Hi,

I have 3 questions:

#1. I couldn’t find the instructions on how to create the 4 custom boxes on the demo homepage, they are assigned under position-1 to position-4. I think they are “articles”? Can you share some instructions on how to create them so they look like demo site?

#2. How can I change/add new theme color outside those 8 colors comes with the template?
for example, adding the new color “red” so the header, menu and footer will be matching?

#3. I’m not sure why on my site the slideshow image show up much bigger than the image size and I have the image size set at 900×400 (per demo site setting), but they still appears larger than that and I lost the “faded” edge on both sides. See example: http://schools.district279.org/mgms/

Thanks for your help!
Emily

1) The module appears with position-1 and position-4 is Module Articles – Category and you can see the configuration it like as screenshot

or you can build quickstart JA University T3 template with sample data, you will get all configuration on JA University T3 template

2) If you want to add new custom theme, you can use this way here

3) I am not sure the configuration from JA Slideshow Lite module on your site, you can re-check it with userguide for reference here

Hi Ninja Lead,

!). I still couldn’t get this to work proper or even show up. I first created a custom HTML module and assign the position-1. Then I went to the template setting make sure “position-1” is enabled on the homepage layout. But still, it didn’t show up in the module position and the custom module is no where to be found on the homepage. What did i missed?

2). I was wondering instead creating a new theme, would it be easier if I just modify the current default theme? All I need is a different background color for the header and footer. Can you tell me where in the css I can change the color for those?

3). I did install the ja slidshow module and the setting is the same as my demo site (using quickstart), but I don’t see why the image is so big that’s taking up almost the whole screen. The image file is not that big either, about 500px x 400px. Anything else I missed?

Thank you!
Emily

I need to check #1 and #3 directly on your site, PM me admin login backend of your site and FTP account.

With #2 you can change the color header and footer pages

+ Create templates/ja_university_t3/css/custom.css file and add new rule


.t3-footer {
background: #083158 ;
}

.t3-header {
background: #0c426f ;
}

.navbar-default {
background-color: #0c426f ;
}


and change above color to suit your need.
