jc_start: module duplication 2 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi,

I am using jc_start and I tried to map the newsflash module left to the slideshow, which is the "top" module position, and apparently any module placed to the "top" position gets duplicated immediately underneath.

Is this a bug or a feature? And can it be avoided somehow? To me it looks a bit unconvenient that space is wasted to duplicate two modules in close proximity...

can this be avoided somehow?

Thanks in advance for support.

Regards,

Miroslav

Hey Miroslav,

It's more of a feature than a bug - but you can easily change it within the index.php file of the template.

Lines 64 and 74 are where the "top" module is called. If you change either one of these to be a different module position then this should solve your issue.

Let me know if this makes sense,

Ed

Hi.

I modified the template accordingly, and this freed another space for me... IMHO this is better as the user has control over what is placed below the "top" module - he can follow the default duplicated module or fit something else there. The suggested mod works for me.

I have an additional question, regarding copyright. Currently, the footer contains the mis-spelled copyright notice: "Copyright © 2009. Joomlacreatve.com.". However I have a demand to place the company copyright to the same place.

Not willing to rob you of the template credit, would this be an appropriate Copyright string?

"Copyright © 2009. Company, Template design and © 2009 Joomlacreative.com"

Please advise on how should I properly handle your copyright notice.

Thanks in advance and warm regards,
Miroslav

Hey Miroslav,

Upon reflection, you are right - we'll change this accordingly in the next version of the template.

Thanks for flagging the typo aswell..

As this is a commercial template which you have purchased you are free to remove the JoomlaCreative.com copyright notice completely is you wish to do so.

Hi, thanks for your previous reply.

However, I have more bug reports - I tried using multi-level bulleted lists (<ul>s) in my article and I observed that the font size is getting larger for each level of the list. I guess this is a bug - one caused by improper handling of font-size inheritance in CSS.

nb I fixed the bug by modifying the template.css:
I added:
Code:

li li { font-size: 1.0em; } #leftcol ul li { font-size: 1.1em; }
The first block corrects the size in the nested list within the article. The second one apparently fixes the font-size decrease which happens in the main menu on the left side. I am not sure if this is an overall solution to font-size problems but this works for me. Is it possible to get verification on this fix? Thanks in advance, Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,

Thanks for your continued feedback and valuable input on jc_start.

Your fix looks good. I'll have a look myself as soon as I get a chance. If you've got an example live on a web server I'd be happy to take a look aswell from this end.
