White space about 1'' at bottom of Avanti Template

Hello,

I've got a one to two inch white space at the bottom of the Avanti template that I would like to remove. It's probably something simple, but I'm unable to locate where to make the change. You can see what I mean here:

Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey percy,

You will need to go into your Joomla admin, under the module manager, locate the microblog module and disable it or unpublish it from the home menu item.

Let us know how that works for you.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hey Jason,

Thanks for the really quick reply!

I can't locate a module in the module manager called microblog.. or anything in the home menu item.
I do have a menu item called 'Blog' but I'm pretty sure that's not relevant.. and it is already unpublished.

I have cleared joomla and browser cache, purged expired joomla cache, checked trash contents, global check-in.. no luck.

Thanks man

Hey Percy,
You're welcome.
It seems like there is an empty microblog module published there, so in your module manager, look for mod_mocroblog as the module name.

Cheers,
Jason.

I hope it was ok to post this?

Hey Percy,

Thanks, and you're right. It isn't the microBlog module. It is just the frontpage layout that is empty and the template wasn't design to have no article of module published to the front page. I'll try and find a workaround for you.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hey Percy,

If you do not plan to use any other positions on the frontpage, I have a workaround for this.

It involves adding a bit of code to the index.php file for the template.
You should first take a backup of the file
/templates/jb_avanti/index.php

Then at line 4 add the following
// frontpage hack variable 
 $home = 0;
 $menuitem = & JSite::getMenu();
 if ($menuitem->getActive() == $menuitem->getDefault()) {
 $home = "1";
 }

On line 473 (approx.)
You have
<!-- Third Row Grid -->
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="outerWrapper mainRow">

Change it to
<!-- Third Row Grid -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(!($home)){?>
<div class="outerWrapper mainRow">


The approx. on line 557
you have
<div id="mainContent"  class="<?php echo $mainWidth ?>">
												<jdoc:include type="message" />
												<jdoc:include type="component" />
										</div>

Change that to
<div id="mainContent"  class="<?php echo $mainWidth ?>">
											<?php }?>
												<jdoc:include type="message" />
												<jdoc:include type="component" />
											<?php if(!($home)){?>
										</div>


Finally on line 633 (approx)

You have
</div>

<div id="botGridWrap">


Change it to
</div>
<?php }?>
<div id="botGridWrap">


That should remove the white strip on the front page.
Let us know how well this works for you.

Cheers,
Jason.
