    • Help with Zuka Theme

    Posted by taemurz on Mon 26 of Jan, 2009 00:21 GMT-0000 posts: 3

    Hi

    VERY new user to Tikiwiki and Zuka theme

    I have a site which I am designing for a church group and also using it for a degree course project which I must say I am very proud of it.

    I am having some problems with the site. If you take a look (www.joomlawiki.net) - please ignore the site name as its just a temporary name.

    1- The breadcrumbs do not match on the top bar for some reason.
    2- The title I am try to replicate is the one on http://zukakakina.com/Eatlon&bl=y (where it says Zukakakina.com) but for some reason I cannot replicate the wonderful font OR its size. I do not want to use the image I currently have but instead just add the name of the group on the top.

    Any advice would be appreciated ..

    You mention the Zuka theme. Sorry but the Zuka theme hasn't been updated for TikiWiki 2 and so won't work without problems. But then I see you're using the Eatlon theme so I guess the Zuka theme isn't involved after all.

    About the breadcrumbs, what is displaying at Zukakakina.com is the site title ("Zukakakina.com") and subtitle ("Themes, etc. for TikiWiki CMS/Groupware"). These are displayed with this custom code, entered in the Custom Site Header textarea:

    <div id="sitetitle"><a href="index.php" title="
     Plugin disabled
    Plugin tr cannot be executed.
    Home{/tr}">Zukakakina.com</a></div>

    <div id="sitesubtitle">Themes, etc. for TikiWiki CMS/Groupware</div>

    The Eatlon theme has CSS style information in its stylesheet to render the sitetitle and sitesubtitle divs in the font sizes, etc., that you see there. Using this custom code along with a site logo could cause problems unless adjustments are made in the theme's stylesheet. But you could try entering just the sitesubtitle information in the custom site header textarea, and see if it displays well.

    The breadcrumbs feature of TikiWiki doesn't have any particular text styling as far as I know, so that's why it displays as it does at your site. Personally, I think a two-link breadcrumb trail is fairly useless, so I don't ever use it.

    Also, at Zukakakina.com, there is a menu specified on the Look & Feel page. "Top Bar," "Site menu bar" are turned on and the menu id (of a custom menu that has fewer items than the default menu and therefore fits better) is specified.

    Many thanks Gary, very useful and informative mate.

    Apologies on the Zuka and Eatlon confusion. You are right, its the Eatlon that I meant (was very late when I was typing the email last night!)

    Now, the site header is sorted AND the breadcrumbs taken out (totally agree on them being useless to be honest) so many thanks for that.

    Regards

    Zak

    Dear Gary,
    I am currently setting-up a site using the Eatlon theme and some advise is needed.
    When the mod-events (calendar) is assigned all the dates are bold-blue and the calendar itself is a dark grey box, making impossible to distinguish dates.
    Secondly, when assigning mod-calendar_new the dates for 2009 start a day later than they should (but that is probably not a theme related issue).
    Could you please offer some coding solution for the mod-events (calendar)?
    Thank-you,
    IanY

    Oh Sorry,
    Forgot to add that I am running a new install of TikiWiki 2.2... not an upgrade.
    Cheers,
