Hello

I am having a problem with the logo text and slogan. I have tried two different templates, Quartz and Uvite. When I first click to access the parameters, it shows writeable. I change the logo text and slogan to what I want and click save. When I try to view the change, the original information is still there. I go back to the parameters and it says unwriteable.

I have changed the permissions using my FTP client about 20 times now. Each time the same result. Says writeable, but as soon as I save the logo text and slogan it goes right back to unwriteable again.

Any ideas how I can change the logo text and slogan. This problem will render the templates unusable for me if I can’t get the logo text and slogan to reflect my site.

Thanks

Try to install JoomlaXplorer or extplorer first and change the permissions with one of those Joomla internal ftp programs. You can download both at http://extensions.joomla.org

There are always problems with certain files that can’t be chmodded with the desktop FTP applications, with the joomla internal ones it works to a 99,9% with these files that otherwise stay secured from being changed via FTP.

imsleepy;108121Any ideas how I can change the logo text and slogan.

In your templates folder you will see a file called params.ini. You can change the text directly in there.

I opted for choice number 2 changing the .ini file. Very simple! Thanks so much!!

I see, you do not talk about custom logos you first created in Photoshop with a new slogan you have to upload now and the ftp does not do the job, but the admin thing. I never done this way, as I always use the other way, but why not! Much luck with your site…

Scotty,

Can I make other alterations in params.ini? For example, right now my site – http://www.pan-america.org – says “best edifice” for its title. I want to change it to “bestedifice” but have the word best in white and the word “edifice” in green. How would I do this? Thanks.
