pdf icon not appearing on page custom code required
Posted: 24 Sep 2012, 03:49
Ok I have exhausted my ability to troubleshoot. I have determined that I need custom code on the default_item.php page as I have a rocketheme template (momentum) however following your guide i determined that the code is diffrent on my page than in your guide. I could no find anything to help in your forum. Here is the website: http://tituscreative.ca/themothertree/i ... p/the-book
Interestingly enough the pdf icon works fine in the easyblog blog articles( I of course installed the Easyblog plugin for this. But I need help with the code in the Joomla article template page; Here is php file the template uses:
default_item.php found in the rt_momentum template folder.
As you can see it differs greatly from your Customizing Joomla! core content files tutorial. I tried seveal things and it all ended in tears. 
This mostly because i do not understand php. Can you help me get this bad boy working? Thanks.
