Hi there – This Template is looking fantastic!!!!

A couple of things…

1) POSSIBLE BUG – According to the Module Positions guide, there is no ‘Left’ position – That’s fine I thought as I have modules in ‘Left’ on my other templates which I have for other areas of my site which I wouldn’t want to appear on Halite… BUT Halite picks them up!!! Should this be happening? If so the Module Positions guide is wrong? Where would I find in the code the bit that picks up modules in the ‘Left’ position – I’d like to take that out.

2) COLUMN WIDTHS – On looking at some of the page coding, there seems to be code checking for the width setting of the columns – Where can I enter that? I don’t see anything in the back-end paramters….

Thanks!

Hi acbonner

I would like to answer your questions as follows:

1) POSSIBLE BUG – According to the Module Positions guide, there is no ‘Left’ position – That’s fine I thought as I have modules in ‘Left’ on my other templates which I have for other areas of my site which I wouldn’t want to appear on Halite… BUT Halite picks them up!!! Should this be happening? If so the Module Positions guide is wrong? Where would I find in the code the bit that picks up modules in the ‘Left’ position – I’d like to take that out.

=> In Administrator, go to Extensions -> Template manager -> edit ja halite template. In the edit page, select Default Layout to 3 columns classic. At that time, you can see the left columns.

2) COLUMN WIDTHS – On looking at some of the page coding, there seems to be code checking for the width setting of the columns – Where can I enter that? I don’t see anything in the back-end paramters….

=> with this template, we are calculating the width of left, body and right columns. if you want to change the width of right column, please open templates/ja_halite/css/layout.css, at about line 74, find following code:

#ja-right {
float:right;
}

and change to:

#ja-right {
float:right;

width: 340px !important; /*change to your width*/
}

OK Thanks – So just to be clear – The module positions shown in the official documentation at http://www.joomlart.com/templates_club/club_portfolio/ja%11halite.html relate to just 1 of the provided layout views within the template? (If so, which one is this – default.php?)

Is there anywhere that shows the module positions for all of the layouts provided – or is it just a case of having to go through the code to work out what’s where?

Thanks

Now, we have a lot of layouts for a template. (=> In Administrator, go to Extensions -> Template manager -> edit ja halite template. In the edit page, select Default Layout to 3 columns classic. At that time, you can see the left columns.)

For the reason, to see all position in a layout, you have to choose that layout and run this link: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?tp=1

Hi, JA Developer

If change recording to your suggestion:
“width: 340px !important; /*change to your width*/”

Then the column expands,yes. But it also moves the column to the bottom of the page. Below the content. Do I have to change anywhere else to?

Hi danderss

When you add this with to the right column, you have to change the with of left column and content column to suitable.
