Hallo,
Sie sollten dies unter „Layout“ sowohl für normale Menüs als auch für Hamburger-Menüs auswählen können. Ich habe jedoch festgestellt, dass es offenbar einen Fehler gibt und die Auswahl „Layout“ in Kombination mit dem Hamburger-Menü weder für Desktop-PCs noch für Tablets funktioniert. Auf Tablets ist „Layout“ überhaupt nicht verfügbar. „Horizontal“ funktioniert in keiner Anzeige; das Menü wird immer vertikal angezeigt.

Hello,
You should be able to select this under “Layout” for normal menus as well as hamburger menus. However, I have noticed that there seems to be a bug and the “Layout” selection does not work in combination with the hamburger menu, either for desktop or tablet. Layout is not even available on tablet. Horizontal does not work in any display; the menu is always displayed vertically.

Difference between new template and his preview

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 19:42:16 +0000

I created a new template for Joomla where everything works correctly, but when I preview there are some things, especially in the side menu that appear differently, both on Firefox and on Edge. I checked several times and everything is correct in the template, so why these differences? Furthermore, importing it into Joomla the result is even different..

Tell me if you need some picture..

Content background image not appearing in Joomla

Sat, 27 Jan 2024 14:17:21 +0000

I have updated to the latest version of Toaster and I find that Joomla templates created with the new version do not have the background image in articles that I produce in Joomla 5.02. When I look at the thumbnail of the template the background image is shown. The very same template converted to zip and uploaded in the previous version of toaster shows the background image behind the article text as it should. Is this a known issue that will be fixed?

The response from TemplateToaster support is as follows:

To apply background image of articles, please apply background image of post content on blog page, to achieve this, please follow the steps provided below -

Go to TemplateToaster -> blog page -> content -> post -> background -> select background image.

How do I add links to a slideshow?

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 14:08:47 +0000

How do I add a link to a particular slideshow slide?

I can't see how to do this.

I would like to be able to add a separate link (internal or external) to each slide.

I'm assuming this basic requirement is there but I'm missing it!

It's for a Joomla 5 site, if that makes any difference.

At a push I could add a button to each slide with a different link, but couldn't find how to do that either.

Disable hamburger menu on mobile site

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 08:00:49 +0000

Is it possible to disable the hamburger menu and show the regular menu on the mobile version? I've found the option in the 'tablet'-view but not the mobile one.

On this forum there is talk of a custom css code that can be used for this, but the code itself wasn't posted.

Answered: Add an Alt tag for the Logo

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 12:35:13 +0000

The location you are looking for is in the index.php file of your Joomla template, make a backup of your template's index.php for your safety.

Open your template's index.php file and look for the line with this command

<?php } ?>
<?php if ($this->params->get('enable_site_logo') && $logo_image_path != ''): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $logo_image_path; ?>" alt="" class="" />

Place the alt="" tag before the class="" insert your text and that's it, save it and you can upload it.

I hope I helped the community

Answered: TT vs. Joomla 5

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 08:17:37 +0000

They say that it does offer J5 support at https://templatetoaster.com/forum/8085/tt-vs-joomla-5 but I see no option to export for this in the TT I'm using (8.1.0.21053) and it isn't mentioned in the changelog for subsequent versions. Unless exporting for 4.x works in 5, which I haven't actually tried.

Chance of clarification from TT would be a fine thing...

Answered: Color Scheme on a new template

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 08:18:46 +0000

Die Dokumentation von TT ist sehr unvollständig und bedarf generell einer Überarbeitung. Die Farben "Primary", "Secondary", "Success", "Info", "Warning" und "Danger" signalisieren einen bestimmten Zustand. Können aber überall verwendet werden. Tabellen-Zellen können unterschiedlich eingefärbt werden oder Button können eine bestimmte Farbe damit erhalten. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten diese vorgefertigten Klassen einzusetzen.

-------------------------------

TT's documentation is very incomplete and generally needs to be revised. The colors "Primary", "Secondary", "Success", "Info", "Warning" and "Danger" indicate a certain status. However, they can be used everywhere. Table cells can be colored differently or buttons can be given a specific color. There are many ways to use these ready-made classes.

How do I remove one remaining metadata icon?

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:42:51 +0000

In my Joomla template I can't remove the calendar icon next to the date in the article metadata.

I have succeeded in removing all the others under Blog > Content > Metadata > Icon, yet the calendar one refuses to budge when I bring the template into Joomla 4, despite not appearing in TT, or when I preview the site in Firefox or Chrome.

