How do I remove the banner from the frontpage?

I disabled the banner module but the banner is still present on my frontpage.

Any help please?

Thanks

That is because it is made up of 2 images directly as part of the template.

Check out the images folder in templates>ja_tube>images and edit as required.

Thanks Phil.

It would have been alot easier to have that as a module that you can enable/disable though!

I assume if I want the image completely erased I would edit code in index.php?? Is that where the code for the banner would be???

Thanks – Still a bit of a newbie with Joomla!!!

You could do that but without something there it looks horrible.

You could just reduce the height of it by editing the following css and adding the line in red.

template.css (line 1372)

#ja-banner-top {background:#111111 url(../iages/banner-home-1.jpg) no-repeat scroll center top;
height:20px;
}

20px looks ok. You could also get rid of the url and just select a colour.

If we opt for colouring it, what do we need to do here, please?

Just remove (from the code above) the url (..images.banner-home-1.jpg) but and choose your desired colour code after background:#

Or if you are not happy editing css simplay replace the images in the templates images folder with ones of your own.

Hi,

Putting 20 px works fine in Firefox and Safari but not in IE where I still have a large black bar…

Do you have any idea why IE does not respect the 20 px ?

Probably because you have not cleared your browsers cache.

LOL thanks for the answer…

But I have the problem on different computers and since weeks…

Here is the dev address: http://dev.imbecille.net

If you can try to visualize the site in FF and IE and tell me if the dark banner is 20 px on both ?

Thanks

PS: Remember to empty your cache 😛

since you guys are working with the banner position, maybe you coukd help me out with something:
how can i have a slideshow in the banner position?
i guess i will have to make a module position out of the banner position (since it is not a module positione by default). and then i will have to put a slideshow-modue into that module position. is that right?
if yes, the question is: how can i make a module position out of the banner position? or is there a workaround?
thanks!

I am interested in this solution as well, could someone paste the CSS code and the html code so we can paste it in?
