  1. Hi, I love the looks of this template “Pixeldot” and would like to use this as basis for our site. However when i add text to the mainpage (under Home) i get this through the added text:
    “Notice: Undefined property: ContentViewFeatured::$print in C:\xampp\htdocs\sub\ptl\templates\pixeldot\html\com_content\featured\default_item.php on line 67”
    Is this a known issue?
    Gr., Marcel

        1. Had the same error on my test server

          Here is how to get rid of it.

          Turn off error output in PHP, then that message will disappear.

          On a public available site, it’s generally not a good idea to output program internal error messages to the user anyway. (You still can see the error in the PHP error log files on the webs erver.)

          Now I do hope the developers of this template fix these issues, as otherwise the template works not 100% as intended.

  2. Hi,

    Nice template! I’ve been trying it out on localhost and it looks good. I have a question though. I’d like the slideshow to appear on one different page then the homepage, that is not on the homepage and not on every other page either. Can that be done?

    Looking forward to your answer.

    Sincerely
    Arjan

    ps to marcel: i don’t have that issue, using xampp allso.

    1. Try this code:

      params->get( ‘slidehome’ )) :
      ?>
      getMenu();
      $lang = JFactory::getLanguage();

      if ($menu->getActive() /** == $menu->getDefault($lang->getTag()) **/ ) : ?>

  3. I love the PixelDot template but I am having a rather odd problem that I cannot figure out. I am using Joomla 3 for this particular site. I want to have the home page like the one on the template with the 3 boxes below the main content section. I know it is not User1, User2, or User3 positions but I cannot find how to do this. Any help would be most appreciated.

    You can see my Template so far here and see how it is not looking like yours. http://www.mprsupplychain.com/joomla/joo30

    Thanks for the great Template.

    1. Phillip,
      Can you tell me how you worked this out? I would like to be able to do the same thing.

      Thanks.

  4. I love the template, but having some issues or maybe it’s me.
    I just did a new install of joomla! 3 and installed this theme. But mine doesn’t look anything like your demo. ๐Ÿ™
    I don’t see the top menu, nor do I see the modules within the front page.
    I would LOVE some help. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Thanks!

  5. I really like your template, thanks for making it free!

    How do I change things like ‘custom slogan’?

    I put an entry in params – slogan = ‘slogan text’ but no luck.

    PS, I’m a novice, if that wasn’t clear ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Hi again. I was hoping for an answer to my slideshowquestion above but I have another question. I have put top 1 and top 2 in place and assigned them to all pages like my other modules in user 1,2,3 position. Problem is that top 1 and top 2 modules only show on the homepage. Right module and other ones are showing on everypage but not top 1,2. They are assigned and published to all pages….

  7. this template looks great. I intend to use it in my website. however I cant save changes to the template! under template manager: edit style cant save the changes. HELP!

  8. Thank you for this wonderful template! I will use it for my site-update. Can you tell me how I can change the font style of the description? And could the dark bar underneath adjust itself in length according to the length of the decription?

  9. Hi again, I posted two comments 2 weeks ago explaining that I liked this template and also a question about the top position and the slideshow and now I noticed that my comments have been removed. I’m really surprised. Was it not possible to answer the question? I mean, u made the template and it’s a free template so i’m not making any demands….I was merely commenting…..

    sincerely
    Arjan

  10. Could you please port it to 2.5?

    I seriously LOVE this theme but can’t switch to 3.0 due to virtuemart plugin.

    Could you please port your theme for 2.5?

    Thanks A LOT

  11. too bad admin is not administrating this ,ine of comments. What’s the use of having comments when there is no one 2 admninistrate or answer……

I took pixel dot. and amazing. i am going to make it as a base for on of my client website. good work and keep it up

  14. Hi, love the template, but have one snag. Haven’t seen any answers to questions in this but worth a shot ๐Ÿ™‚ My submenus don’t popup using the mouseover like they do in your demo site. If I click on a main menu, then they appear in the mouseover (just the one I clicked on). I’m using latest joomla 3 version. Any ideas.. please..? Do I need to install some extension to joomla to get it to work..?

  15. Okay, I have a solution for the Problem with the: Notice: Undefined property: ContentViewFeatured::$print in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\templates\pixeldot\html\com_content\featured\default_item.php

    Just follow the “link” in “your System” and then delete the “default_item.php”.

    If you start then the xampp new, you will not find the error. I hope you unterstand this, because my english is very bad :-). I just tried it and it works, JIPIE!

  16. how can I remove the date on the bottom?
    I tried to change the template code in Joomla, but afterwards my site crashed (white screen)…

  17. I am using Joomla 3.0, when I want to center my text or insert a picture on a page, itยดs getting saved, but the picture is not on the page anymore and the format of the text is gone …

      1. I deleted the log from images and replaced it with a new one. The picture did not change. When renamed the logo to logo1 I saw my original new logo. I renamed it again tot logo and my picture changed to the original logo. I like the template but cannot use it this way.

  18. For what it’s worth – to those of you who are concerned that the Top1 & Top2 positions only show up on the frontpage I seem to have found a workaround.

    If you look at the index.php file in the template folder you will see around line 50-54 or so where it says ‘ ‘ immediately on the line before that you’ll notice a php statement that is an ‘if’ statement. I do not believe it is working as intended so if you comment it out (and comment out the ‘end if’ after the top positions div) the Top1 and Top2 positions will show on every page.

    I stumbled across the same issue when playing with the template for a site. I ended up going with a different template, but figured I would provide the info I used to solve the problem.

    Cheers!

  19. It looks like my last comment went a little screwy because of the HTML. around like 50-54 you’ll see the line – div id=”toppositions” – the PHP you should change is just before that.

  20. Excellent template, using it on my site.

    I have a problem. My top menu is 3 deep and interacts with the indicators and spinner for the slideshow on the front page. It is such that I cannot select the bottom submenu.

    Anyone experienced this and how can I fix?

  21. I would like to adjust the css for links (I find the text a bit too big…). I only have basic knowledge in css. What to do?

    Thanks for the free template!

  22. Hello,
    Thanks for creating such a nice template. I have facing some problem in using this template for my intranet site.
    The slide show keep on loading because of jqquery conflict.
    Does pixeldot has any version which is compatible with jquery1.8?

  23. Hi…great template, which I’d like to use. But I can’t get any of my articles linked using the main menu buttons, neither first nor second level. I always get error 404 upon clicking on a menue button. The only one being showed is that article that is selected as main article. Any Ideas?

I always get error 404 upon clicking on a menue button. The only one being showed is that article that is selected as main article. Any Ideas? By the way, I’ve linked the buttons using “single article” respectively “external/internal link” if there’s a second menu level…

          It is a great template!

  41. Hello,

    Nice template, but I canโ€™t get any of my articles linked using the main menu buttons. I always get blank screen upon clicking on a menu button after moving from localhost to server. The only one being showed is that article that is selected as main article.

    Could you help with it?

    1. The error which I get is:
      Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘defined’ (T_STRING) in /home/ambermou/domains/sodyba.ambermouse.lt/public_html/templates/pixeldot/html/com_content/article/default.php on line 1

    Three problems I cannot solve, how do you get the top menu to display? If you add a table, there is still an outline on the border, even though the border is set to zero? and is there a way to change the colour from the article(s) page from the default white, to another colour?
