Title: Vmbeez5 doesn't show categories in posito on 4
Post by: websmith on January 16, 2016, 23:26:19 PM
Joomla 3.4.8
VM 3.0.12

I'm using vmb5 template and I'm trying to enable categories to display on the left hand side this is position four under extension modules.

when I have show title it seems to display but you have to click the plus sign for the categories to display they roll up and down if I click or choose hide title the categories disappear

is there any way to have the categories displayed permanently without having to click a plus or minus?

Thanks for any help.

VMBeez is identical to standard Joomla Beez except for some css, therefore the show/hide is the same as standard.

Edit the template's index.php to change:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-4" style="beezHide" headerLevel="3" state="0 " />

To

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-4" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />


There are other occurrences of the line you can change for other user positions.

hi

thanks

the first solution needed the state = "1 " and this seems to work

the second aligns to left but the rest of the bar disappears, only menu options appear as normal

will try and look at that.

many thanks
