List of issues with third-party templates discovered during the beta phase of JomSocial 3
Contents
Rocket Theme
- Sidebar module positions not showing up on the edit profile page
If you use Gantry based templates, you will experience issue with modules published in the sidebar position.
This is because Gantry have special mode called editmode but it only checks the URL for the active task
You can view it here
JOOMLAROOT/libraries/gantry/core/renderers/gantryorderedmainbodyrenderer.class.php
Starting at line 41 and bellow
$editmode = JFactory::getApplication()->input->getCmd('task') == 'edit' ? true : false;
It only checks for task=edit and if its true, later in the code it completely disables sidebar positions
On edit profile page, JomSocial have this task, therefore, Gantry thinks that you are in the editmode
Resolution: Fix to Gantry code is needed to check for options and views. RocketTheme developers are notified about this
Joomlart
- Menu dropdowns not working on templates built with T3 Framework
If you use T3 based templates published before July 2013, you might experience the problems with dropdown menu in main navigation.
Resolution: Update to latest T3 Framework provided by Joomlart
Demo of working dropdowns with latest T3- http://demo.t3-framework.org/compatibility_jomsocial/index.php/en/
Gavick
- Isolated issue - Single Template not working at all
If youre using this template, you will experience the issue with Displaying JomSocial component
Interestingly, this only happens with one single Gavick template. It is World News II Template
Other templates from Gavick seem to be working fine. We even conducted the whole closed beta phase using one of the Gavick templates.
Resolution" Waiting for Gavick input
