Hello,
I love the new theme! I want to tweak it according to my site though, and as such, I would like to know a couple things. I know CSS, HTML, XHTML (I used to use Dreamweaver though, so my knowledge is limited), but I am not at all familiar with PHP unfortunately.

I need to add a repeating background image to the header… do I need to edit this in “index.php”?

Also, I need to have a blank space (where the default “Welcome to Joomla! message is now) that will exist on almost every page, where there will be maps of different countries. I am having trouble finding out how to remove the heading/title/written by, etc. from this space though.
Lastly, if anyone can be patient enough to answer all these questions 🙂 – I need to utilize rollover images with multiple hotspots in this same area (for the maps). Is this easily doable?

Thanks for your great templates, and I hope someone will take a few minutes to help a new Joomla user! 🙂

Hi Sam,templates/ja_pollux/images/containerwrap-bg.gif is the background image of the template.
You can also edit the following codes


#ja-containerwrap {
clear: both;
border-top: 1px solid #A7A79F;
background: url(../images/containerwrap-bg.gif) repeat-x top #FFFFFF;
}

You can place a load modules just before <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
for example

<?php mosLoadModules ( 'top',-2 ); ?>
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>

where top module will be your “maps of different countries”

Thanks so much! Any idea of how I can fix the multiple rollover images problem?
Can I just use some HTML to do this? I’ll look into your solutions above and let you know if I have any questions. Thanks again.
