Hello,
Last week I installed the quickstart for version 1.5 without any issues…however some key third party modules do not work in 1.5 yet…so I need to drop back down to 1.0

This evening I downloaded the quickstart for version 1.0.15 and have run into a couple problems…

1. The index.php references template.css … which did not work. So I changed it to template_css.css and renamed the css file accordingly. I can now edit css through the admin console…so this is fixed. Someone may need to check the quickstart package.

2. How do you configure (e.g. width, color, font size) in this version? It’s really easy in 1.5 of course…and I’m used to editing the html/css in version 1.0 in well commented sections…but I’m not seeing those here. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help!
Craig

I have installed so many JA Teline II already, I never encountered this problem. The template.css seems to be working. I get the exact Demo page.

To access the css via your Admin Control Panel:

Administrator => Site => Template Manager => (select) JA Teline II => click Edit CSS

To access the css via FTP

I prefer accessing the actual css though. Use FTP to access the site

(your JA Teline) => templates => ja_teline_ii => css => templates.css (or some other css)

I usually do a “Page Source” to get the actual html of the entire page, then use Find to isolate the “module”, or specific recognizable “TEXT” in the page. You will find all sorts of “divs” or “spans” with the name of the appropriate css code defining features of a text, section or category module. From the set of class name of the divs or spans, you will then be able to find the appropriate name back in the template.css or one of the other css.

This is the most tedious part (editing the css)

Hi Cornelio,
Thanks for the response.

I’ve installed Teline I and II a number of times as well without issue, that’s why this latest version has me stumped. Again…it’s the 1.0.15 quickstart version. When I went into to Template Manager and clicked “Edit CSS” is didn’t work…it gave me an error.

UPDATE: Here’s a link to someone else posting the exact same error I got. http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showthread.php?p=57732#post57732

The only way I could get it to work was to change the file name to template_css.css and to edit index.php to reference the new file name. Everything else is working fine. Strange.

As for editing CSS…yep…I’m comfortable editing CSS as you described…but in the past… version 1.0.x templates had an area to quickly and easily change the site template parameters. Not finding that in this quickstart version…stumped. I started a new thread about this issue.

Thanks again,
Craig

UPDATED: Found where to make parameter changes… edit the ja_vars.1.0x.php file in the tempate directory.

Hi Craig,

I am glad it worked, however it was solved. When did you download your QuicStart? There are a few people reporting errors that I do not observe.

In the case of Joomla 1.5x, for example, I am beginning to wonder, if it is indeed there are bug. I found that some files are missing in the CSS for Joomla1.5x. I have less issue with Joomla 1.0x, so I am recommending peole should try this first.

Hi Cornelio,
I downloaded the 1.5 quickstart around May 28th…didn’t run into any problems with that. Due to some incompatibilities between 1.5 and third party extensions, I have to drop back down to 1.0.

Downloaded the 1.0 quickstart on June 6th. Other than the template_css.css file naming issue…haven’t encountered anything else (oh also the video thumbnail isn’t appearing…but that’s a simple fix).

Thanks again,
Craig

Hi Craig,
I found myself exactly the same css file problem. You are absolutely right.
Please help me how to fix the video thumbnail problem wich is not appearing for me too (1.0.x Quickstart install Teline II).
And also I have a problem: when an article has more pages, the article index has small grey bullets on the pages’ links, you can check it with the demo content – Layouts/Content + 2 column page. I think this is some css align problem, you can see the grey bullets on top of ‘xa’, ‘ag’ letter-pairs, that is not functioning as bullets. If you have some idea to fix…
Thanks
Attila

Same here Craig,

That is what I am telling people, but no one listens. Everyone is enamored with the Joomla 1.5.x, and I telll them it is too new and still has a lot of growing up to do, plus as you stated there are incompatibilities with third party extensions, or at least the ones I used do not have the native version yet.

I have installed a few of the Joomla 1.5x — provided you do not play with them, move things around, the Demo looks nice to look at.:) However, I have tried twice, different installations, and I cannot make the Gavick extensions that I like to work properly with JA Teline II (even the Joomla 1.0xx version). As a matter of fact, it looks like there is a Trojan horse, I lost the JA News after both instance.

When I uninstalled and re-installed the JA Teline II template, it is restored but I think there are bugs in the JA Teline II because the layout of the Section and full articles were messed up.

Would somebody advise me re. above problem? The factory default flv file is in the storiesvideos folder, while the thumbnail.flv.jpg image is in videosthumbnail, everything is left as it was set factory default. No thumbnail and no knowing how to give a second video when I wouldn’t like to have a second player, but a playlist instead. The dedicated playlist.php (scripted by Joomlart) is also next to the video file.
I’ve red every tutorial and post, but no definite answer, just the knowing that many other user experienced the same.

Thanks forward,
Attila
