Hi,
I have created a new article, and formatted some headers with “Heading 3” and “Heading 4” in the article.
But, i dont get the formatting shown in the quickstart.

I also created a table, thinking it would look like shown here, but it dont: http://templates.joomlart.com/ja_travel/typography.html

So my question is; where is there a manual to explain me how to do this? Cause it is obviously not “straigt from the box”. I have searched this forum and noticed there is a plugin, which is not included in the quickstart so i dont have it.

Template is very nice, but i think the instructions are to poor.

Anyone who has any tips how/what to do or where to find instructions that is of any help?

I am using jce as editor.
I have used a lot of different templates over the years, and i must say i find this difficult to use. Even though i have installed the quickstart.

Every JA template comes with a User guide in their respective forum. Including Travel #6 maybe?

Hi,
and thanks for getting back to me swissa.

I have found this one, but it does not give me much.

I have read the “Typography Styles – Supported in JA Travel ” chapter, but it does not tell me anything.

As i stated in my post above, when i mark a text in the article and set the text to be Heading 2 or 3 (or anyone of the others), it does not display look of the heading (no color or font) as shown in the demo.
And i dont understand why? And i dont know why the typography is not working.

I have done nothing else than installed the quickstart, is there anything i have to do to get the typograpy to work ?

I’m not sure to be honest – but since Joomla 2.5 there is a new text filter included that strips out certain tags. You need to make sure that this is set properly for the Super User.

Go to Global Configuration / Text Filters

I have no idea if this suggestion will help. :-[

Thanks again for your effort, i really appreciate it. Unfortunately the global config it was set up like you show me, so that did not get me any further….

All other tips are appreciated – anyone ?

Hi Nettemor,
I agree with you, there is room for improvement regarding the doc related to typography. As far as I see there are two possible ways to apply typography styles to your articles:
1) You apply the styles manually toggling the article editor to html. for example if you want to syle an h1 header you will put something like:
<div class=”ja-typo-blockswrap clearfix”>
<div class=”ja-typo-blockrow cols-1 clearfix”>
<h1 class=”ja-typo-title”>Article page with comments form plus basic typography showcase</h1>
<div class=”ja-typo-block”>
<div class=”ja-typo-blockct clearfix”>

You check the styles from the examples in the demo website (you can check the style options using tools like firebug)

A look at the typo.css file will help for example the h1 header above was stiled with:
.ja-typo-blockswrap h1.ja-typo-title {
color: #D41B41
font-family: ‘UbuntuRegular’,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 250%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 10px;
}

2) A second approach is to add typo.css to the styles of the editor. For example you go to extensions -> plugin manager -> Editor -tinyMCE Here you can add typo.css in the box “custom CSS classes”
After saving, you will have the styles from Typo.css directly available withing the “styles” menu in the editor. If you are using an editor like JCE you will be able to add DIV blocks without toggling to html mode.

I hope my explanations were not too confusing.

Cheers
Luca

Thanks lucavicini,

I see what you are saying, but i still find this very difficult to use. There is no telling what kind of class/typo to use when wanting to set a typograpic formatting.
And i cant expect the customer to know and edit html code in this matter.

I am not pleased with the fact that there is a typo button to use for this, and that it is not included in the package. We have to buy a license to use it.

This is making a lot of trouble i think, cause the typo is so different than in the original template. F.ex. i want the headings to be blue and not black, – i find it really hopeless knowing what to use. Why could not the H1, h2 and so on be formatted the way it is used in the template demo ?

Its very misleading, and i am not pleased at all. So i will stay out of buying more templates from joomlart until you get a better tutorial.
