I am new to Joomla! and am taking a couple of courses on lynda.com and doing some reading as well. I am trying to build a new site for our association from this template but have much to learn still. Hoping someone can help me with a couple of initial issues?

The site is at http://torontofirefighters.org/2013websitebeta/. When a user logs in to the site it redirects them to the “Getting Started” page. How can I change this so that it reloads the homepage with all of the content available to registered members?

The other issue right now is being able to delete the “Online Banking”, “Employment Skills”, Finance and Grants”, and “Financial Services” icons that are seen above the sample text (of which I have changed the first two by adding a funeral logo and some text related tothe logo. In the remaining two module areas (user 3 and user 4 – according to the template overlay) I would like to merge those two and then post the names of our members who have died, perhaps as a news feed, although I am not sure of the best method of delivery with my limited knowledge right now).

Edit: Just noticed as well that the title bar in the browser shows, “Toronto Fire Fighters – Joomla Business Template – JA Mendozite”. Is there a global setting where I can edit that to read just “Toronto Fire Fighters”?

Thanks for the assistance and your time. No doubt I will be relying heavily on community support as well, as I learn my way through this new endeavour.

Found the page redirect in the module settings for JA Login. Still looking for help on the other two items mentioned above if anyone can lend a moment and some knowledge.

Thanks.

Hello,

1. <blockquote>The other issue right now is being able to delete the “Online Banking”, “Employment Skills”, Finance and Grants”, and “Financial Services” icons that are seen above the sample text </blockquote>

In order to remove the icon, please go to <blockquote>templates/ja_mendozite/css/template.css</blockquote>

Find each line below and remove it:

<blockquote>div.ja-moduletable.has-icon.icon1 {
background-image: url(“../images/icons/icon-module1.png”);
}</blockquote>

<blockquote>div.ja-moduletable.has-icon.icon2 {
background-image: url(“../images/icons/icon-module2.png”);
}</blockquote>

<blockquote>
div.ja-moduletable.has-icon.icon3 {
background-image: url(“../images/icons/icon-module3.png”);
}
</blockquote>

<blockquote>div.ja-moduletable.has-icon.icon4 {
background-image: url(“../images/icons/icon-module4.png”);
}</blockquote>

2<blockquote>Just noticed as well that the title bar in the browser shows, “Toronto Fire Fighters – Joomla Business Template – JA Mendozite”. Is there a global setting where I can edit that to read just “Toronto Fire Fighters”</blockquote>

The title show in homepage, then go to backend >> Main Menu >> Home menu item and setting like this capture: http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/515/3731633530.png

Hope this helps

Excellent Luna! Thanks very much!

The remaining problem I have that is related to the icons is that I can’t find the location to also remove the text that accompanies it (“Online Banking”, “Employment Skills”, etc.??

I would like to close the gap (white space) that exists between the bottom of the slideshow photo and my funeral logo and text below it. Can anyone direct me to where this is done?

And last but not least, is it possible to merge the user 3 and user 4 modules so that I can place the actual funeral information into a new singular, larger area?

Thanks again!

Hello,

1. In order to remove text “Online Banking”, “Employment Skills”, please go to back-end >> module manager >> open module with ID 121/ 123, you will see in Text Editor those text, then remove them.

2. <blockquote>I would like to close the gap (white space) that exists between the bottom of the slideshow photo and my funeral logo and text below it. Can anyone direct me to where this is done?</blockquote>

Go to this file: <blockquote>templates/ja_mendozite/css/template.css</blockquote>
Find these lines:
<blockquote>div.ja-moduletable.has-icon {
background: none no-repeat scroll center 40px transparent;
padding-top: 95px !important; >> reduce to 25px
text-align: center;
}</blockquote>

3<blockquote>is it possible to merge the user 3 and user 4 modules so that I can place the actual funeral information into a new singular, larger area?</blockquote>

You just need to disable module assigned to position user4, then go to this file:
<blockquote>templatesja_mendoziteetclayoutsdefault.xml</blockquote>

Find these lines:
<blockquote><block name=”topsl” type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″>user1,user2,user3,user4</block></blockquote>

Change to:
<blockquote><block name=”topsl” type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″ special=”right” specialwidth=”50″>user1,user2,user3</block></blockquote>

Hope this helps.
