like this:


<div class="header-contact<?php $this->_c('header-contact')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('header-contact') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>


It displays fine on the front end for all screen sizes.. In the admin, I see them there in the layout tab as expected. Now I want to make them go away on the smaller responsive sizes, like xtablet, tablet and mobile, so I go to each of those sections and click the little icon in the upper right of each module and save.

Then I go back to the same responsive layout and they are not “disabled”. The Red mark that was there before I saved them is now gone as if I didn’t select it. I can’t get the save to “stick”.

In the past, my solution was when I found the $this->_c(‘header-contact’) part. In fact, I copied this code from another site I built where it DOES work to completely hide a certain position when in smaller sizes. I also downloaded the Muzic template to see how it’s done there and the code is the same (except surrounded by an IF with a module count) and it works the way I expect – like with the “ticker” that’s in the header of that template.

This is a production/live site, so I can’t mess with it much. I can create a copy of it and place in a test area if needed, but I feel like I must just be missing something.

What am I missing? Please assist! 🙂

I’m not sure about the JA Template and T3 version on your site.

+ In case of T3 version with Bootstrap3, you need to change the header.php file:

Change

<div class="header-contact<?php $this->_c('header-contact')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('header-contact') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>

To

<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 header-contact<?php $this->_c('header-contact')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('header-contact') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>

+ In case of T3 version with old Bootstrap version, you need to change the header.php file

Change

<div class="header-contact<?php $this->_c('header-contact')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('header-contact') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>

To

<div class="span12 header-contact<?php $this->_c('header-contact')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('header-contact') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>

col-sm-3, span12 are sample to define width of header-contact position.

I got this resolved. Apparently my client decided to click the upgrade to Joomla 3.2 – the framework version that site is on is not compatible with it and causes all sorts of weird issues. So…

I had actually done the span thing mentioned above, but it didn’t fix it. Once I rolled back to a site backup and made the modifications I expected to need, everything worked like it was supposed to.

Thanks for you assistance.
