Flexi content and website template

Hi,
flexicontent is a great component, it does everything i need, but i have a big problem: when i install flexicontent, my content are displayed in a wrong way, with text going outside of its space and other css properties are broken.

To explain better, look at the images i added.
One shows the way articles were shown before i installed flexi, the other shows how i see articles with flexi installed (on joomla 2.5).

I've seen there's a configuration to enable or disable flexi css, but this doesn't change anything.

Is there a simple way to solve this problem? I've looked at every configuration but i didn't find a solution.

Thank you for your work and your support.

Hello

- in your site,
the component area + modules positions, are shaped and style by Joomla template

- when using FLEXIcontent the component area is shaped and style by FLEXIcontent template layout

i see that you posted pictures of category view,
please note that your categories by default they use the 'blog' category layout

1. so edit your category , and if you want to stick to 'blog' category layout at bottom right you can set its parameters to shape it.
at this area you can configure your images either extra from description or use an image field

2. all FC templates have positions to assign fields to templates go to template manager and edit the category layouyt
it looks like you are using the 'blog' template

Hi,
thank you for your answer. It's clear for me how to manage the template configuration that you described which i can use to change the columns, add image or other fields to the blog template of the category.
I think my problem is connected to the different css of flexi that overrides in some way the one of the com_content, changing the quality of the view: as you can see in the image, the text goes outside of the space and the background (light gray)of the titles has disappeared. I need to replicate the same structure/css of the original com_content and this is what i'm not able to do. Is it necessary to modify the stylesheets of flexi?

Thank you

Hi,
actually FlexiContent adds own CSS classes and they might override the Joomla template ones. Please read here for the best way to modify css classes: www.flexicontent.org/documentati ... ntent.html

Hi,
i tried this solution descripted in your link(created joomla_folder/templates/mytemplate/css/flexicontent.css with my css code) but it does't seem to have any effect (i've also deleted the cache to be sure that it doesn't load old files).

Have you got any other suggestions?

Thank you very much
Federico
