Hello Ciaran,

1) Do you use your own templates for your website? HA.. I know you do..

2) Awhile back a Kunena developer assisted me with installing my forum for me. but now that I look my bbcode toolbar does not display nor my smileys.

3) I'm back customizing the site.. was able to get the background same as other pages. I saw an inquiring on their forum about BBcode Toolbar not displaying on Beez3 template. Well I submitted the same inquiry... one of the support personnel is asking me if I am using Beez3. I want to tell them I'm using Joomla51 but are they knowledgeable about it?

4) I installed Mootools extension (probably didn't need to but I did). I see you use it.. with Joomla51 template and since this is my primary go to templates.. can you give me some direction to get this to display?

Thank you very much.

April

Hi Niko

For our Virtuoso and Metropolis may I suggest removing the following from the head of your templates index.php...


JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true);


For the remaining templates it is a little trickier however do intend to update these templates shortly to a CSS3 menu as is the case in the above mentioned.

Hi,

there are several web sites (using templates Virtuoso, Pianoforte, Presence, Metropolis, Kindle) affected, so I hope you could me just give some rough direction that I could go for :)

Best regards,
Niko

Hi Niko

This would vary depending on your template. May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will examine this issue further. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

Good morning Ciarán,

do you think that you could offer some assistance to migrate the menu from Mootools to JQuery? I'm looking for ways to further reduce the initial load time. I think there are only few spots to change?

Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Niko

Hi Niko

My apologies. Yes you are correct. Only the mootools-core script is required for the animated dropdown menu. Presuming you are not using any 3rd party extension that does not require the extended mootools-more, your solution will work without issue.

Sorry, perhaps my question is a little bit confusing, so here I go again :)

I've played around with older templates (Presence, Pianoforte etc.) I'm using (they also use submenu items), so I need Mootools for these.

When I use (in these old templates)

JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true);
two mootools libs (mootools-core, mootools-more) with a overall size of more than 300 KB (80+231) is loaded.

When I change this line in to
JHtml::_('behavior.framework', false);
only mootools-core with a size of about 80 KB is loaded. mootools-more with a size of 231 KB is not loaded, but it seems to me that this library is not required as the submenus still seem to work.

Can you confirm that the mootools-more lib is not required or is it required in a particular scenario?

Thank you!
Best regards,
Niko

HI Niko

Yes. The templates listed below use CSS3 for the dropdown menu. Older templates use Mootools for the animated effect.

Hi Ciarán,

thanks for the clarification. I've just played a little bit, do I get that right that the anmiated menus do not require mootools-more, so that I can at least safely change

JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true);

to

JHtml::_('behavior.framework', false);

?
This saves 231 KB.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Niko

Hi Niko

Sure... following are a list of all templates not dependant of Mootools...

J51 - Vitality
J51 - Enterprise
J51 - Boutique
J51 - Stockholm
J51 - Alexis
J51 - Central
J51 - Boss
J51 - Journal
J51 - Enlighten
J51 - Lifestyle
J51 - Habitat
J51 - Calibra
J51 - Classic

Remaining templates use Mootools for the animated dropdown on the top menu sub-items. If this is a feature you are not using then you can safely remove Mootools.

Can you precise "more recent"? For example, I'm using Kindle, Presence, Bordeaux and Pianoforte. In general, they work fine except for the fact that cascaded menus are messed up... if it would be possible to somehow improve this it would greatly improve the mobile versions for older templates (Mootools is using about 300 KB)...

Niko

Hi Niko

Our more recent template releases are no longer dependant on Mootools so you can safely remove the loading of Mootools without any ill effect to the template. To do so simply remove the following from the head of your templates index.php (../templates/[YourTemplate]/index.php)...


JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true);

Hi April

1. Yes we use our own template for Joomla51.com :)

2./3. I believe this to be a component issue rather than a template issue. It might be worth testing your forum using Beez and see if the issue is still present to confirm.

4. Presuming you are using Joomla 3.x, our templates no longer use mootools. In Joomla 3 mootools has been replaced by the jQuery library.

Ciarán

From what I see, the templates still use mootools (even the latest one, Vitality: <script src="/0123/media/system/js/mootools-core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>;) due to the menu which relies on that. This has a negative performance impact. Any plans when this dependency is removed so the menu works with jQuery only?

Best regards, Niko

Hi April

Presuming I understand you correctly, you wish to place a module to the right of your component (forum) area? Have you considered simply using the 'sidecol-b' module position for this purpose? Once a module is enabled in this position, the space will automatically be created to accommodate it.

Hello Ciaran,

well I thought I found the answer but why every time I modify .wrapper960 {
width: 70%; margin-left: 5px
}

where forum sits... changes occur to the entire page? my menu, header, etc.. all shifts accordingly. What module is this sitting? Can't identify it. Thanks

april

Ciaran,

OK, so how do I move it to the far left? So I can use space on the right? How do I change the background? I was playing around with the template colors, etc., but could not figure out the background. It took me a while to learn how to put the template menu and header on top. Again, I'm spending time researching various template customizations for the program. I have so much to do and I hope to make some progress this weekend.

Thanks

Thank you

I have checked your site and your forum appears to be already taking up the full width of your content wrapper, 980px as set in your templates parameters.