How to apply blog menu style to whole site

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:02:27 +0000

I, probably foolishly, started styling the menu of a new site while in the 'Blog' bit of TT. When I went back to the 'Home' page I realised it doesn't ripple through - presumably in case you want a different style on different sections of your site. What's my best option now for creating a menu that will apply for all setions of my new site? Can I apply the 'Blog' menu styling to everything somehow? Or should I start on it again, perhaps on the Home page?

Answered: New template

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 07:39:18 +0000

1. We have checked your website URL, it seems you are using header foreground image to cover up full header, which needs to set for every responsive view i.e desktop, tablet as well as mobile view, so instead of foreground image you may use header background image which will be effortlessly responsive.

2.You have applied main menu module within footer below position, which seems to be bulleted list due to compressed area of less width of module position, either you may use "menu" position for menu module or also you may use a fullwidth module position.

3. Footer layout is having background color white same as main page that's why causes a display issue, it is displaying but unable to distinguish it, so you may please select a different background for clear visualisation of footer.

If still, you face any issue, please open a support ticket at https://templatetoaster.com/support/ and provide your TTR file, Our support team will guide you accordingly.

I would like to make the background of the template a little transparent to see the images of a backgroud slide show.

I already have :

- Body background to transparent

- Container background transparent

Joomla 4.3.1

Text in the header is not displayed after import in Joomla 4 - logo already

Wed, 10 May 2023 14:17:20 +0000

Hello,

sorry, but I seem not to see the forest for the trees :-(

I know the question has been asked here several times, but I can not understand the answer.

My problem:

So in Templatetoaster I create a header with background graphic, logo and text in a text field.

But after importing it into Joomla, only the background graphic and logo is displayed - not the text.

As a solution here in the forum the following is suggested:

1. import template into Joomla

2. click system

3. click on control panel

4.there click the import button

Clicking on the system on the left side is clear, but I find neither the control panel, nor an import button.

In which category (Settings, Install, Templates...) can I find the control panel? Can it be that these points are now called something else?

Please help me, I am going crazy here....

Thanks in advance for your effort.

Sidebar Menue

Sat, 15 Apr 2023 13:38:23 +0000

Hallo zusammen,

hoffentlich kann mir jemand von euch helfen.

Ich möchte ein Template erstellen und zwar mit einem Sidebar Menü, da ich ca 20 Menüpunkte habe.

Das ist in der Ansicht für Desktop und Tablett auch kein Problem. In der Mobilen Ansicht hätte ich aber gerne

ein Hamburgermenü. Das wird mir aber nicht angezeigt. Anscheinend kann ich das nur für die mobile Ansicht erhalten, wenn ich statt des Sidebar Menüs das "normale" Menü verwende. Durch die vielen Menüpunkte ist mir das aber nicht wirklich möglich.

Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich ein Sidebar Menü einstellen kann und trotzdem in der mobilen Ansicht das Hamburgermenü bekomme?

Ich bedanke mich schon einmal recht herzlich fürs lesen und noch mehr, falls jemand eine Lösung hat.

When pointing a menu item a component the style of com is corrupted.(css)

The menu items created in TT are working fine. When adding addtional menu items in joomla(4) CMS to featured articals or to other components like login the style is screwed up/different.

Using a standard template this works fine. Is there something I am missing?

see https://www.stemband.com/4/index.php were menu option1,2 and 3 are correct but fotobook and members are not.

Can I simply open older templates created with TemplateToster in the current version of TemplateToaster and save them again to make them suitable for joomla 4.x (only templates without content)?

Or is there another way to make 4-5 years old templates fit for joomla 4.x?

Or is there only a complete new creation of the templates left?

What is the proper way to edit Joomla! template in TT?

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 09:36:19 +0000

I'm a bit lost when it comes to creating templates for Joomla! in the latest TT8.1. I've noticed that some editing elements are not available in "BLOG" mode but only in the mode for creating specific subpages ("About Us" etc.). Some changes are visible only in this mode and do not show up in Blog. Sometimes changing something in BLOG is not included in the template after export.

Therefore, I have a question - what is a proper way to create templates for Joomla! Should I do it in page editing mode along with the need to import content, or can I somehow do it in BLOG mode, as it was in the old versions of TT?

Please advise how you do it so that the template in Joomla! has the features I set in TT (in Blog or in page editing).

Thanks
