Helix Position Spacing & SP Easy Image Issue

Hi again,

I am resubmitting this request for assistance as I have had no indeication that any of your tech team has actually seen it. I sent it in on Thursday but it is showing as having been received 1 day ago..... thanks

I am using the shaper_helixultimate - Default template for the first time on a sandbox site to create a new Joomla 4 site. I am generally happy with the template etc. but have a couple of issues I need your help with:

Home page:

  1. how do I remove all the extra white space on that page? I am not using the home page as an article page with content …just modules
  2. how do I increase the width of the left & right module positions?

SP Easy Image issue: Photography page: slide show at the bottom using SP Easy Image has no navigation options I could find to allow people to go from one set of images to the next and back again without having to go to the main menu to go back to that page and start all over again. And the thumbnail images seem too large and are cropped badly…no way to customize that? If not I will use a different image extension.

Thanks...Jay

Hi Jay,

Glad that you have made it bout the extra white space in your Home page:)

And I am not sure about the gallery issue you are talking about. It is an free extension from us though. If you do not have any more queries then you may accept my most useful answer in order to close the post.

Best Regards

Hi there!

Thanks for your query.

  1. I have visited your site. You have loaded the page title two times there, and the title color is white, so it wasn't visible in a white background! I have changed it to black temporarily. Here is a screenshot:

https://prnt.sc/1uiim1r

You can use the following code in your custom CSS to change the page title color:

.sp-page-title .sp-page-title-heading, .sp-page-title .sp-page-title-sub-heading {
    color: #000;
}

Please remove one of them as it seems redundunt!

And there are padding value also making your white space bigger, but you haven't loaded anything within the component area! https://prnt.sc/1uiiuhk

You can remove the padding value from the main body or the following custom CSS for your home page only to hide it. I have used a unique clas of the home page:

body.itemid-101 #sp-main-body {
    display: none;
}
  1. You can try to remove padding of the right module to get it wider:
    #sp-left .sp-module, #sp-right .sp-module {
     padding: 30px;
    }

    Note: Path towards custom CSS: Extensions>Templates>Styles> Click on your current default template name then choose Template Options. Then find custom CSS within the custom code.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards

Hi Rashida,

Thank you for the response. I have managed to change the width of the left and right module positions so that is now solved. I do still need help getting rid of all the white space on the home page which seems to be reserved for home page content. Since I do not have any home page article content I need to get rid of all that white space below the banner.

I did remove the repeated 'Title' position so am not sure what else to do to remove all that white space. Thanks....Jay

Hi Rashida,

Adding this code: body.itemid-101 #sp-main-body { display: none; } to the custom.css did remove half of the white space where the home page content would normally sit but it still left some space. So we are almost there :)

Hi Rashida,

Well, I have had success getting rid of the white space on the home page by figuring out how to remove the home content position. So that is OK now. However, I still need answers to my questions re: SP Easy Image issue: Photography page: slide show at the bottom using SP Easy Image has no navigation options I could find to allow people to go from one set of images to the next and back again without having to go to the main menu to go back to that page and start all over again. And the thumbnail images seem too large and are cropped badly…no way to customize that? If not I will use a different image extension. Thanks...Jay

Hi Rashida,

I decided to use a different Image Gallery Module because I am not too happy with the limitations of the SP Easy Image Gallery extension so we can close this support ticket. Thanks for your assistance....Jay
