Is it possible to change the way an article starts off? Right now it is on the same line with the icons, and then acts like a hanging indent. This leaves a lot of wasted space on the page, where I can’t even put a module. If I do place a side panel module, then the article is very narrow.

My site is My Development Site and you can see it specifically under any menu link, i.e. Government Links. I have attached a screen capture that shows my question.

Thanks,
Pat

Hi @patvandenbosche,

I’m afraid that similar as many questions we got with JA Teline V, this part is designed to display social sharing and typo tools so you cannot inject any module position here.

Thank you, Adam. Not the answer I wanted, but I guess I will just turn off the icons, and find another extension to promote articles.

Do you have any other suggestions, based on your experience with Teline V?

Hi @patvandenbosche,

Great news is I have just checked this matter and you can follow these steps to achieve your goal.

1. Open file templates/ja_magz_ii/helper.php and look for this line :

   public static function relTime($timespan, $granularity = 1) {

   add 1 more function above it as below (I still keep the line in below code so you can see the position of added code) :

   public static function loadModules($position, $style = 'raw')
   {
   jimport('joomla.application.module.helper');
   $modules = JModuleHelper::getModules($position);
   $params = array('style' => $style);
   foreach ($modules as $module) {
       echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, $params);
   }
   }
   public static function relTime($timespan, $granularity = 1) {

2. Open file templates/ja_magz_ii/html/com_content/article/default.php and look for this block :

   <div class="article-tools">
   <div class="title-reading hide"> <?php echo $this->item->title; ?></div>
   <?php if ($icons): ?>
       <div class="default-tools">
       <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.magazine_icons', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params)); ?>
       </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php if ($typo_tools): ?>
   <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.typo_tools', array()); ?>
   <?php endif ?>
   
   <?php if ($sharing_tools): ?>
   <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.sharing_tools', array()); ?>
   <?php endif ?>
   </div>

   add 1 more line below it :

   <div class="article-tools">
   <div class="title-reading hide"> <?php echo $this->item->title; ?></div>
   <?php if ($icons): ?>
       <div class="default-tools">
       <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.magazine_icons', array('item' => $this->item, 'params' => $params)); ?>
       </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <?php if ($typo_tools): ?>
   <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.typo_tools', array()); ?>
   <?php endif ?>
   
   <?php if ($sharing_tools): ?>
   <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.content.sharing_tools', array()); ?>
   <?php endif ?>
   </div>
   <?php JATemplateHelper::loadModules('below-article-tools', 't3xhtml') ?>

   Now you can create new module, in module position, type in below-article-tools then hit enter (this position is not visible so you cannot select it from the drop-down)

Bad news is you will lost your change everytime you update the template.

Great! I will give this a shot tomorrow to see how well it works. I will just have to keep the original template files that are affected on my computer so I can hopefully restore the template or just not upgrade the template.

I’ll let you know if there are any problems within a week.

Thanks!

Well, I tried it and it failed… so I’m going back to plan A, removing the icons for mail, print, etc. Thanks for trying, Adam. I really do appreciate your efforts.

Hi Pat,

Have you solved the problem on your site? I checked the URL of your site and see all icons for mail, print, etc have been removed on your site.

Regards

No, I turned them off so the client could view the site. I didn’t want them to get upset. I figured if you were going to work on it, you would turn them back on. If I’m wrong… well, I’ll just turn them back on now.

Thanks,
Pat

Hi,

I have been considered the solution with your request and the CSS style below will help you to move print-email icons to top the article.

Open templates/ja_magz_ii/css/custom.css file and add new rule

.item-page .item-main .col-lg-3, .item-page .item-main .col-lg-9 {
    width: 100% !important;
}

Hope it helps

Regards
