Premium Joomla Templates
Display Issue with More Articles & Subcategories
Experiencing a problem with Business 2.0 Template ver 1.0.6 where in Category Blog Layout, with Columns set to (2), the "More Articles" is trying to display outside the page frame and Subcategories are displayed in a third column and not at the bottom of the article area.
In trouble shooting this issue, I changed the site to an out-of-the-box Joomla template, and More Articles and Subcategories display properly. If I change the Category Blog Layout to (1) Column, then More Articles and Subcategories display correctly. If I change Category Blog Layout to more than one column, then the problem appears.
Need assistance with this template.
Thanks in advance.

Hi dadu7058,
Thanks for the updates. Here's how you can fix #1:
Change the .items-more div as follows:
.items-more { background: url("green/sidebar_bg.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #D5DDCE; box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #FFFFFF inset, -1px -1px 0 #FFFFFF inset; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #FFFFFF; overflow: hidden; float: left; padding: 15px 2% 0; width: 96%; }
Essentially, we've added/modified the following: float: left; padding: 15px 2% 0; width: 96%;
For #2,
In template.css, modify the .items-row as per the following (just add width:100%):
.items-row { overflow: hidden; float: left; width:100%}
And then add the following to the bottom of the stylesheet:
.cat-children { float: left; width: 100%; }
Note that if you're using Business 2.0, you can simply paste the above within the CSS Override section in the template parameters and it should take effect (you may need to clear your browsers cache). This keeps your css files "hack-free" so upgrades can be easy. Let me know if the above do/do not work for you!

Hi dadu7058,
Im sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. I tried to replicate the issue on my end with little success. I used the following settings for the category blog layout:
and got the result as attached. Perhaps I am missing something that you may have set or may not have understood the problem accurately. Would it be possible for me to access your site (if its online) so we can get to the bottom of this? -
Issue 1:
Here is the link to the problem where the More Articles is Off the page:

Issue 2:
Here is the link to the problem where the Subcategories is in the "third column" of a two column blog Layout.

If I increase the H3 font size, this forces the Subcategory to the bottom on Issue 2.
Thanks! -
With help from my son-in-law, I changed green.css style sheet that is used for this template and edited:
"items-more"... and overflow from hidden to inherit.
It fixed Issue 1 above that was seen on http://www.orpa.net/joomla/index.php/disciplines/rifle/highpower
You can tell me if this is the right, permanent fix for issue 1.
Still working on Issue 2. -
Problem is reproducible on my site with Issues 1 & 2 appearing on this test page.

Turned off green.css style sheet - image attached showing subcategories and more articles in article column vs bottom. -
Most Excellent... the css over-rides you provided resolved the issues I was having with the "more articles" and the "subcategories" on the website that I am using the Business2.0 template on. Also... Thank you for the way you documented your answer. The screenshot of the template CSS Over-ride section was very useful in confirming the way I was making the change was correct. I like this feature so the template remains Hack-Free!
Are issues like this added to enhancements and bug fixes for future releases of the template?
Thanks again for the quick response. This was pretty much what was between launch and no-launch of the site.
