This template is going to give me a nervous breakdown. Here are the problems I am encountering at:
http://pro-websites-2-go.com/QuickGlo/

1) I change the color theme to green and the first page and last page stay blue. The remainder are green.

2) In a previous help question I was told to edit the “html code” to take out the padding on the left. Well, the only “html code” file I know about is the index.php. But, when I look at index.php, here’s what is in it:

<?php
if (class_exists(‘T3Template’)) {
$tmpl = T3Template::getInstance($this);
$tmpl->render();
return;
} else {
//Need to install or enable JAT3 Plugin
echo JText::_(‘Missing jat3 framework plugin’);
}

The template seems to work fine, except for the above two problems, but I have no idea what is driving it. All other templates I use have the main code in the index.php file. Where is it in Social?

And, finally, all my other templates have a way of editing the CSS and HTML from the template through the Template Manager. This is nowhere to be found in Social (at least I can’t find it)

HELP!:((

Hi Katiebegood,

1. Did you tried to clean your cache etc? I visited your website and everything is in blue not just the first and last page.
2. It seems you may have some styling in your article. When you take a look to your other articles, they all seem to be fine.
Try one thing (save your text from your fist page first!):
Switch off your editor, go to article “applications” and copy the whole code from there. Now go to your first page and replace the code with the one from “applications”. Save it and try it again. If this should work, you know that there is some div or something else in your previous code.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Nick

I fixed the color theme. But I’m still trying to find out where they hide the code for the site. It’s not in the index.php file. I’m thinking it’s hiding somewhere in the T3 setup. I know how to fix the front page if I can just find where they are hiding the code.

I also would like to know where I can edit the html code and CSS through the template manager like with other templates. I’m liking T3, but I also think that there needs to be a better tutorial on how to configure a T3 based template.

Ok, I fixed #2 by finding that this is now controlled in template.css at:

.fp-article-content {
padding-left: 145px;
}

I changed the 145 to 0 and the text is now aligned properly. I wonder why they even put that in the .css. It makes no sense not to left align the front page text. Oh well.

Now, if I could only figure out how to make quick changes to template.css through the template manager and if I could find what they have done with the index.php code, I would be a happy camper.

Dear katiebegood,

The social is a T3 Template and you would see the index.php file under the template folder is different from the file on other templates,if you want to manage your template layout you can do that via the template back-end,go to your tempalte back-end >> Layout tabs,here just go to edit your actived layout.
