Hello,


(A) you only need to modify a single CSS files, you do not need need to modify any PHP files, in order to override CSS,


(B) please restore any PHP files that you have modified, e.g. re-install FLEXIcontent (without un-ininstall, yes never uninstall because it delete FLEXIcontent tables)


For overriding CSS you have 2 alternatives:

-1- To add CSS that affects ALL frontend views please do exactly as this FAQ article:
How to customize CSS styles of FLEXIcontent
(after you create this file please PUT YOUR site online server, so that we can view it)

-2- If you want to affect only a FLEXIcontent custom template 'mydefault1' then you can modify / OR ADD NEW rules inside its files: item.css and category.css


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.

Hi,
i've made some checks with firebug. I've noticed that some html has disappeared after i've installed flexi, look at the screenshots: for example "<div class="items-row cols-2 row-0 clearfix"/> has become "<div class="items-row cols-2 row-0"/>, losing "clearfix" class. There are other examples of elements lost like this. I didn't any modification on the site, just installed flexi. With firebug, in the list of styles, there isn't flexicontent style (i attached this screenshot too). I really don't understand how it' s working but i'd really like to use your component because all the features are very good, it just has these problems with the templating. I hope these screensots can give you some more informations about my problem.

Hello
- after installing FLEXIcontent your content (article view) is displayed by FLEXIcontent code and not by joomla's com_content
- about category view, you can use joomla's category view (via menu items), but it is recommended that you use the FLEXIcontent category view (via menu items) which gives you more options
- about customizing FLEXIcontent CSS, you do not need to do this unless you have CSS conflicts or you want to beautify some parts according to your liking, you can add CSS rules inside ANY CSS file that your joomla template loads
- ALL templates have 2 layouts:
one for category view and one for item (article) view

- to add/remove fields go to template manager and drag and drop the fields that you need
NOTE: blog template is special case because it has parameters to customize the display

Hello,
currently FLEXIcontent for J2.5 renders ALL Content items (Joomla article view) with a FLEXIcontent template.

So when using FLEXIcontent you need to shape the item view (article view) as described above.

If you have a specific bug to report you can get FREE support, and believe me offering FREE bug support for a huge component is not trivial

and i was not able to login with credentials you send me.

And again please note , that we can only respond to bug reports

In styling and layout , bugs are only those that have SYNTAX error in HTML or CSS.


About showing specific content in your site :
-- you need to configure the component
-- Please read our FAQ and my previous posting

Regards
