I purchased JA_Ruby over a year ago and did a lot of Joomla work with this template, but the project was not launched. We are now ready to launch it and still wish to use JA_Ruby, but one problem, relatively small, on the home page prevents us from launching.

The problem is that in IE8 one paragraph of text in the home page content area is rendering too far to the left. Everything else seems OK. We don’t know how to fix this as it works in other browsers just fine.

At the moment our JoomlArt membership has ended. We are happy to renew membership to solve this problem but please note — a lot of template CSS has been adjusted and tuned by us and we don’t want to have to do all this work again. So we need to know the following:

1- Is there an updated template for JA_Ruby that fixes the problem? What’s the fastest way to protect all our CSS work if we used the updated template?

2- Would it be simpler if you just applied the fix for us to our existing JA_Ruby installation? What would you charge for this?

Thanks, look forward to hearing back ASAP.

-Bruce

Hello Bruce!

Please let me know the link to your site, i would like to have a closer look on the issue to make sure whether it has been fixed and updated to the download yet. If not, we will get it updated in next version.

At the moment, the template is stable with version 1.0.1 , please see the change logs in here: http://pm.joomlart.com/browse/JATCRUBY

<blockquote>What’s the fastest way to protect all our CSS work if we used the updated template?</blockquote>

When you upgrade a new version for the template, please read the change logs carefully and use comparing tools from joomlart site: http://update.joomlart.com/#compare/JATCRUBY/1.0.1/1.0.0 for inspecting which files were changed, newly added. After that, you get those files upgraded for your site.

With css file, at first, you get all files in the css folder of latest version, then you try to install and use comparing tool ( i ussually use this tool http://www.scootersoftware.com/ ) to compare code between latest files and your current files. If there is a few small changes of codes in the lastest files, you can just move those changes to your files, or you move all your customization to the latest files.

Hi, and thanks for getting back to me on this.

The website is http://www.qwerius.co.uk/

The affected paragraph is the orange text in the main content area: “Qwerius is a…”

In Safari and FF it all looks as it should but in IE8 it refuses to centralise and the text area is needlessly expanded too large. I don’t know yet how it looks in IE7.

I also don’t know whether this problem is related to another one, which is that my site logs show 404 errors of the following files:

templates/ja_ruby/css/colors/default-ie.php
templates/ja_ruby/css/colors/default-ie6.php
templates/ja_ruby/css/ie6.php

I had a look at your change logs and could not tell whether these problems relate to what we’re discussing here.

I look forward to your response. We’re really stuck here!
Thanks.

Hi, please try the below solution

You open the file: templates/ja_ruby/index.php and find the following code:

<!–>
<style type=”text/css”>
.clearfix {display: inline-block;}
</style>
<!–>

replace with:

<!–>
<style type=”text/css”>
.clearfix {display: inline-block;}
</style>
<!–>

and find codes:
[PHP]
<link href=”<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/colors/<?php echo strtolower ($tmpTools->getParam(JA_TOOL_COLOR)); ?>-ie.php” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
[/PHP]
replace with:
[PHP]
<?php if( strtolower ($tmpTools->getParam(JA_TOOL_COLOR)) != ‘default’ ) : ?>
<link href=”<?php echo $tmpTools->templateurl(); ?>/css/colors/<?php echo strtolower ($tmpTools->getParam(JA_TOOL_COLOR)); ?>-ie.php” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]

Let me know the results after applying this solution and do hope to see you back to JA club soon. 🙂

Wow, this totally fixed the problem with IE8! I will check with IE7 when I can.

This is totally amazing service and I’m delighted. Of course I’ll be back as a customer!

Thank you! 😀
