Hi,

Thank you for making such nice templates. I am trying to adapt JA Mica to a website and have a problem. In my front page, I have a few different articles with thumbnails (like on your JA Mica example page). However, instead of having the text on the right of the thumbs, my text is on the bottom. How do I change this?

Thanks!

click on your image…then press the image button and choose its alignement as left (in second tab)…then the text should appear to the right of its image

Thanks, this works well. Now the only problem is that there is no space between the image and the text. In the live demo, there is about 5-10 pixels between the text and the image, which looks a lot better!

I tried doing this, but it didn’t change anything. When I edit the image, I have an option to enter some numbers for HSpace and VSpace, and border. I entered numbers between 2 and 100 for each of these boxes, but nothing happened. In the editor view, the image has the correct margins, however for some reason these are not displayed on the front page. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

have you cleared your caches

I have cleared my caches. I’ve reloaded the page many times as well. Other changes that I make are updated after I reload the page, but for some reason, the text remains squished right up to the photo. I’ve also tried other editors as well (tinyMCE 2.0 and joomla FCK), but the problem remains: in the editor view, there is the correct spacing, but it is not shown on the main page.

I have a similar issue – my text should display to the right of the image but goes below it. Its correct in preview but not on the site.

I eventually gave up trying to fix my problem. I was thinking that maybe it was related to the fact that my web hosting company did not have the latest version of joomla 1.5 installed. In any case, I installed a local copy of the JA mica template to work on my website and it now works fine.

I found the problem:

when you insert an image with the joomla text editors, it inserts the wrong class of image. JA mica expects the image to be of the class “caption”. For example, if you click on the “html” button in the text editor, you will see something like:

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="your_image_path.jpg" border="0" width="580" height="386" align="left" /></p>

at the top of the source. When I compare this to the JA Mica demo sample, I see that this should actually be:


<img class="caption" src="your_image_path.jpg" title="Sample image" align="left" />

I have to say that I am extremely dissapointed by the quality of the code provided by Joomlart. It seems that everytime I try to change something using the standard joomla tools (i.e. standard joomla editor), it breaks the template. Am I supposed to go through the code for each new article that I post and fix these problems? Don’t the Joomlart developers foresee these problems? It would of helped if there was some mention of these potential problems somewhere in the documentation for the template. Instead, I had to spend days trying to figure this out, and only succeeded after I completely wiped out my old site and re-installed the template and demo content. 😡
