hi,

yes i loaded the block: mainbody-copy.

how can i remove a sidebar-2?

when in firebug i see this path: less.boostrap.less , i can find this file or in t3-assets folder or in plugin folder. is this correct or i don't understand something?

and i can't login with any other computers, just with this. all the other give me an error for maintenance. is your website still in mantenance?

i know it's boring for you, but these things i really can't understand.

Hi again,

Did you load the block: mainbody-copy in the layout you used?

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but i have just one question.

how can i override a css file as: style.css (in firebug)?

i tried to add new less files in: template/my_template/less/new-less, but nothing changed or modified.

need just add a file less in a folder or need to do something other?

i forget :


// positions configuration
$sidebar1 = 'sidebar-1';
$sidebar2 = 'sidebar-2';

$sidebar1 = $this->countModules($sidebar1) ? $sidebar1 : false;
$sidebar2 = $this->countModules($sidebar2) ? $sidebar2 : false;

// detect layout
if ($sidebar1 && $sidebar2) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/two-sidebar', array('sidebar1' => $sidebar1, 'sidebar2' => $sidebar2));
} elseif ($sidebar1) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/one-sidebar-left', array('sidebar' => $sidebar1));
} elseif ($sidebar2) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/one-sidebar-right', array('sidebar' => $sidebar2));
} else {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/no-sidebar');
}


i changed this line:

$this->loadBlock('mainbody/two-sidebar', array('sidebar1' => $sidebar1, 'sidebar2' => $sidebar2));

to this

$this->loadBlock('mainbody/myone-sidebar', array('sidebar1' => $sidebar1, 'sidebar2' => $sidebar2));

i copied mainbody.php and renemed it in mainbody-copy.php

into this file i write this code:


<?php
/**
* @package T3 Blank
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2012 Open Source Matters, Inc. All rights reserved.
* @license GNU General Public License version 2 or later; see LICENSE.txt
*/

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>

<?php

/**
* Mainbody 3 columns, content in center: sidebar1 - content - sidebar2
*/

// positions configuration
$sidebar1 = 'sidebar-1';
$sidebar2 = 'sidebar-2';

$sidebar1 = $this->countModules($sidebar1) ? $sidebar1 : false;
$sidebar2 = $this->countModules($sidebar2) ? $sidebar2 : false;

// detect layout
if ($sidebar1 && $sidebar2) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/two-sidebar', array('sidebar1' => $sidebar1, 'sidebar2' => $sidebar2));
} elseif ($sidebar1) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/one-sidebar-left', array('sidebar' => $sidebar1));
} elseif ($sidebar2) {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/one-sidebar-right', array('sidebar' => $sidebar2));
} else {
$this->loadBlock('mainbody/no-sidebar');
}






after in blocks/mainbody/ i created: myone-sidebar.php

and into i write this:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p($vars['sidebar']) ?>" style="T3Xhtml" />
</div>
<!-- //SIDEBAR LEFT -->

</div>
</div>



after i added new module position in the same file:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('slideshow') ?>" />

i created a position in template details.xml

and i assigned my module to slideshow position, all pages, published.



now sidebar-2 is not showing, and is ok, i have just sidebar-1 and content for all with and it's ok, but i can't see my modele slideshow, it's empty.

is correct what i did? and how can i do to show my module in slideshow position?


thank you very much

hi,

i was able to add module position in the mainbody block, but i can't to do this thing.
i'm so sorry but really i can't understand, i watched your videos, i read all your documentations, but i can't to do this:
i would have sidebar-1 on the left side, and content (with my new position). i understand how add new position, but i can't use one sidebar-1 and a content without sidebar 2.
or have two sidebars, or one sidebar with mastcol. i want sidebar-1 and content for example: sidebar-1 col-sm-4 content col-sm-8.
when i think to do that my sidebar is empty and writting auto and i can't assign no one module position.

and i can't login with any other computers, just with this. al the other give me an error for maintenance. is the web site in mantenance yet?

thank you very very much

Hi Andre,

- To customize template, you can follow the workflow in the video tutorial: http://www.joomlart.com/video-tutorials/t3-framework/customize-template
- If you want to display slideshow in main content, you can add module position in the mainbody block, you can check out more details at: http://www.t3-framework.org/documentation/bs3-layout-system#add-position

Regards.

Hi Gardner,

I was wrong in explaining my problem.
i'm customizing t3_bs3_blank, but some times i explore files with firebug and i see this path: less.boostrap.less and other paths like this.
i find that file only in t3-assets folder or in plugin folder.
most of the time i find that in plugin folder, so my question is, do i need to customize plugin folder, or should i add some less files to costumize entire site?

the last question is, i would have on my home page a sidebar left and mainbody has a slideshow but, i assigned login and hikashop cart to the sidebar-1 but i can't understand where to assign ja-slideshow-lite because mainbody doesn't have any position.

how can i do these last two things.

another example, i would change every button layout, how can i delete every files about btn etc... and overate them in just one less file? have i create a new less file? or can i delete an entire less file already exist?

i'm really greatiful for your time.

André

Hi again,

The template is built with LESS, how can it work without LESS . Please keep the same structure and customize style your way, that's the best way to create new template based on T3.

Regards.

Hi,

i stinl can't login.

but, if i keep the same structure, i have always t3_bs3_blank with some css and less definited.
i would have a new t3_bs3_blank template without css, and with all less files empty.

it's possible or with t3_bs3_blank template is impossibile to do?

thank you

Yeah, we are maintaining our website but its done already.

To create new template based on T3 Blank template, please make sure you keep the same structure, do not delete any file. In the templatedetails.xml, you can change the template name, info, etc.
The next step is customizing template layout, style as you expect. It could be a little complex.

Gardner.

I'm sorry, but unfortunately i have some problem with login in your web site: http://www.t3-framework.org .
when i try to login a page is writing: website maintenance.
But some times like now i can login.
is your website in maintenance or have just me this problem?

Thank you

hi,
yes i want to create new template based on t3_bs3_blank and i can't understand how can i do that.

if not exist, how can i delete all files and re.created the based template?

thank you

You can add new style file but should not delete them as the files could have conjunction.
You want to create new template based on t3_bs3_blank?

hi,
thank you for the answeare and for the link.


Thanks to you, I understand and I'm using this framework very well.
Now I'm trying to create the t3_bs3_blank base, without css, less, and whatever files, so i could insert that file one at a time.
but i can't understand which file i can delete and wich not, because if i delete for example less file, front reports an errors.
How can i re-created a t3_bs3_blank folder?
i studied php and now is the first time that i tring to do that.

Thank you very much in advance

Hi,
thankyou very very much, i understand and iìm using t3 very well now.
I saw joomla art's templates, and i found JA Smashboard i think it is amazing, so i would build my web site like that verttical menu on the side but i can't.

is position problem or they used a external menu for to do that?

i don't know if i can write here the link about joomla art's page, so i write and i hope it will be good for you

the link is this: http://www.joomlart.com/demo/#ja_smashboard


thank you very much

If you want to use it for all theme, you have to add to the variables.less file in the template folder, not in the theme folder (templates/t3_bas3_blank/variables.less)
