Hi. 🙂

I am testing Mitius (not responsive) with Joomla 3.0.3 here: http://www.elvesus.com/

How can I get rid of the white field under the slideshow on Home page?

I can almost get rid of this field with removing padding top an bottom to 0px; (a thin white stripe is left), but that affect the other pages (line 3448/3449 in template.css).

.ja-mainbody .container {
background: #000
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}

I also tried removing this line:

<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody-content-left') ?>

in “default.php” file located in the “tpls” folder in the template folder. This removes the field but affect the other pages.
But maybe I could do this if I make my own template, copy the original Mitius template folder, zip that and install it with a another name and change that?

Or is it a much simpler and better way to achive this?

You don’t need to change .ja-mainbody .container in php code of default.php file. You can clone default.php file and remove the script from the cloned file


<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody-content-left') ?>


and display cloned file at HOME page.

Hi again.

I did not get it right.:((

By clone, do you mean “Save as Copy” of the the “default” choise in the dropdown menu (to the right of “Position & Responsive Configuration”) in the Layout Tab in Template Manager?
I did so and a new php file (I called it “default-clone.php”) appeared in tpls folder in the Template folder and a new choice
“default-clone.php” appears in the dropdown menu.
In the new file “default-clone.php” I removed the line:

<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody-content-left') ?>

If this is the right way to clone, where do I display the cloned php file at Home page?
Should this cloned file name appear in the Home menu item under Template style? If so, it did not.

I fixed the problem of your site as follows

+ Add new file home_custom.php into: templates/ja_mitius/tpls/

+ Duplicate JA Mitus Default template

+ Rename Clone template to JA Mitius – Custom and appear it with home_custom

+ Assign it to Home

Please check it again, let me know if it helps

This works great and thanks a lot Ninja Lead! 🙂

For others that this can be helpfull, you removed this line from the new file home_custom.php into: templates/ja_mitius/tpls/:

<?php $this->loadBlock ('mainbody-content-left') ?>

(I now replaced bootsrap.css and template.css with my own for some adjustment as you can see).
