    I have made a mistake that I can’t figure out how to fix.
    Somehow, position 2 grew to be half of the screen. This may have happened when I was fussing with the Template layout.
    When I inspect with firebug, the box size of Search the Catalog, used to be 265 x 136 and now it is 560 x 136.
    And everything else in position 2 is too wide.
    Since I don’t know where to fix this — could you direct me.

    Also, another problem, Slideshow Lite has lost it’s navigation arrows and no longer goes to its linked page. This was working fine before. Now it’s not.

    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Hey Nancy . . . Do you remember what you were “fussing with” within the your template layout when this occurred?

    I was fussing with the ja_bookshop – default template layout in Template Manager.
    I was adding a Movie Night slideshow to the bottom left corner (eventually used side-bar 1) but went to the layout and clicked on Position 3. Another oops was that I saved it instead of Save As something different. Then I changed it back to 2 & saved. But all did not return to original.

    I am back to normal in regards to Position 2.
    Just reinstalled just the Template — made 2 little changes to the menu and now this looks good.

    I still have the issue with Slideshow Lite — the navigation arrows disappeared, and clicking on the slide does not go to the link as it did before today. And yes, I checked and the links are still there.

    Do you have any URL to site you’re working on so that I can have a look?

    Main Menu — I have tried to set up the sub-menu items for Kids and Research– but they are not showing up. What am I missing?

    Logo/Menu — with resolution 1280 x 1024 in Firefox the logo/menu looks OK. With resolution 1024 x 768 – Firefox the logo last letter Y is covered up. Could it be fixed that the Y shows, and the menu space is covered up?

    Slideshow Lite — Welcome message image is 850 x 200px and the settings in slideshow lite is Main item width – 850, Main item height – 200 — so why the extra space below the slide?
    I can also set it to the Main Item width and height to auto, and it makes no difference. The extra space at the bottom is not too bad in 1280 x 1024, but as the screen gets smaller, the slideshow height increases to where it is not acceptable. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    If you’ve created sub-menu items for Kids and Research menus in ‘Menu manager’ section, please go to template manager and check settings of these menus in ‘Megamenu’ settings.

    For the logo, you can create a new css file called custom.css in this path: /templates/ja_bookshop/css and add this css rule:


    /* iPad in landscape----------- */ @media only screen
    and (min-device-width : 768px)
    and (max-device-width : 1024px)
    and (orientation : landscape) {
    .logo-image {
    margin: 5px 23px 5px 20px;
    }
    }

    Regarding the slideshow, could you send me screenshot to illustrate how you want to achieve?

    I have a custom.css now and the Logo is fixed.

    The issue with the extra space under each slide is fixed I think. But it’s strange…
    If Development Mode is Off – there is too much space under each slide.
    If Development Mode is On— it looks right to me. So I guess it stays on.
    However, as I make the screen smaller (to check responsiveness), each slide get smaller, but grows deeper – as you will see in the attachment.

    I still am not able to see the submenu for Kids or Research – see screenshot.
    Could you take a look?
    Thanks again,
    Nancy

    Hi Nancy,

    I’m so sorry for this lateness, when the ‘Development Mode’ is ON, your site will load LESS instead of CSS. If it works when enable this option, then when you switch it off, pls compile LESS to CSS first (Remember to backup all of your current CSS files first as when compiling less, all of them will be overwritten)

    For the submenu of ‘Kids’ or ‘Research’, do you have any 3rd party extensions installed in your site? as it may cause the conflict with the megamenu of this template.

    ” do you have any 3rd party extensions installed in your site?”

    I am using the module – Images Crawler for my rows of books. Clicking on a book will take you to the catalog listing for that book.

    I wanted to use JA_Content Slider for this, but finally gave up on it.
    Each book needs a link to the catalog and this would only link to its own image or article…. The article is at the end of the link.
    Example of the catalog links:
    http://www.morleylibrary.org:8080/#section=resource&resourceid=101937188&currentIndex=9

    I have a similar “practice bookshop site” on my computer. It uses Images Crawler and here the mega menu works as expected.

    I have added another menu item — so now it is displaying in a second row. I did this because now I can see part of the mega menu when I hover on “Kids”. Only part, it does not display very much of it.
    Maybe this is a clue – for someone to tell me what file I have messed up.

    I have discovered one of the reasons I am having so much trouble with this template. I am not getting the message “Successfully compile LESS to CSS” when I try to compile Less to CSS. The attachment is from my practice Bookshop template.
    I have reinstalled the template many times without this becoming fixed.
    So, I will start over and I might as well try a new template too.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Nancy

    @nzkimball

    Hi Nancy, you might want to switch the Development Mode to on before compiling less to css.

    and for your first issue, can you provide us your website credentials, so that our moderator can have a look into yours.

    warmest regards,
