Hi, I have performed the Mass Head configuration as described in the documentation.
Only the blue background is not displayed. Besides, there is a distance to the Main menu. It should look like in the demo page layout / magazine.

Could you provide a mock-up screenshot of what you currently have vs. what you’re going for?

Also, please provide the url of the site you’re working on, as well as set “Optimize CSS” to “Off” within your Template Manager–General settings.

Okay … How are you wanting your element to display?

This is the CSS that controls that element within the Purity III demo . . .


.jumbotron-primary {
background-color: #0077BB
}

Try creating a new file called “custom.css” within file path –> purity_iii/templates/css and add the above CSS rule to that file.

QUESTION:
When you installed your Purity III template, was there a quickstart + sample data option vailable?

See if that works.

purity_iii / templates / css / custom.css

This file already existed, only without content. I have
. jumbotron-primary {
background-color: # 0077BB
}
copied and stored there.
The site is still not displayed correctly.

I installed quickstart without sample data.

The custom.css is empty to start as this is the file you use to store your CSS overrides.

Please check your work.. you have a space after the “.” and “#” and no “;” at the end of the line

. jumbotron-primary {
background-color: # 0077BB
}

Should be

.jumbotron-primary {
background-color:#0077BB;
}

Have fun!

To chirm in and to clarify something: If you simply want it to have a heading and a simple text below, you can use the settings in the menu manager. Go to the menu “praxis” and click on the tab “Page display options”. There are two options “masthead title” and “masthead slogan”. Fill these out and you will have the usual background (according to your theme) with styled text. What you have done (by following the documentation) is adding a custom module to the masthead position. If you choose this more advanced path you would need to style this manually as described by support above. However your content options are unlimited here.

Oh and a hint because that just happened to me: If you are using the developer version and update to the stable version, the position title changes from masshead to masthead. So don’t be surprised if your custom module is suddenly vanished, just change the module position from masshead to masthead.

Hoffe das hat geholfen!

hi jwbrett, thanks, but it doesn`t works

I have tried it, like johnannesdach has described it.
I tried it with the menu manager and display options. It works. So it should look like. Here I can put over any images. This is only possible with the mast head module.
I would have liked the solution as shown, only the mast head module.

I am so glad you have added that bit to your post!

I am stick on something slightly different, but still related to that masshead area. I installed the earlier version of template and used the masshead position to have a banner ad Component. It worked a charm.

However, now I have upgraded to the stable template, the banner does not appear here (I have checked set-up, seems okay).

Your point about the name of the position changing is almost certainly the issue, BUT – I don’t have the ‘masthead’ option, just the old Masshead, that doesn’t work.

Is there something I need to do to see the new masthead as a position?

Thanks

@richtrfc: No need to see it – I didn’t either – just type in masthead and hit enter.
@joomlart support: BTW i just looked into the templateDetails.xml and found a position called “mast-col” which is obviously also in the list, but choosing this doesn’t leed to any module being actually displayed.

Excellent – I did the same and it worked too. Thanks for pointing that out, if you hadn’t posted that it would have been driving me mad for weeks!

Also sorry for hijacking the thread!
