hi,

i need the functionality of the latestinterviews template in the frontpage but with completely altered styling..
i noticed that in the list <ul><li> there is a lot of css inline..

is it possible to create a second template with latestinterviews functionality, but with my completely own css inline and external, or just go with a module and a class suffic and use "!important" on all rules?

for instance, i need more items to display in front page and not just two, i don't need radius and border spacing etc..

which is the safest way to go?

Hello Nikos,

All the inline css are from the nuSlider JS script. I strongly suggest that you do not alter this script.

What you have to do is to copy the folder of the latestinterviews template and rename it. Then open the newly created .php file. You will notice that is well commented and you will not have any issues editing it (you will most likely only need to change the $count variable).

Then if you don not want to alter the latest interviews look & feel simply change the CSS classes of the module and the module suffix as well. Then use the existing classes and structure as a reference.

At this point since you are developing a completely custom site and you have used the template as a starting point you shouldn't focus on the upgradability as much as best coding practices.

for start i try the override solution using !important rules on css..

however, i was checking the site on other browser (i.e.) and there seems to be a problem with image sizing-resizing on itemListView in the k2 container..
more specifically the uploaded image that is fetched through the articles in the category section, doesnt seem to get resized in the i.e like on chrome.. there is an inline width:200px and to my understanding it seems that it sticks to that no matter what..
i review my custom template code, incase i had a rule that eould override existing ones, but the only one that overrides in that part is just a float:right and nothing more..

Try removing the float:left from div.catItemImageBlock for this specific view.

that did actually work :) thank you :)

new one :)

i want for each mitem of main menu to be able to add a class to the body tag.. the page class does add class but to interior div, is it possible to add also on the body tag?

You will have to add some code to your index.php file of the template.
under the inclusion of helper.php add this code snippet
This will append the page class suffix of your active menu item to the $bodyClass.

it worked like a charm :) thank you again Yiota
