    HELP! Ionosphere: sidebar position doesn't work

    Posted 12 years 11 months ago
    • Hey rocketeers!
      I am busting my head about this! Please help.

      I am working on a page based on the ionosphere template. Suddenly everything I have on the sidebar appears under the main body! I just can't seem to get it back to the sidebar and I don't see what's wrong....

      url: mstdesign.mike-semisch-tours.de

      Please! I have to get this thing working!


      Thank you
      David

    • Hello soloudmedia,

      What was the last thing you are working on? It appears that the main body of the site is too wide. Try opening the template manager, clicking on the layout tab, and shrinking the main body section relative to the sidebars. In other words, move the slide bar to the left.

      Let me know how it goes.

    • Hello Ben, thank you for helping!

      I moved the slider all the way to left. What happened is, that now everything from the bottom jumped up on the sidebar position, while the sidebar modules still sit under the mainbody...it lokks like the positions somehow got mixed up....that possible?

      I tried reinstaling gantry and the template, but to no effect....

    • At first I thought it was a styling issue, but then I realized the sidebar <div> is inside the main body <div> on your site like this:
      <div class="rt-container">
         <div class="rt-grid-8">
            <div class="rt-grid-4 sidebar-right">...</div>
         </div>
      </div>
      It should look like this:
      <div class="rt-container">
         <div class="rt-grid-8">...</div>
         <div class="rt-grid-4 sidebar-right">...</div>
      </div>
      I downloaded the latest version of the ionosphere template and it had the correct structure. Try downloading it again from here: www.rockettheme.com/joomla-downloads/club/2816-ionosphere

      That should fix the problem.

    • I did as you suggested, but the problem's still the same.
      I actually used the same template on a similar website for the same client an just copy/pasted it. Maybe that's when the code got messed up, even though I'm confident it worked perfect at first.
      Is it possible to fix the code, or will I have to do it all over again?

    • You are going to have to install the template over again or replace some existing file on your site with those from the download.

      Try this, find these files in the template download:

      /templates/rt_ionosphere/index.php
      /templates/rt_ionosphere/html/layouts/mod_sidebar.php /templates/rt_ionosphere/html/layouts/body_mainbody.php

      and replace the same files on your site with them.

    • Hello Ben,
      Thank you so much for your help!
      Unfortunately, replacing the php files didn't do the trick either...

      Is it possible I somehow managed to put in a template override somewhere on the page...?!?
