Hello everybody,

first of all I would like to thank you for creating this nice template for Joomla, it helps so much!
Then I’m more thankful to make this forum alive. For the beginers like me it’s very precious and participated to my choice of using this template.

I’m stuck on two problems here, could you give me a hint please?
Here is my test site :
http://testmu.net16.com

question 1.
I would like to put an image in the background (not in the main neither in the div but the bigest background in the white space).

I tried to do it with bgmax but when I do it, it’s the color on the top that disappear (purple and green). Plus the image load everytime I click on a link and I feel its unconfortable.

question 2
I’d like to put a color in the background of the left pannel. I guess its in the css but I didnt find the place to change the code.. Then I would like the column to go from the top of the page until the bottom (and not stop in the actual left pannel that is short) so maybe i have to increase the size of the left pannel too?

Well it uses T3 framework blank, copied and renamed.
Does it make a big difference?

Well..

After 1 week blocked on this stupid problem
A friend of mine helped me on this.

I put the image of the violet and green png on #ja-wrapper
(this rule has to be created in the template.css because it doen’t exist yet.

and I put the background image in body (still in template.css)

To put a background in the left pannel, I had to create a png of 1px height and width of the width of the column I want (this I already did) and put it in #ja-mainbody (still in template.css, but have to create the rule because it didn’t exist yet.)
and complete like this :
#ja-mainbody{
background: transparent url(url of the image) repeat-y top left;
}

Now,
can somebody explain me where I can remove the space on the top please? Because I want my column to go until the green horizontal menu… And I can’t find the place where I can remove this space…
And please, can somebody tell me how to remove the colour of the left pannel? Because I don’t want color inside.. I tried a lot of things but didnt succeed yet.

Thanx..

Remove this code from http://testmu.net16.net/templates/luanda/css/template.css file


#ja-container .main {
padding: 20px 0 0;
}

Find code from http://testmu.net16.net/templates/luanda/css/template.css file


div.ja-moduletable, div.moduletable {
margin-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background: #F7F7F4; <--remove this line
}


div.ja-moduletable h3, div.moduletable h3 {
background: #F7F7F4; <--remove this line
color: #52486F;
padding: 5px;
border-bottom: 0;
}


div.ja-moduletable .ja-box-ct, div.moduletable .ja-box-ct {

my website test is : http://testmu.net16.net

hello kohand,
thank you very much for your answer!! it worked perfectly.
I think I found some of these answers before you gave them to me, but I realize now that I had a problem with cache and updates. So when I thought it didnt work it was because in fact I coundt see the changings..

So, in the admin, I went to the template menu and selected :
Optimize CSS : None
Optimize JS : None

and I feel like the update work much better now (if it can help some of you…)

Then I’m trying to work with Firebug and Webdev firefox toolbars. But I cannot identify what and where I have to make the changes…
For example now I would like the background to be transparent, I mean white background with opacity 50% for example. (to be able to see the image of the two persons (the background only of the part that contain the main column and the left and right columns..)
first I dont know how to identify the div. According to this site, it should be #ja-wrapper. First, this would be a problem because I already have an image there (violet and green one) But when I inspect elements with firebug, I find the class “main clearfix”that contain exactly the part I want to change…

so I made a png of 1px that I would like to assign to the background with transparency (adress absolute : http://testmu.net16.net/templates/luanda/images/indent1.png ) and I dont know where to put it.

Please explain me how to do ?

Because I have other changes, and I cannot find the way to do it for the same reason.. :
– remove the module on the bottom (the one with the T3 logo)
– remove the “You are here” and put a copyright in the place of this breadcrumb
– use a breadcrumb in french (I wrote in french in the language file but it didnt change anything, I looked at a lot people that have the same problem but didnt find any solution yet..
– put a logo on the top left banner (there should be one but it disappeared and I don’t know why

Well maybe if I knew better how to use my tools (firebud and webdev) I would be able to find the solutions to these questions.. Could you help me in a way or another please?

<blockquote>- remove the module on the bottom (the one with the T3 logo)</blockquote>
Login backend–>Extensions–>Template manager–>your template–>layout tab–>edit default layout–>remove this code

<block name="footer" type="footer"></block>
<blockquote>- remove the “You are here” and put a copyright in the place of this breadcrumb</blockquote>
Find this code from<joomla url>modulesmod_breadcrumbstmpldefault.php file

echo JText::_('MOD_BREADCRUMBS_HERE'); <-- modify code by your way

Hello khoand, thank you very much for your reply.
for the block on the bottom, I removed it on the file located here:
mysite/plugin/system/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks/footer.php

(I removed all these lines :
[PHP]<?php
$t3_logo = $this->getParam (‘setting_t3logo’, ‘t3-logo-light’, ‘t3-logo-dark’);
if ($t3_logo != ‘none’) : ?>
<div id=”ja-poweredby” class=”<?php echo $t3_logo ?>”>
<a href=”http://t3.joomlart.com” title=”Powered By T3 Framework” target=”_blank”>Powered By T3 Framework</a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

maybe the effect is the same that you told me going in the backend?

for the breadcrumbs I still don’t understand. I found the file but not the code. Should I add it?
then I have no idea of how I should modiy it, to replace with what? ..

I first found how to change the “YOU ARE HERE”. It’s in the language file, located in
mysite/language/fr-FR/fr-FR.tpl_mytemplate.ini
>> folder FR because my site is in french (and I specified it in the backend also)
>> in my case this file didn’t exist. So I created it, I pasted it from the file located in
mysite/templates/mytemplate/ and it worked..
But i don’t understand why the breadcrumb is in caps… I think the style is called “breadcrumbs pathway” (but I’m not sure) but I can’t find it yet.

Hello Kohand,

I had something totally different in this file…
I deleted and replaced it with your code, and it didn’t change anything :s

now I’m trying to re-design it because for the moment it’s very bad..
I would like to have something saying “Vous êtes ici :” (means “you are here in french) then home, an arrow, the menu.
But I don’t know how to put an arrow after “home”. The arrow only come if there is a third level menu.

The file I give you belongs Joomla 1.6. File you need is: <joomla url>pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultblocksnavhelper.php file
<blockquote>

Could you give me a snapshot to illustrate it?
<blockquote>But i don’t understand why the breadcrumb is in caps… I think the style is called “breadcrumbs pathway” (but I’m not sure) but I can’t find it yet.</blockquote>
This code causes it. File: <joomla url>/templates/ja_t3_blank/css/template.css


#ja-navhelper .main {
text-transform: uppercase; < this code causes it
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
