Hi Friends!
First of all - RocketTheme is amazing and your Grunge Template is reallly great!
I work on the Website web.street-magazine.de/ and have some newbie questions - I hope you can help me:
- When I use the floatleft possibility, the thumbnail-pictures in my Articles looks a bit "pressed". Is it possible to strech the Thumb-Pics a little bit - so that I have the right format?
- The Publishing Date of Articles, which is written on a piece of paper works well on my first page... but why not on my further menu-points (like the menu point "news"..)?
- My Foot-Menu is vertical in the foot-a position?! - Why not Horizontal like a normal menu? I configurated the Gantry Framework-but it doesn't fit?
- When I use the floatright-option for Pictures in my Articles, It doesn't work!? It looks like a normal Picture without your nice Taped-Frame. - Why?
- Where can I translate the Date?
- Where can I translate the Read More Button?
- Where can i translate the Search Button?
Before I posted my Questions, I searched it in this Forum... but only some confusing "search-translation-manuals" I could found it anywhere.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards from rainy germany

Hi there again!
Additionally to my further Questions: How can I integrate a PHPBB3 Forum in my Grunge design?
I mean, when I click on Forum in my Menu, I see a nice Forum like here on Rockettheme which is integrated - Do you have an Idea? (RockBridge is installed an works fine).
Thank you so much!
Best regards

Hi Andreas,
I've used Grunge on my site and have some tips for you:
- When I use the floatleft possibility, the thumbnail-pictures in my Articles looks a bit "pressed". Is it possible to strech the Thumb-Pics a little bit - so that I have the right format?
Using Firebug, you'll notice that the floatleft class will resize your images. Go to your template.css and modify the width and height in the floatleft class. WARNING: If you're following the directions for copying the demo frontpage, you'll have to create a new background image to the new size you set and play with the padding settings and background position. Kind of troublesome...
- The Publishing Date of Articles, which is written on a piece of paper works well on my first page... but why not on my further menu-points (like the menu point "news"..)?
This paper image is specific to the .contentdate class and is found in your HTML template override files for frontpage. You could add the class to others, but you'll need to change a lot of other things. I recommend just making the other page you mentioned a "frontpage" instead of a blog. Much easier solution.
- My Foot-Menu is vertical in the foot-a position?! - Why not Horizontal like a normal menu? I configurated the Gantry Framework-but it doesn't fit?
I don't see this horizontal menu in the demo, but check to see what your template footer position is set to. Locking it to one position will make it longer and will allow menus to appear horizontally depending on how you set up your module.
- When I use the floatright-option for Pictures in my Articles, It doesn't work!? It looks like a normal Picture without your nice Taped-Frame. - Why?
You'll have to create a floatright class yourself. Copy the floatleft class in template.css and paste it below this class, then change the "float:left;" to "float:right;". This works, but then your picture will be right next to your paper date image. I personally don't recommend it.
- Where can I translate the Date?
You shouldn't need to if you have Joomfish installed.
- Where can I translate the Read More Button?Great question! In the "frontpage" HTML overrides, the RT team hardcoded "Read more..." or whatever in the frontpage articles. You'll need to open templates/rt_grunge_j15/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php and change the code at the bottom to look like this:<?php if ($this->item->params->get('show_readmore') && $this->item->readmore) : ?> <div class="readon"> <a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>" <?php echo $this->item->params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>> <span> <?php if ($this->item->readmore_register) : echo JText::_('Register to read more...'); elseif ($readmore = $this->item->params->get('readmore')) : echo $readmore; else : echo JText::_('READMORE'); endif; ?></span></a></div> <?php endif; ?>- Where can i translate the Search Button?
I use Jxtended Finder and I had to find the JText for the search button inside the php code and then find it it the language .ini files. I would start in the template overrides for the search module and look for similar code above. Make sure you use the following code wherever you see "Read something" hardcoded in your template:echo JText::_('READMORE');
And finally for the phpBB3 template, I'm not sure that it's out yet. Yes, there is a way to template your forum by copying the page source code into your phpBB3 theme, but I can't teach that to you here. Seriously, wait for the RT team to publish it.
Hoped this helped you a bit!
