Hello,

My website, which employs JoomlArt’s JA_Community_Plus template displays the module position indicated by the ja-right div differently depending on whether a joomla generated “article” is used or a K2 generated “item” is used for the same page template. My understanding is that a k2 “item” is supposed to display the same as, and be the equivalent of, a joomla “article.”

Here are the links to the two pages: http://www.voterfarmersmarket.org/en/voters/43-prefer-random-candidate and http://www.voterfarmersmarket.org/en/voters/the-farmers-market-model .

I am attaching four screenshots. Three that show the page template IMPROPERLY displaying the ja-right div module position inside of the ja-mainbody div when a K2 generated “item” is used as the main content in the ja-main div, as seen in Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox. The fourth shows the page template displaying PROPERLY outside the ja-mainbody div when a Joomla! generated article is used.

I am also attaching two more screenshots that show firefox displaying html code for the page displaying the K2 item and the different html code for the page displaying the joomla article.

I have scoured my site directories looking for two php files that place the ja-right div differently according to this k2 “item”/Joomla! “article” distinction, but have only found a single php file that shows this div structure. It is consistent with the proper display with the ja-right div outside the ja-mainbody div. This file is located in: public_html/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/page/default.php . Here is an abbreviated copy of the code showing the div structure from that file:

<!– MAIN CONTAINER –>
<div id=”ja-container” class=”wrap <?php echo $this->getColumnWidth(‘cls_w’)?$this->getColumnWidth(‘cls_w’):’ja-mf’; ?>”>
<?php $this->genBlockBegin ($this->getBlocksXML (‘middle’)) ?>
<div id=”ja-mainbody” style=”width:<?php echo $this->getColumnWidth(‘mw’) ?>%”>
<!– CONTENT –>
<div id=”ja-main” style=”width:<?php echo $this->getColumnWidth(‘m’) ?>%”>

…

</div>

…

<!– RIGHT COLUMN–>
<div id=”ja-right” class=”column sidebar” style=”width:<?php echo $r ?>%”>

<?php
//left-mass-top
if($this->hasBlock(‘right-mass-top’)) :
$block = &$this->getBlockXML (‘right-mass-top’);
?>
<div id=”ja-right-mass-top” class=”ja-mass ja-mass-top clearfix”>
<?php $this->showBlock ($block); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I know my abbreviation of the file prevents you from validating what I am saying, but I decided it was better than posting the long version. I hope what is placed here helps anyone looking at the file find the area I am trying to understand and find a solution for.

Anyway, I really, really need help with this one. I have spent more than a week stuck on it. It is a huge disappointment for me regarding this template. I bought the template hoping to use K2, which I find and which JoomlArts purports to offer many valuable improvements over Joomla’s content management system. However, K2 is useless to me if I cannot get it to properly display module positions around the main item content. I didn’t expect to have to choose one or the other: proper module display or the other benefits of k2. For more than a week, I have been trying to solve this problem on Joomla, K2, ostraining, and joomlarts forums. I don’t know what to do…

Thank you for any attention you can give to this problem!

Hank

As promised: here are the two screen shots of Firebug reporting the html for the page template displaying modules properly around a joomla article and for the page template displaying modules improperly around a k2 item.
