Hi,

I want to adapt the template ja-business:

1) logo. How can I use a logo with a hight bigger than 66 pixels?
The original logo is 188×66 pixels.

2) how can I change the order of the four items under the slideshow on the frontpage

now there is:
a) curabitur mollis
b) ced velit ligula
c) anean vitae puris
d) cras aliquet imperdiet

and I want it this way:

b) ced velit ligula
a) curabitur mollis
c) anean vitae puris
d) cras aliquet imperdiet

how can I change that?

thanks

To change the size of the logo, you need to go into your template.css file and locate the lines relating to the “Header/Logo.” From there you can modify the relative css parameters to increase the size of the height and width for the space where your logo occupies. You should also disable css compression in your within your Template Manager (in your administration backend)

Also, you will need to make sure that you edit the css rule that indicates the logo image as the background – and make sure that you change it to whatever you named your logo (including whatever file format your logo is).

Which browser do you use? If you use Firefox, I HIGHLY recommend you install the “Firebug” add-on – as this will help you identify which css rule(s) is controlling a particular item.

As for the order of the slideshow items, you can achieve this within the Slideshow2 module parameters itself (within your Module Manager). Open up your JA Slideshow2 Module and look under “Resource Settings.” There you will see an option for “Sort Order.” Choose “Ascending.”

THEN what you will need to do is rename your slides so that there is a value by which the module will be able to order the slides appropriately . . .

for example . . .
– 1ced velit ligula
– 2curabitur mollis
– 3anean vitae puris
– 4cras aliquet imperdiet

In the example above, the trigger for the “ascending order” is the 1,2,3,4 as the first character of each item. You can choose any way to do it you like. JA usually names their slideshow images sl-1, sl-2, sl-3, etc. If “ascending order” is selected, then – because the names of the slides are identical except for the number at the end – the slides will display in accordance with the part that is different … i.e. the number.

Make sense?

Thanks a lot for all the detailed information.

About the “order”. In fact what I want is to change the order of the icons (the sun, the piechart, the lightning and the textballoons).
I want the ‘piechart’ first, then the ‘sun’ then the ‘textballoons’ and then the lightning.
How can I achieve this?

PS: which forum are you using here on joomlart?

Thanks!!

As those items look like articles, how about looking into your article manager and seeing if you can change the order there?

Thanks for your swift reply,

No I already tried changing the order of the articles, but that does not change the order of the ICONS, I think the icons are coded in the module.
Just have a look at the ja business template to see what I mean (look at the icons under the slideshow. (the ICONS resemble the sun, the piechart, the lightning and the textballoon)

thanks!!

Hi there
When I try to add my own images, by renaming my images according to the names used by the slider module, Joomla renames and replaces my images with the blank templates one after I go back to the front end to view the changes?
Can I change the template default image names to my own image names? If so – in which file do I mahe the changes?
Thanks!

Can you elaborate a bit more with regard to your particular issue?

Are you trying to change the logo image? Other images (and, if so, which ones)?

In short, you are absolutely able to rename any image you want to what you want . . . you would simply need to make sure you are specifying the correct image name and path within the respective image call elements (i.e. articles, modules, custom html).

Hi Tom
I actually do not know what all the image call elements are, so I have tried to change by simply substituting my images for the ones in C:wampwwwimagesresizedimagesstoriesdemo. I add my photo, resized to match the sample placeholder blank image, but when I view it on the front end, it does not work.
Obviously there is a procedure for doing this – can you tell me what steps I need to take? Also – how can I change the template file names to my own file names?
Thanks for the help!

Are you clearing your cache – both JAT3 cache and your browser cashe?

It have tried to do that now – still my images disappear, and the template one re-appear after I refresh.

Again – it there a procedure for this? As the Templates are sold with the idea of editing them, I would expect a walk-through type of document to assist me.

As a test I have tried deleting the entire Demo sub-folder in the Images/Stories/Demo Joomla installation folder, only to have it magically re-appear when I refresh the front end?

Hi kobus88,

Tom kindly asked me to help out in this case. It took ages to find the image source but I found it. Please see the attachment.

You have to view the html-source of you article in the editor. Every editor has a button to see the html source of it. There you can define your own images and thumbnails.

I hope this helps you and solves the problem.

Cheers

Frank
