I’m following the customization guide/tutorial/faq here: http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/FAQs

Although I’m working with J1.6 and this was written for J1.5, I am able to use it successfully until this point. Now I am trying to change the logo in the header. I edit the template.css, and upload it, but my new logo does not appear. I clear my browser cache, make sure i have development setting (no cache), and click “JAT3 clean cache”.

My csstemplate.css file reads:
/* Logo Image —*/
h1.logo { width: 210px; height: 130px; }

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat left;
….

but my site still shows t3_logo_light_16.png. I have double-check that the correct file is uploaded to the ja_purity_iicss directory on the server and it is. The image is in ja_purity_iiiimages, and ja_purity_iii is the default template–in fact up till now tutorial steps are working fine.

I don’t know how to troubleshoot this since the template file appears to be served up by joomla php. <a href=”/~microvat/index.php” title=”Microvation”><span>Microvation</span></a>
</h1>

This anyhow can be seen on live site http://tofino.directrouter.com/~microvat

Any help appreciated, trying to learn what I can so I ask fewer questions here. Thanks!

Had a typo below and want to be sure that’s not mistaken for the problem. should read “ja_purity_iiicss” Everything the template.css and the images are under ja_purity_iii on the server ,and ja_purity_iii is running (for example, changes to default.xml default layout file reflect fine on live site).

Thanks,

The version of the template you are using needs the code edited in ja_purity_ii>core>themes>more_contrast_red>css>template.css

If you are using firebug after yuo have clicked on the element you will see template.css in the box on the right. Click on that and the css will take up the full firebug window. The hint here is in the firebug menu bar. On the left you will see the word “Edit”. To the right of that you will see the template.css with a little dropdown arrow. When you click on that dropdown it reveals the exact file location of that css file.
