Problems in Gazette template after updating to Joomla 4 and SP Page Builder 5

Asked by CdF 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi,
as recommended by Ofi, I open a new post ().
We need to upgrade a site that uses the Gazette template to Joomla 4.
In a test domain we started doing the upgrade.
We have also updated SP Page Builder to version 5 and need to fix some layout and search issues.

  • On the home page: the slides (horizontal and vertical) are wider (see image );
  • On the internal pages: the red line + category title and the content line are wider (see image).

A problem concerns Search (magnified at the top right): with the new "Search Engine" of Joomla 4, the search at the top right no longer works. How to solve.
Important: Having to make corrections on the official site, we need to know, precisely, what needs to be corrected.
We would like to know, for sure, whether an update to the Gazette template is expected soon
Thanks

Please update the template. A new version is available now with PHP 8 support.

Hello cdf12345

Please use this CSS to

Template Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS

@media (min-width: 1400px){
    .sppb-row-container {
        max-width: 1140px;
    }
    .com-content .sppb-row-container {
        padding: 0px;
    }
}

Please use Smart Search instead of Search.

Best regards

Thanks Ofi,
the first two problems are fine.
As for the search, I know that the new "Smart Search" must be used, but the magnifying glass icon at the top right does not work. I would like the lens to remain and, by clicking, the window opens like now.
Thanks again

Hi Ofi,
with the update I solved many problems, thanks.
We still have an issue with the "Popular Tags" in the top right search (top right magnifier... see image).
There are 2 problems:

  1. The tags are the last in alphabetical order (and not the "Popular Tags");
  2. If you click a tag, an error page "0 Class "JEventDispatcher" not found". It seems to take the old "search" and not the new one. But we don't know how to fix it.
    Thanks again

Please take a full site backup with Akeeba Backup in ZIP format and share here. Follow this tutorial. I will check it on my localhost.
