The theme work in this way:
When You post the News - they appears in the category and the top (latest News).

The theme need rewrite if You want News only in the category or top.
Need delete the top News (latest News and need put in this area featurebox (in featurebox you can put what you want).
If you want rewrite the theme.
So the theme released this.

Delete this lines from theme.php:

<div class='page-top-news'>
      {BOOTSTRAP_GRID_NEWS_FEATURES_TOP}         
    </div>

from:

$LAYOUT['magazine_home'] =  "

and insert instead that:

<div class='page-top-news'>
      {MENU=10}         
    </div>

and activate the featurebox into this menuarea.
You can insert the featurebox what you want.

It looks ok but I still like the layout before. I did find out that not all the posts show in both categories. An example being I assigned two news posts to the same category only one showed in the top it did not show in the main content area.

Actually I was to ask if you could give me the configuration of the Preview_full picture of the theme I have settled on using that.

I do not understand what you want, but I write how the theme work with News.
News shortcodes set in the theme_shortcodes.php.
The categories 1,2,3,4,5 appears in the center column.
The category 6 appears in the right column.
The categories 7,8 appears in the left column.
The latest 4 News appears on the top of page.In this way you can see I set 8 categories.
If you want more need add the shortcode into the theme_shortcode.php.
If no category I insert the manuarea on columns.
This you can see on admin area.
And the right menuarea has the tabs. You can set menu into the tabs. (if you don't want the tabs need delete from theme.php).
I think that is all, how the News work.
I hope that's what you mean.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2017. Sep 21. Thu, 23:53

Ok a few morre questions if thats alright.

1.I can see you said you created 8 Categories and from what you said they all have preset areas that they appear in.

2.I'm also guessing that you are used the grid_news menu as well as setting the other news menu on the sides ?

Other then that That's all my questions

Thanks again for your help.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Oct 01. Sun, 21:50

Yes.
The shortcode in the theme_shortcodes.php.
And layout in the News_grid_template.php

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2017. Oct 03. Tue, 14:01

Ok I have a few more questions if that's alright.

I have created 8 categories as per the example But do they go by the id or sort order in the new categories settings. I had set the test categories by id but I am seeing a weird effect.

you said category 6 appears on the right side which I set for the videos category but the id for that is 5 but the sort order is 4 and yet its showing on the right side so I don't know whats going on any ideas ?.

Again thanks.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Oct 05. Thu, 22:18

The code in the theme_shortcodes.php, example:

{MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=5&category=2&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-1}

You can select the category what you want.
Theme.php and grid_template for the layout and style.css for the style.
If you want change the category..open the theme_shortcodes.php file and change the category in the shortcode.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2017. Oct 06. Fri, 19:12

Ok I will look into this but just to make sure we are on the same page,I am talking about setting the ID of the category to make sure it shows in its pre-assigned spot on the page.

You said :

The categories 1,2,3,4,5 appears in the center column.
The category 6 appears in the right column.
The categories 7,8 appears in the left column.

So how do I know which Category goes with each number ?.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme

If not its ok I will ask for help at e107help on this issue.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Oct 17. Tue, 21:51

You see it in the theme_shortcodes.php

{MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=5&category=2&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-1}

The shortcodes in the Theme_shortcodes.php (category=2) and in the theme.php file you see the shortcodes and what shortcode in the layout.
And...in the theme_shortcodes.php I commented where the category:

<!-- News Grid Menu for Center Column 1. category -->

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Oct 20. Fri, 16:42

Delete this from custom.js file (or comment this):

/* Settings of the sticky menu - fix on top the categories main menu */
  $('.header-bottom').sticky({
    topSpacing: 0,
    zIndex: 100 
  });

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme

Thanks again. I think I found a way but I wanted to widen the page a tiny bit.

Would that be very hard ?.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Oct 22. Sun, 07:47

This theme use bootstrap 3 and the width fixed or fluid. If you want change the width need rewrite the bootstrap css. It't hard.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2017. Oct 24. Tue, 02:03

I understand I just wanted a little more room for the News area. Thanks again and if I have any other problems with this theme I will let you know.

I tried to edit /public_html/web/lib/bootstrap/3.3.7/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css and was met with a blank page saying there was no style sheet.

I tried restoring database did not work I also tried reuploading the files which also did not work did I miss something ?.

Is there any other way to expand the theme so it fits in the entire window kind of like the theme called simple portal on e107.org ?.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Nov 01. Wed, 08:10

I do not recommend modify the bootstrap.css. This is standard. Use the container-fluid in theme.php for full width of window.

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2017. Nov 04. Sat, 02:22

Could you tell me where to place those in theme.php ?

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2017. Nov 12. Sun, 21:57

Where you see in theme.php:

<div class='container'>

or

<div id='main-content' class='container maincontent'>

change :

container-fluid

2. section: this is in the theme.php. You can update it. code:

<div class='social-connected'>
          <div class='social_facebook'>
            {XURL_ICONS: type=facebook} 
            <span class='xurl-text'>".LAN_THEME_200."</span>
          </div>
          <div class='social_twitter'>

Just had a few questions popup. Does this theme work with mobile phones too ?.

1.I am asking because the logo I made which is the default size of the header image shows up very large so you cannot see the entire image.

Can this be fixed to show entire page for mobile or smart phones ?.


2.I know you said I would need a complete rewrite of the theme but I just wanted to make sure as I had another idea. Can an options be made to send it to the {BOOTSTRAP_GRID_NEWS_FEATURES_TOP} area or can nothing at all be done with it ?.

Again thanks for all your help & not flaming at me..

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2018. Aug 11. Sat, 20:34

1. For LOGO: It is necessary to define the image size in the style.css.
2. Sorry I don't understand wath you want with the top News.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2018. Aug 12. Sun, 02:23

The theme work in this way:

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2018. Aug 30. Thu, 08:07

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2018. Sep 22. Sat, 03:33

I have decided to use the feature box thanks for that idea.

I would like to ask how I could replace the latest 4 top news stories with the feature box across that area.

I have no idea where to start so thanks in advanced.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
infernoprime, 2018. Sep 30. Sun, 01:24

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2018. Oct 10. Wed, 19:04

Change top News to Featurebox
on line 289 in theme.php:

{BOOTSTRAP_GRID_NEWS_FEATURES_TOP}

to:

{MENU=featurebox}

but you need rewrite the style.


For the 4 News
You can change the layout for the News on the admin area.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme

Please forget my last post. I was looking at your bs gaming 03 and have two questions about it.

1.In the theme manager after changing to the bs gaming 03 theme there is a preferences tab but the text boxs do not say what they are for I need to know this!.

2.How can I insert a header logo I do not know how to do this.

Re: BS_Magazine_01 theme
fizi, 2018. Dec 29. Sat, 13:48

1. Preferences: You can set the header image or video and you can set the menuarea left or right.
2. Logo: You can put the shortcode in theme.php (need rewrite that).
