Buildr / Zentools2 custom CSS

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hello,
I am using the Buildr Koen template but can not get the custom CSS to work consistently when changing the theme settings in a Zentools module.

Specifically if I use Zentools Grid layout, then I can change the theme settings and save to custom CSS no problem. When I change the layout to Pagination, all the custom CSS is removed and I can not get custom CSS to work.

Is this a custom CSS issue with Pagination layout? Is there a custom CSS specifically for Pagination that could be corrupted or is the custom CSS only specific to the Zentools Module, or both?

I have updated the template and Zentools2 but no difference.

Hi Paul. I have spent so much time trying to get to the bottom of this. I hope you can help.

This is the link to the page:
www.wainwrightlandscapearchitecture.co.uk/WLAtest/index.php/resources

On this page I have displayed the Zentools2 module x2 in the main area (please ignore the RH sidebar).
The first/top 3 images use the Pagination layout with custom CSS. Intro text is not truncated and the images are displayed twice.

The lower 3 images use the Grid Layout with custom CSS. Intro text is truncated and the images are displayed once.

I have used the same Theme in both. The settings are the same, both to custom CSS. I have deliberately set the Item Background to red #ab2e2e so you can see the difference.

In Grid the custom CSS seems to apply. In Pagination it doesn't. The paragraph text formatting is also affected.

The second issue I have is - do I have to truncate the intro text to prevent the module from displaying the image twice? I expected the Image settings to control just the image and the intro text just to control display of text. ??

If you need any more info please let me know.

Hi Paul. The additional image management would be a welcome feature. It would be helpful if you are able to send it.


Did you manage to look at the custom CSS issue?

Thanks John

Hi John,

With the css did you duplicate the module?

Created the ticket for you

Hi Paul. No the 2 modules are created separately, not a copy. But If I change the Grid module to Pagination layout it has the same result. So I don't think it is one particular module that is corrupted. I get the same result in either module if I change the layout.

Sorry just to clarify.... The top module on the page Pagination (News & Blog WLA module) is a new created module. The lower module (Grid-example-8 (copy)) is a copy of the original template install.

They are not copies of each other.
