JoomlaJunkie - Joomla Template Provider Bringing color to the Joomla community

Guys,

Template is great and just what I needed but have 1 trivial but annoying problem. In my content section I am getting duplicate "read more" buttons ie: 2 buttons istead of the usual one.

Any ideas? http://motorbike-asia.com (

Hi MBT,
I had a look at your site but could not see the issue you mentioned. Can you please confirm where i should be looking?
Thanks,
Chris

Look at it through Firefox or IE and on the front page in the content area you will see "North Thailand" heading below the content you should see 2 "read more" Links instead of one "read more" link. This is occurring on all my content sections. The site is still in production and most of what you see is just test text however 2 "read more" when the standard is generally just one?

Have another look and you will see the joomla junkie style Read more button in duplicate.

hi mbt,
ok i see what you mean now the comments component is using the default joomla .readon class, which is why it is getting the styling. I would recommend you remove the styling altogether. The selectors you should remove are located in your customize.css file:

#center .readon {
display:block;
float:right;
width:86px;
height: 21px;
background: url(../images/readon.jpg );
text-indent:-7998px;
margin:0 -2px -2px 0;
}

.readon {
display:block;
text-align:left;
width:125px;
text-indent:5px;
font: bold 1em sans-serif;
background-image: url(../images/readmoreicon.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 7px;
}

Remove those completely and it was revert the links back to normal text.

Also, i noticed your content is not in a paragraph (ie, wrapped in content here). Adding that will sort out the spacing issues

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Stoker, Sorted that but actually quite liked the read more button rather than the text! Is there any way to get the button (in singular) without too many probs?

Everything you saw on the site was just test stuff as I am still in the learning curve with joomla trying to sort out a subscriptio system but thanks for pointing out the other issue I will look into that, (not that I really understood what you were talking about)

Hi MBT,
Try adding this to your customize.css:

#center .readon {
display:block;
float:right;
width:86px;
height: 21px;
background: url(../images/readon.jpg );
text-indent:-7998px;
margin:0 -2px -2px 0;
}
.readon {
display:block;
text-align:left;
width:125px;
text-indent:5px;
font: bold 1em sans-serif;
background-image: url(../images/readmoreicon.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 7px;
}
#center .write_comment .readon{
background: none;
text-indent: 0;
width: 200px;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 -25px 0;
}

That should override the read more styling and allow you to keep it, but still see the comment text

Cheers,
Chris
