Aloha,

I’m working on this site: http://www.changemanagementqed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=2&Itemid=8

Trying to get it to look like this site:

http://template15.joomlart.com/ja_teline_ii/

I have (I think) implemented everything in the directions for the set-up guide.

Here are my questions:

1) Magazin menu – how do I add menu items so they drop down like the demo site? Mine appear only if I click on them.

2) Menu in User 4 – In the upper right side of the demo site there is a menu with Login, Create an Account, Search. I’d like to have Careers, Site Map, Contact in that corner. I created a menu and put it there, and got a blue link in the middle called Careers. How do I make that link show up in the line-up correctly (like Login in the demo).

3) How do I get my main article on the left (like the one with the photo of Obama and Clinton) and then the sub-articles on the right of the main article (like the one with the 4 little pictures)

Thanks!!!

Kat

Hi Kat

First of all this one …

In Admin, go to ‘Extensions’ menu and ‘Template Manager’.

Open JA_Telline_II and set ‘Menu Module’ to ‘MooMenu’.

That should fix the Magazin menu!

Let me take a look at your other problems and get back to you! 🙂

OK. For this, first of all write and publish your articles.

Then, if you go to Article Manager, you can click the ‘Front Page’ icons. This means it will appear in the top section.

To change the order of these articles, go to the ‘Content’ menu and ‘Front Page Manger’. Here you will see a list of articles that are assigned ‘Front Page’, or, those top five articles.

Change the order to what you want and that’s done!

Hi Kat

Me yet again! 😀

For this I’m afraid you will need to ‘hack’ a bit of code. The position you’re publishing in is set to a fixed size. To change this you will need to edit the .css file to make it wide enough for all your new links.

You will need to edit the template.css file (take a backup first!).

Find the following code:

#ja-headtools . ja-unnerpad {template.css (line 850)
float:left;
padding:5px
position:relative
}

and add this line of code and play around until everything fits:

#ja-headtools . ja-unnerpad {template.css (line 850)
float:left;
padding:5px
position:relative
width: 400px
}

Hope this all helps. Good luck with the site!

Chris
