Need help with custom template code

[gscheiman]

Apologies if this is a duplicate post, my first attempt generated a message (error?) that flashed by too fast for me to see it.

I am trying to install the Phoca PDF module but I am using a template from cloudaccess.net which is based on Gentry/RocketTheme and therefore has custom components. Is there any chance someone can help me modify the code to fit the custom stuff revised? I've copy/pasted the custom code below. Any help would be appreciated.

From my template's com_content default.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**

 * @version   3.2.5 June 1, 2011

					</li>
				<?php endif; ?>
				</ul>
			</div>
		<?php /** End Article Icons **/ endif; ?>

Okay, nearly resolved this.

1. Looking at the code, it is in two parts. The first php call just needs to go near the top of the default.php file. So I put it after my first statement (which renames some calls).

2. Second part of the code was trickier. I looked at each individual call and realized that I could map it to existing statements to make them work. After I figured this out, I found this in the forum which gives more details: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=13021

3. MUST set article options on BOTH article and menu to "show intro text". Otherwise, the PDF will be blank.

I'm down to one last issue:

The icon is just a duplicate of the print icon. How do I get it to look like a PDF icon? The alt tag is correct, so it's just the image that is the problem. And oddly enough, if I press the button to print, it will show the correct PDF icon in the print file. So it's just not showing right on the article page. See example here: http://paulushook.net/joomla/jupgrade/aboutus/bylaws

Solved. This post had the answer I needed to fix the PDF icon. viewtopic.php?f=37&t=14757

Note that the code suggests putting a double slash in commenting on the Joomla CSS, but mine required a single slash.

There are enough questions about Gantry frameworks that the two posts I linked to might be worth cleaning up and adding to the install guides to help folks out before they have to hunt around the forum for answers.

Hi, I have no problem to add such information somewhere into guide, but I don't know the Gantry, so if somebody who knows these problems will write a guide for this, I will appreciate it and will add it to the Phoca PDF guide.
