Hi,

I have 3 questions, my homepage url is: http://jlamp.district279.org/

1. After some JA module updates something changed on my homepage. I notice some module settings are different than before the updates. Is there a reason why my settings got changed from the module updates and do I have to go back to all those module and change them back one by one?

2. How can I make the three “feature news link” under “More:” within the JA News Pro module to move below the gray divider line” as it shown in your demo site? The “gray line” is showing on the bottom border of the module right now. (Please see example on the homepage url)

3. Someone from Joomlart helped me before to modify the css code to connect some “modules” together in the “sl1-3” and “Right” position. Now I can’t seem to figure out why I’m missing the bottom and top border in those module positions (the facebook and youtube modules) on my homepage. And I would still like to make all three columns “even length” for position sl1-1, sl1-2 and sl1-3.

Please help, thank you.
Emily

Hi Emily,

Below are my answers to your questions:

1. If there are changes in new version then when you update modules, it will take the settings of new one so I’m afraid that you should go to module and configure again.

2. Did you use the latest version of this JA News Pro module?

3. The bottom border was removed due to the following CSS rule in the file: /templates/ja_nex/css/template.css, at approx line 1442:


#Mod157 {
border-bottom: 0 none;
border-top: 0 none;
}


The same happens with the bottom border of module in the right position. In the same template.css file, around line 1447:


#Mod203 {
border-top: 0 none;
}


Remove those codes, then it should help to show the border again.

Remember to clean JAT3 cache after making such changes.

Hi Saguaros,

Yes, I’m using the newest version of JA news pro module version 2.5.9 (updated on 11/2013).

Besides my issue with the “more links” show up above the gray divider line; I’ve notice the “Readmore” link in that news pro module was spelled wrong. It should be “Read more” with the space in between the two words and I can’t seem to fix that in the module setting. Can you tell me how to fix that for this module? It appears to be correct in the other modules.

I don’t know why there are extra empty space showing up on the bottom of the news pro module, but I’m wondering if is it possible to remove those white space or to add more space at the bottom of the sl1-1, sl1-2 and sl1-3 modules so they will all appear in even length.

One last question, we will upgrade our Joomla to 3.5 this spring when the LTS is release. Can you forward me the link to documentation on how to upgrade this JA news template to work with Joomla 3.5? Do you foresee any issue with this template running on Joomla 3.5? Any suggestions on the best way to migrate with this template will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Emily

Hi Emily,

You can PM me admin and ftp credentials of your site, I need a closer look to check the root of issue.

As for upgrading to 3.5, once Joomla releases new version 3.5, they will provide guide of how to upgrade and of course, we will update our template to J!3.5 accordingly then.

Hi Emily,

The problem was due to you use different theme/profile for JA News Pro module in your site. Please try to configure like this screenshot: http://static.joomlart.com/images/templates/J17/JA%20NEX/newpro3.jpg

Also remember to add module class suffix.

Hi Saguaros,

Thank you for showing me the screenshot, however, I don’t believe the configuration on that screenshot resolve my issues.
Most of my settings are the same as on your screenshot, the few things are different did nothing to the things I saw wrong in the first place. For example:

1. After I put the Module Suffix:no–bg absolute–title
This just change my module headings which I have no problem to begin with.
2. After I change profile selection to nex_sidebar and theme to nex
My problem with extra white space and the incorrect spelling of “Readmore” still exist.

I’ve been playing around but still unable to figure out how I can get rid of the extra white spaces in the bottom of “more links” and to correct the spelling so instead of “Readmore”, it should be “Read more”.

I’ll leave the module setting as it is for today so you can take a look at it and maybe help me troubleshoot.

Thanks again,
Eimly

Hi Emily,

For the white space in the bottom of ‘more links’, you can add this CSS rule:


.ja-box-left .ja-box.column.ja-zintheme {
min-height: 783px !important;
}


then change to your desired value.

With the “Readmore” text, you can change it via the language file: /language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_janewspro.ini. Look for the text field:

JANEWSPRO_READ_MORE = “Readmore”

Once done, remember to clear all caches.

Hi Saguaros,

Thanks for the codes. One more thing, that news pro module still have the “double border lines”. How can I get rid of the double lines so it’s just a single border line like all the other modules?

Thanks,
Emily

Hi Emily,

Do you mean the inside border: http://prntscr.com/2pwhuj ?

If so, you can open file: /templates/ja_nex/html/mod_janewspro/nex/style.css, at approx line 40:


.ja-zinsec .ja-zinsec-inner {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF
border: 1px solid #E5E5E5
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
}


Then remove the border property.

Hope this helps.
