When I turn on “Section Blog” for a Main Menu item…the formatting does not recognize modules in the right margin and copy flies to the right as far as it can.

Case in point: http://www.fccps.org/j15c

Click on SCHOOLS in the Main Menu…this is set to a Section Blog format.

What am I overlooking? Or do we indeed have a code issue here?

Thanks,
John.

Hi john,

I’m sorry I do not know the solution to your issue, but I do have an unrelated question for you:

How did you change the opacity of the control buttons on the slideshow?

Here you go…you can adjust the opacity in the following line in:
ja.slideshow2.css (line 134)

.ja-slide-buttons span {
background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
float:left;
margin-right:1px;
opacity:0.4;
padding:2px 5px;
}

NOTE: The Opacity is not working in IE7…but I don’t mind. 🙂 MSoft will come around one day.

Have fun.
John.

So finally someones come to the same problem as me… I’ve been using Category as a solution because I can not find a way to get the Sections to layout properly. I tried to get an answer to that from JA but never got it… Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Because else we can not use Section layout… and that is a problem to make articles flow as they should

Yeah…this is a huge issue…as without the Section Blog working…one cannot include a composite of all “section/category” stories.

By being forced to use a Category Blog format for a Section we are limited to just one Section/Category.

Hmmm…

John.

I’ ve been looking at the section blog.php but can not find a solution… And JA does not answer to this one so Iam really stuck. I am using the template in my site http://www.fotodigital-online.com because I like it, but not having a section/category flow is terrible.

I’ve been waiting for a solution but you’re the first person to say that there is someting wrong with the template. For some time I thought it was me being stupid…

let’s hope JA cares to answer to this one because Opal is a great design

I got a message today that the developer is going to look at it soon! 🙂

The same automatic message I got, I guess. I just wonder what soon is.

Somehow this seems a strange thing, like some code missing somewhere, because it’s not the kind of thing that you see usually in Joomla. I usually test varuious templates, just for the fun of looking at them and trying to understand what one can do with diffrent layout options, and have come across lots of different little problems… but nothing like a whole section optiion missing.

BTW, you have some links in your site openning in the same window. Would it not be better to open them in a new one, so people keep the original open? Sorry, I don’t want to sound nosy, but Iam alwas curious to understand why people choose some options.

Hi jbrett,

I have tried to login to your ftp account but could not.
I saw this error:

Status: Connecting to 71.246.241.205:21…
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server

For your issue, please make sure that the images/resized is writable. I checked your website and current this folder is not writable (chmod=777)

Hi, What about my issue:

I also have a problem, If in a category i have a picture that is horizontal everything works out good, the text is on the side and the picture is in proportional scale. However, if the picture is vertical then the text is under the picture and the actual picture is unproportionality scale.
Look at attached picture.

Hi odpearl,

Current you are cropping this image.
To solve this issue, please open templates/ja_opal/ja_templatetools_1.5.php file, at about line 414, find following code:

[PHP]$image1 = JA_Tools::processImage ( $params[‘src’], $width, $height )
[/PHP]
and change to:

[PHP]$image1 = JA_Tools::processImage ( $params[‘src’], $width, $height , 0)[/PHP]

Ok. This one is solved

One more please :

I have noticed that on JA OPAL the font goes a bit yucky when opacity is used in the slideshow.
only in Mozila work fine in IE

I notice the same thing happens on the template demo.

However on the JA Sanidine II it is much more clear.

is there any way to stop this happening?

Thanks.

Hi not working

I’ve everything on 777 and still does not work. It seems as if there is a problem with the Section formatting. Iam sending you two pictures that show exactly the problem (as JBrett did) and how it looks under Category. Look that even the title of the Section is not following the template layout, so there must be a problem with the code there.

I’ve filled a ticket and got an answer that the answer was here, but it surely is not. And please, if people have other questions, do use a new thread because this is already confusing so having someone ask something else does not help.

I am sending the images so you can check. I am also answering my technical ticket with the same information. This is not working JA
