Stop Hyperion Style Template Rotation

  • Stop Hyperion Style Template Rotation

    Posted 16 years 9 months ago
    • Hi,

      Very new to Joomla and I've just installed the fantastic Hyperion template. I want to stop the styles rotating each time I click so I can concentrate on one style. Could you please tell me how I stop the rotation and which files I should then edit to change the look and feel.

      Can I specify which style I want to use as default?

      I don't want to delete the other styles as I may want to use a few different styles further down the line.

      Many thanks :)
      Stephen

    • Thankyou for your help.

      I've got this in the index.php file within the template

      $default_style = $this->params->get("defaultStyle", "style4");

      but when I refresh it still changes the style. Could you advise on where I'm going wrong please.

    • Hello, was there any solution to the style rotation? I have the same issue, I downloaded the Hyperion template. I checked the index.php located in the "/templates/rt_hyperion" directory and it was already set to stlye2. I checked in the "edit html" in the admin console and style2 was configured. However, whenever I refresh, it automatically changes style.

      Any solutions?

    • Im sorry, I figured it out. LOL! I got so excited with the template and configuration that all I needed to do was close out of my browser and clear my internt cache. Worked perfect.

      Thanks.

    • How do you stop the theme from preloading everything

      I have been trying to figure out how to disable the Hyperion template pre-loading all 12 themes on page load. This ads tremendous load time to the site. This is not an issue just to my site, it affects almost all of rocketthemes templates. If you test your site at tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ you will see that it loads hundreds of unused images and calls on items you simply don't need it to.

      Can anyone help with this, I like having the ability to change template styles but I do not need to have them changed on the fly. The added 15 seconds it takes to fully load the page is horrible and I doubt many people actually know that it is loading over 300 unneeded pictures, and scripts on a page load.

      Any help would be great!

    • It doesn't preload all the 12 themes, that is a fallacy.
