SOLVED Please help me find a certain file

  • SOLVED Please help me find a certain file

    Posted 10 years 4 months ago
    • I have recently migrated from 2.5.28 to 3.3.6. I am using the newest Gantry Framework.

      I have the following problem on the site after the migration:
      on my home page the post content starts at the wrong place, right after the date and visitor count.
      With DanG's help we figured out, that something is missing from this page's coding:
      <div class="clear"> </div>
      .
      I've been getting help about this on the joomla.org forum, where they pointed me to a blog.php file. I had to add clearfix to the code. (Forum conversation: forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=710&t=8...1&p=3249720#p3249720 ).

      I tried it, but didn't work. Their suggestion then was to look into the templates coding in case there is an override. Where would I find the blog.php file in the Gantry? At least I think I need that one, because the original path they gave me led to one that refers back to Gantry.

      Thanks,
      Gizella

    • Which template?

      Could you please post a URL to your site (this can be done in the secure area tab if you prefer) so we can look for you. Without a link to page where the problem is on your site it is quite hard for us to provide the best solution due to so many variables. We try to provide file names and line numbers for code changes and if changes have already been made then our advice may be incorrect.

      where can I see that original issue?

      Regards, Mark.

    • I'm sorry Mark, for not including the link. I've started a few forum conversations, all with links, but I forgot to include it here.

      The (test) site is www.designbygizella.com

      You will see the problem on that page (home page, featured articles). If you open an article, the problem disappears.

    • There's no need to change any override.

      Use this code...
      .component-content .rt-articleinfo-text {
          float: none ;
      }

      This is how to create a custom CSS compatible with Gantry 4...

      Simply create a file called "<TEMPLATENAME>-custom.css" and put this file in the CSS folder of the template (where <TEMPLATENAME> is the name of the template as seen in template manager e.g. rt_fracture). GANTRY4 will automatically load this CSS file. If you wish, you can also have browser specific files by appending, for example, "-ie9" making the filename "<TEMPLATENAME>-custom-ie9.css"

    • Thank you Mark, that worked. Could you possibly tell me how I could move the post content a bit lower from the white line? 15px maybe?

    • Change it to:
      .component-content .rt-articleinfo-text {
          float: none;
          margin-bottom: 15px;
      }
      Learn to use either, Firebug in Firefox, or Chrome Developer Tools in Chrome, they will save you hours on things like this and they're very easy to use.

    • I try to use Firebug, and many times I can figure out what to do. Sometimes I cannot.

      Thanks for your help.

    • Ok, no problem, we can help, but always have a go first and tell us what you tried out. It really is worth investing the time in learning to use firebug, it's a greal tool and will really save you hours.
