Customization questions

Posted in: Newsmag
Post count: 38

Hi,

After going through your documentation and experimenting I still cannot figure out this:

1. Header ad: How do I move it above the top menu and main menu? I am trying to have first header banner, second top menu (logo would show there too), third the main menu. Also, Where is the background color for top menu defined? Maybe even putting all these into Style 11 (how do you create those extra ones for header)?

2. Where do I edit Blocks or create new version of those Blocks? For example, if I want to change the look of Block 2 or for Block 3 to have 3 news per row instead of 2 or put border around each news etc.? Or for Big Grid change the size of the font?

3. For Video Playlist block can I automate it for the block to pick up videos from my latest video news or I have to manually add the code for each video?

4. How do I create copy of “Newsmag Default” Sidebar as I need few of different looks.

5. Can the total width of the theme for desktop computers increased from current?

Hello recons,

1)If you want to change the banner ad to be placed above to the top menu bar require to do some additional customization through code, altering the code from top-menu.php core file like this -> http://screencast.com/t/KmYJf1j70Hzo (custom work) You can change the background-color for your Top menu from here -> http://screencast.com/t/e0yUtFlF5r6
2)If you want to change the structure of the Blocks involve custom work and this type of service is not covered by our support. Please notice that is not a simple task to do what you want and to accomplish that it is needed to do some changes in Block Templates in order to achieve as you wish, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ClTDp45b5W and also, if you want to create a new Block, you will have to use the API implementation according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
If you want to change the fonts for your Big Grid, please notice that this thing can be done from your Theme panel->Theme Fonts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dqbyADGshauw For more information about this, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-font-customization/
3)Please notice that our Video Playlist render only the ID’s which you will add in the certain field and it does not have any automatically option for latest. For more information about this feature, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-video-playlist/ If you want to add more options for this and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you.
4)Please notice that you can create a new sidebar from Theme panel, for example, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/rrNMH0jM11Q and then this will appear in Widgets Area and from there you can customize as you like -> http://screencast.com/t/65wwo2IUxRum
5)Unfortunately, please notice that our theme does not have such an option for dynamic width and we do not recommend to do that through the custom CSS code because the layout of the theme will be damaged. If you want to change the width of the theme to be in full-width mode or to be increased from current, please notice that is not a simple task and you will have to adjust the entire theme to the new width for better results. If you want to display more levels in our theme and you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!
