I have created a Bio module following the instructions in the documentation. However, on the demo site and in the documentation, there is an image on the right side of the bio module (presumably a man hiking). I would like to know how to put an image in that area much like the demo. Thanks

I should note that the header for this module is Go.Know.Grow.

Clue: The back packer image is the module’s background image. url(
"/templates/ja_jason/images/intro-ltr.jpg"

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to use the module settings and change the background image. That said, unless the devs at JA created/edited that particular image then I do not think this is the full method to place an image in that area and match their style. However, I will play around with the background image and see what I can get. Are there other ways to change the background image for this module?

The image seems to be 900 x 600 so I guess you need to upload an image of the same size with whatever is the focus on the right side. Then just select it with the module’s background image SELECT button and SAVE. That’s all I do, but I’ve not used the Jason template.

Are there some line break tags in your text in order to shorten the lines?

Hey Tim,

So your clue got me thinking…I went ahead and just installed a local copy of the template quick start and dug into the bio module. It turns that one has to use a module class suffix of "row-image" instead of the "row-darker" that is stated in the documentation.

After changing the class suffix I went in and just uploaded my own image and name it the "into-ltd.jpg".

SOLVED> Thanks Tim

Yes, good thinking. I always install the full demo content quickstart as a reference when usually building a new site from Joomla + template.

Good luck. My wife has a mysterious bug on a big old Yew so I guess she might get your App. 🙂

Hey,

So yeah, I am going to start making it standard practice to just install a local demo install for this reason.

As for the app, I would definitely tell her to get the app. We are still in beta and plan to officially launch next month. I will send you a PM when we do.

Cheers,

Blake

Thanks. I’ll tell her.
BTW when we lived in England our garden was tended by a character called Bob Flowerdew. Maybe he would be interested in your App too 🙂

Google ‘Bob Flowerdew’ to learn more.
