FlexiContent with GavickPro Template Issues & Solutions

Hi Everyone,

It has been about a week now that I have been struggling with some issues to use FlexiContent with GavickPro template, as it was mention in this forum, these issues are not related at all with FlexiContent but with GavickPro template itself, I have been with the GavickPro guys for about a week to sort all these out and wanted to share it here just in case anyone else got the same issues with GK templates.

If you click on the 'Add New Item' menu link with FlexiContent, you'll see that you'll have a complete blank page, even all modules disappears!

Solution:

FC uses class .clear which affect GK template elements like #mainContent and #gkTopNav because they are using class clear too. And it is overrided by rules from flexicontent. To fix it please go to yourtemplate/layouts/default.php and change all clear classes to gkClear.

Then please go to css/layout.css and change (line 17)

to

Just in case please check that all files in yourtemplate/layout/blocks if "clear" class isn't use too.

Actually, these files do also use the clear class and need to be modified to .gkClear

yourtemplate/layouts/blocks/tools/login.php
yourtemplate/layouts/blocks/tools/register.php
yourtemplate/layouts/blocks/bottom1.php
yourtemplate/layouts/blocks/bottom2.php
yourtemplate/layouts/blocks/top.php

These few steps will solve the issues between FC and GK templates, I posted this here so that anyone facing the same issues does not have to wait for forum moderators on GK website to answer them after many days.

Thanks for feedback, at some parts we try to use only specific CSS class names, but this is not everywhere,

-- e.g. new FLEXIcontent module and new Category search/filter/alpha-index form, new advanced search view form

-- A question: you speak for backend ??? (we had a similar conflict in frontend which we resolved)

for backend ... we will change our
to to avoid problem ...


-- for serious display conflicts with popular templates Frameworks you can POST a question here WITH an online link to your site (without it, i cannot do anything about CSS issues), usually a developer can see a CSS conflict in minutes,

-- Just note this is for serious CSS conflicts (not for custom styling

Regards

for for reporting

Hi,

We have applied all above mention changes in applicable codes but this time, still, we are having some additional issues, we are using one of GavickPro template, the GK Musicity and this issue can be found on this page mauriestate2013.antarticproperti ... ample.html

This time again, we have contacted GK team to have a look at this issue, but they mention that this time it is not due to their template but FC!

Prior to add any topic here, we have made some test with the default Joomla template but there is no issue at all with the default Joomla template and at this point, we, as newbie devs, we do not know what to do and how to do it?

As you will see, again, the width of the web page is very large and the height as well is very long! Both exceed the size of the content page.

Is it possible for you guys to help us to solve this issue?

Hi,

I hired a freelancer to solve the issue, as per the developer, the problem was related to some js files within the GK template, everything work fine now.
