Hi guys,

I'm using Lifestyle2. i would like to put in a module on my front page that spans the width of the page with what is a table of 4 columns. I would like to put in each column a testimonial. It would look a lot like the Medica (comfort for you module) docs.joomlabamboo.com/joomla-template/medica-documentation/display/front-page/comfort-for-you

can i use zen shortcode with my template? is this the right thing to do? or is there a better way?

thanks.

Hi

I'm not a 100% sure how the sortcode syntax will work as it came after the release of the T3 based templates

JB Type was used with the T3 based templates

www.joomlabamboo.com/blog/joomla-extensions/zenbuttons-and-fluid-grids-come-to-jb-type

A table is a different animal than columns - the example is purely columns is that what you want to achieve?

Cheers

yes, columns is what I would like for the current project. that would be fine.

Right so have the option of trying both plugins

I'd try using the shortcode syntax first

{zen-row}
{zen-3}
{zen-ambulance}{/zen-ambulance}

Try pasting this as a test to see if it works

This should give 4 columns with icons

Actually paul, I saw that on the site. The question is, is it ok to use these plugins? will it break my site?

and btw, can you give me the link for the plugins i need to do it?

zim

Also, I did put that code in the site, without downloading any extra plugins and it did not work. so i clearly need something else to make that work.

no worries this was 4 columns the site example was for just 3

the spans need to add up to 12 but its a bit moot as it didn't work at all

I'll try this myself using JB Type syntax

thanks. please let me know what you come up with.

try JB Syntax

I'll try attaching a text file

4 columns using JB Type syntax

This plugin should be installed and enabled already

Thanks paul. That worked. Only problem is that the left column sits RIGHT on the edge of the module. How do i add more space there?

Hi

Do you have a link for the site?

Cheers
Paul

Paul - i found a simpler way. I just centered the text and now it fits better.

thank you!

no problem

good luck with the site

Cheers
Paul
