Hi all,

I have to following problem:

I am not using the Janews mods on my site. Instead of this I use a third Party component. However, I have to create external links to get the menulink. When i do this, the color assignment does neither work when i hover nor when I click on the menu and activate it. It stays blank.

Once again i do not use the janews mods. when I use it it works but i use another component.

I tried several things with template.css and color themes css files but couldn’t find the solution.

Could one of the admin take a closer look. please !

Dear yasinsah !
Color scheme ( set color for section or category blog menu) is gotten params of JA news module if you don’t use ja news module you can’t use colors option.

Please open ja_templatetools_1.5.php file in templates/ja_teline_ii folder, go to line 281 :


function getThemeForSection () {
.................


this is function to get color for menus. you must modify this function to customize color following component, I am sorry for not being of much help in this case.

1 user says Thank You to Sherlock for this useful post

This worked for me:

In file ja_templatetools_1.5.php in the templates/ja_teline_ii folder:

Replace function getThemeForSection (the last function in the file)

with the following:


function getThemeForSection () {
//get the most parent menu id
$query = "select params from #__modules where `module`='mod_janews'";
$database =& JFactory::getDBO();
$database->setQuery($query);
$params = new JParameter($database->loadResult());
$catorsec = $params->get('catorsec');
$itemids = $params->get('itemids');
$catids = $params->get('catid');

global $Itemid;
$mid = $Itemid;
$pid = $mid;
$menu = &JSite::getMenu();

if(!$menu) return;
if($catorsec==0) {
while ($pid) {
$mid = $pid;
$pmenu = $menu->getItem($mid);
$pid = $pmenu?$pmenu->parent:0;
}
}
//Get menu item
$menuitem = $menu->getItem($mid);
//parse link
$urls = parse_url($menuitem->link);
$querystring = $urls['query'];
$output = null;
parse_str ($querystring,$output);
$sectionid = 0;
if($output['view']=='section'){
$sectionid = $output['id'];
}
else if($output['view']=='category'){
$catid = $output['id'];
if($catorsec==0) {
$sectionid = $this->getSectionId($catid);
}
else {
$sectionid = $catid;
}
}
if($sectionid) {
if(!$sectionid) return '';
if ($catids) {
$catids = preg_split('/[n,]|<br />/', $catids);
}else {
return '';
}
for ($i = 0; $i < count($catids); $i++) {
$temp = split(':',$catids[$i]);
if(isset($temp[0]) && $temp[0]==$sectionid) {
return isset($temp[1])? '-'.trim($temp[1]):'';
}
}
} else if ($itemids) {
$itemids = preg_split('/[n,]|<br />/', $itemids);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($itemids); $i++) {
$temp = split(':',$itemids[$i]);
if(isset($temp[0]) && $temp[0]==$mid) {
return isset($temp[1])? '-'.trim($temp[1]):'';
}
}
} else
return '';
}


Then on file mod_janews.xml in modules/mod_janews folder:

Right after line beggining with

<param name="catid" type="textarea" cols="30" rows="10"

Add:

<param name="itemids" type="textarea" cols="30" rows="10" default="" label="Menu Itemids for non-blogs" description="Indicate themes to use for non-blog menu-items, enter same as above: line by line. In each line, put Menu ItemId and color theme, seperated by a : (Example: 14:orange and so on). Works only for top-level menus" />

Usage:

Go to mod_janews module options, you will find a new box called “Menu Itemids for non-blogs”

There, you can input the IDs of the top-level menus (from the menu option in joomla) and associate it with a color theme as before.

This could be done with a template override, if anyone can explain the override, will appreciate.

Hope this helps…
Willieram.
