Thank you for detailing.

May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will examine this issue further. There appears to be an issue where the template settings are not been applied. Possibly caused by a plugin from another template? For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

Note the Footer Background Color field relates to the copyright and footer menu area (dark band at the bottom of the page. The footer-1 and footer-2 module positions are actually part of the base. Admitedly this is a little confuing and something we need to reconsider.

Ok, I try to explain:
I have set the following template values:



Then I created a module with these values:


This is the result on the frontend:


As you see: no dark background.

You can check yourself on: http://dev.lorch-webdesign.de/_fuhr/
There is no background-color set for

#container_base1_modules, #container_base2_modules, #footer-1, #footer-2 {

    color: var(--text-main);

    --text-main: #ddd;

}

I can add

#container_base2_modules {background-color: rgba(26,26,26,1);}

to my custom.css but that should not be the solution because I can set a background-color in the template properties for this area.... right?

Hi Oliver

Admittedly I still do not fully understand your issue. The CSS you are adding should also be applied via the template options with the Base-2 Background Color field. Would you have a URL to an example of your footer?

Ciaran

Hi Ciaran,

I build a module set to module position "footer-2".
In template options I set Footer Background Color to "rgba(26, 26, 26, 1)".
Base-1 and Base-2 Background Color are set to "rgba(26, 26, 26, 1)" too.
But the background of the module on "footer-2" position is still white.
Currently I solved it by setting

#container_base2_modules {background-color: rgba(26,26,26,1);}

but it seems it does not work with the template parameters....

Oliver

Hi Oliver

Could you detail what you are trying to achieve? If I understand you correctly you are trying to give a module in the footer positions the same background color as the base modules?

Ciaran

Oliver,

Thanks so much for testing.

I went back, after clearing cache, and thoroughly check my settings. Lo and behold, I had a global configuration setting on articles which created the problem.

All is now well. Thanks again for helping.

Cheers,

Ron

Hello Ron,

I tested it and set the Article Title Color to #7a1a1a. It works fine.
An example you can see here: http://dev.lorch-webdesign.de/_fuhr/seminare/haltungsregulation-basis

I went to your site https://oldsilent.com/endeavor/index.php/london-cries/rowlandson-cries-lower-orders and opened web developer in Firefox and I changed the css to a bright red:

h2, h2 a:link, h2 a:visited {color: #f00;}

It worked too.
Maybe you have cache activated in the site configuration?

Oliver

Oliver,

Would you do me a favor regarding the Layla template (it may be related to your issue)?

I am having no luck in changing the article title color (h2) in either the template settings or additional CSS.

I would appreciate your testing this for me if possible.

Thanks,

Ron
