    • Hi there,

      The problem with local server setups is that we have no idea of what else is installed/configured that may or may not be on a live server. This is why i do all my work on a live server. That way i know when something breaks long before I reach the time for testing before client viewing.

      I haven't tested the mywidth.php on Halcyon as I just don't have time at present. This is homegrown project started by Henning and I have joined in. It isn't a RocketTheme product perse.

      I will see if I can make time to test halcyon.

      Thanks for your patience 8)

    • Sorry to say that I don't have time too ... but if there is an issue in line 57 ... why don't you just uncomment it like
      // $bottom .= 'div#rt-bottom div.rt-container .rt-grid-'.($i + 1).' {width: '.$bottomwidths[$i].'px;}'."\n"; }


      I guess when David and I find some we can write a more stable version of this feature.
      I really just cobbled the code together. My 1.5 version looks a bit different from Davids 2.5.
      May be there is a problem somewhere..

    • Hello,

      Here is an update for J2.5. I've tested it on Joomla 2.5.3/4 with Ionosphere and Reflex. Special thanks go's out to Henning and David, without them this update would have never been possible.

      Release Notes:
      - Removes some template specific code found in earlier versions
      - Removes references to $bottom that caused issues in Joomla 2.5+

      If you need help with installation/configuration take a look at David's post:

      Download the attached zip file. Unzip it and then upload the file - mywidth.php - to your features directory in the template. For most people this will be via ftp to /public_html/your.domain/templates/rt_tachyon_j16/features

      Now open the /templates/rt_tachyon_j16/template-options.xml file and look for the code at line 117....
      <fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES">
          <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/>
          <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/>
          <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/>
          <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>
       
      ...and insert this code - <field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/> - so the file should now look like this...
      <fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES">
           <field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/>    
           <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/>
          <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/>
          <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/>
          <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>
       
      Please note that the default is set to 60px, which is the same setting as the current template.
      Upload the amended file to replace the original.

      Now go to Joomla admin and select the rt_tachyon_j16 template and go to template admin. In the features tab you should now have an option called mywidth and it should be displaying the 60 width.

      Just change the width to suit your needs and then apply. Remember that there are 12 columns so if you set the column width to 100 then you will deliver a screen width of 1200px.

      Hope this helps 8)

    • Thank you very much for this...
      Should those of us who used the earlier file version in J1.7 and upgraded successfully to J2.5 use it, or should we rather stay put? I've used this on Panacea previously..
      What are the fixes implemented?

      Would it be possible to see this being implemented at some time for 16-grid templates in J2.5?

      Thanks

    • Hi,

      I added some release notes that summarize the differences. You can also just look at the code and compair it to other versions.
