Hi,

I'm using the Skylar template for my website PIRRIDM.

All of my titles are being converted to upper-case, which is driving me slowly bananas :D

What I would like is to be able to change the titles to small-caps and make them smaller. There seem to be a number of specific circumstances where titles change, such as the title of an article when I have a menu item that uses Category Blog articles.

Thanks,
Flavelle

Hi Flavelle

To amend try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters (Extensions -> Templates -> [YourTemplateStyle] -> Custom CSS)....

h2, .content-category h1, .registration h1 {
text-transform: none;
}

That fixed some of them, but in the Recent Articles, which uses the Joomla51 News module, the titles are still fully upper case (screenshot attached). Capture.PNG

First of all, thanks - that code worked. My Custom CSS is getting larger :D

Recent Articles (Components).JPG

In this screenshot, you can see that the second row of articles starts in the middle. How do I get that second row to start on the left?

And finally (I hope), is there a way to change the format of the date for the articles (and everything else) to be Aug-02-2020? In other words an Mmm-dd-yyyy format.

Please keep up the good work. Your templates are making this so much easier to work with Joomla.

Hi Flavelle

1. Would you have a URL to an example of your screenshot?

2. You will need to create an override for your blog. If you are not familiar with Joomla overrides, may I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will create the override for you. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

I'm making good progress. I am using h3 for titles within my articles - wonderful. How do I make .h4 to be small caps as well? I have discovered that if I use .h3 and .h4 formats within the individual articles, that seems to work well within my site.

This is my current Custom CSS:
h2, .content-category .content-heading h1, .registration h1 {
text-transform: none;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
.item-title, .page-header, h3 {
text-transform: none !important;
font-variant: small-caps;
}

To amend try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters (Extensions -> Templates -> [YourTemplateStyle] -> Custom CSS)....

h4 {
text-transform: initial;
font-variant: small-caps;
}

Thanks so much. The only change that I made to your suggestion was to change the text-transform to none, which is consistent with my other headers. I do hope that you are keeping safe and well.

Thanks to your help, my website is nearly perfect - the link is attached. I have two remaining questions:


  1. The menu items are still showing in all caps and I have not been able to figure out how to make them small-caps. I would really appreciate your help. Other than that, the website is looking nearly perfect.
  2. I have to maintain three copies of the template - one for default, the second for English (Canada) and the third for French. I think that there might be a more efficient way. You provide a note that, "Note: If you find you have a large amount of Custom CSS in the field above, you can copy it's contents to your templates custom.css (../templates/[YourTemplate]/css/custom.css) with the same effect. Ensure to first enable the custom.css option below." I am assuming that if there are updates, the custom.css file will not be replaced.


My current custom CSS looks as follows:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, h3.mod_standard, h3.page-header {
text-transform: none;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
table {
width: 100%;
border-color: #536982;
border-style: solid;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
th {
padding: 1em;
test-transform: none;
border-color: #536982;
border-style: solid;
font-variant: small-caps;
color: #536982;
vertical-align: bottom;
text-align: left;
}
td {
padding: 1em;
vertical-align: top;
border-color: #536982;
border-style: solid;
text-align: left;
}

Hi Flavelle

All good on this end. I hope you are also keeping safe.

1. To amend try adding the following to the end of your Custom CSS field...

.hornav > ul > li > a {
text-transform: inherit;
}


2. The same custom.css file will be loaded by all template styles (if enabled) so it is a good place for CSS that is shared throughout your site. This file is not replaced if your template is updated. Regardless always good practice to make a backup when updating.
