I love this template. Unfortunately, for the site I wish to use it on there are a couple of minor things I would like to adjust.

I would like to get rid of the current logo completely and move the dropdown menus left to fill its space so I have more room for menus. The I would like to create a position above the menus and the background image (120px high) for my flash logo.

Is this possible and how is it done?

You need to modify the html file, in templatesja_quartzindex.php, or via your admin control panel through the template manager (provided index.php is writable).

Cheers, I knew that bit. I have removed the logo entry which brings the menu’s accross as you can see from my development server here. ( http://www.supsurf.co.uk ).

Adding some extra padding to JA-headerwrap will bring all the stuff down but now I need a new centered module position above the menu’s but I am just not sure how to code that.

If you want to create a new module, add;

<div id="your_module_css">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="your_module_name" />
</div>

If you put that into your header wrapper, and apply the following CSS to your stylesheet:

#your_module_css {
height: xxx; width: xxx;
margin: 0px auto;
}

The margin: 0px auto; tag will center the content. Create a custom module with that name and add whatever you want in there. That’s if you want it as a module. Otherwise, instead of adding:

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="your_module_name" />

Replace that with whatever you want to have in that area.

Thanks for your help. That is now working fine. I have just slapped any old image in there until I have got the correct graphics sorted.
