UPDATE!!!

For the previus posting there is an additional step needed. In your template.css file you need to add one line of code. Open your file and scroll down to somewhere around line 60. The line should read something like the one below:

/* I added "margin-top: 10px" to the line below */

.content_header {margin-top: 10px !important; display:block !important; margin:0 0 -1px 0 !important; padding:5px 5px 4px 5px !important; /*background: url("../images/sep2.png") repeat-x scroll 50% 100% transparent;*/}

Create another line below that and you can put the comment in at your own option:

.header_icons {margin-top: 10px !important;}

This is taking advantage of a declared class that is not defined in template.css. It was found that the first added coding, "margin-top: 10px", was superseded by coding on line 17:

.article_row .content_header {margin-top:0px !important;}

Apparently the same class, if declared earlier in a file, takes precedence. The additional code added at line 61 resolves this, taking advantage of the undeclared "header_icons" class.

Hope this helps,
Wayne

Here is another tip / resolution with Neptune and Joomla 2.5.

Many, many people are having difficulty in Joomla 2.5 where they cannot turn off the display of the category title showing above a displayed article. This is especially if it is a migrated site. [color=#440000]This posting does not resolve the issue[/color].

But it does resolve the following issue. For some reason in Neptune, and this may apply to other templates, if the category title does not display the template does not reserve enough space to display the print and e-mail icons.

The first image:


and the second image graphically demonstrates the problem:



Here is how I made the necessary changes. I do not know how this will impact the display once the Joomla 2.5 development folks resolve the issue of category titles. So when you make the change to your file, denote that you made the change so it can be backed out to the original file.

Open your template.css file and scroll down to line 49. The line should look like this:

.content_header {display:block !important; margin:0 0 -1px 0 !important;  padding:5px 5px 4px 5px !important; /*background: url("../images/sep2.png") repeat-x scroll 50% 100% transparent;*/}

Copy the lines and then comment it out by using "/* before and "*/" the text. I usually before I close the comment put in there who did the commenting.

Now paste another instance of the class. You want to add the statement "margin-top: 10px;" somewhere in there.

Cordially,
Wayne

P.S. For some reason the images will not post to Joomla51's site. I will not link to them to images on my site as in the future they may not be there. I will send them to Ciaran in a private e-mail, letting him handle them any way he sees fit. :blush:

You're welcome.

Hi Wayne

Good to see you found the solution and thank you for sharing it with us

Call off the Dogs of War.

Doing some digging around in Joomla 2.5's Site > System Information showed the problem!!! There is an excellent online tutorial for taking Joomla 1.5.25 to 2.5 that can be found http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_Joomla_1.5_to_Joomla_2.5">[color=#880000]here[/color]. Easy to follow and seamless, to a certain point. That point is to wherein the tutorial gets to the "Check your New Joomla Installation" section. It insinuated to me that I could install what I needed, test it, and then delete my root directory and everything else for the exception of the "jupgrade" directory. I would then copy everything to the root. I was mistaken. :blush:

I thought I would run my system from the jupgrade directory as suggested in the tutorial. The only problem is that no matter what I was trying to install, a template or a plug-in, I kept getting errors.

If you get the "Warning: failed to move file" while using the jupgrade directory copy, nothing will install. Looking in Site > System Information will show that your tmp directory is still pointing to your original 1.5.25 directory; "site/tmp" and not to site/jupgrade/tmp. This is somewhat discussed in the "Templates" section of the tutorial. The explanation is kind of muddy.
