I have a T3 template installed on my site. I'm using two sub version of the template for specific menu items. So in the backend I have three template styles.

What I would like to do is add a template specific class to either the <html> or <body> tag so I can assign CSS to those specific pages displaying the template.

I would rather do it this way than add a page class to every menu item.

Can this be done via php in the tpls files?

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee Tempest,

Like to see you again. There are 2 ways to do this.

Way 1:

1. Create style file (.less file) in the less folder that you want to load to the menu items you want (for example: blog.less)
2. Open the layout file that the menu items you want to load the css file and add the following code:

<head>

	<?php $this->addCss('layouts/blog') ?>

</head>


Way 2:

1. Create style file (.less file) in the folder: templates\t3_bs3_blank\less\extras
2. Open any t3 bs3 blank template style, in the "Add-ons" tab, you will the section: Template Extended styles, you can assign the pages that will load the custom style from the .less file you created in step 1.

Regards.

Gardner Luna,
Thanks for the replies, I actually discovered another solution by accident. Each on of the templates uses a different template style, so there are three different files in my tpls folder, by simply adding the class to the body tag I have achieved the same solution!

Thanks for the advice. I'm now trying to solve the issue of the sidebar menus on my site to function without a drodpown, I just want them to display as a simple list once the initial parent page has been clicked and is being viewed. How can I achieve this?

It is quite complicated as it will require customization. The style comes from Joomla 3 default. In Joomla 2.5, its working fine as I remember.

Gardner,
Its actually not that difficult!

By creating a template over ride for mod_menu default.php and then modifying line 82:

// The next item is deeper.

		if ($item->deeper) {

			echo '<ul class="dropdown menu">';

		}


to:

// The next item is deeper.

		if ($item->deeper) {

			echo '<ul class="sidebardropdownmenu">';

		}


This now correctly displays the sub menus and removes the dropdown effect.
