Joomla! Template Tricks

Joomla! Template Overrides

Migrating from Joomla! 1.5 to Joomla! 3.x

Recently a client observed that photos she uploaded to her WordPress blog appeared fine on her computer, but were upside down when viewed on an iPhone or iPad.

This is NOT a problem if you prepare your images for use on the web by editing them on your computer.

Images optimized at Webresizer.com retain the camera’s exif data and if you rotate the image in the edit process it will be fine in operating systems and software that ignores the EXIF data, but cause problems in iOS devices that DO pay attention and “correct” the image per the instructions saved in that data.

in warp/systems/wordpress/layouts/_post.php  find this:

<?php the_content(''); ?>

and replace with :

<?php global $more; $more = 0; the_content('Read the full article...');?>

Then lower down in the document find and comment out the Continue Reading link which would appear whether you had added “more” break or not.

<!--<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php _e('Continue Reading', 'warp'); ?></a></li>-->

 

 

WP 3.9 TINYMCE4   modifications:

I added this:

function mce_mod( $init ) {

   $init[‘block_formats’] = ‘Paragraph=p;Heading 2=h2;Heading 3=h3;Heading 4=h4’;

   $style_formats = array (

       array( ‘title’ => ‘testimonial’, ‘block’ => ‘blockquote’, ‘classes’ => ‘testimonial’ ),

       array( ‘title’ => ‘bold but not LOUD text’, ‘inline’ => ‘span’, ‘styles’ => array( ‘font-weight’ => ‘bold’ ) ),

      

   );

   $init[‘style_formats’] = json_encode( $style_formats );

   $init[‘style_formats_merge’] = false;

   return $init;

}

add_filter(‘tiny_mce_before_init’, ‘mce_mod’);

function mce_add_buttons( $buttons ){

   array_splice( $buttons, 1, 0, ‘styleselect’ );

   return $buttons;

}

add_filter( ‘mce_buttons_2’, ‘mce_add_buttons’ );
