I need to get the banner to be side-by-side with the logo of the newspaper.

I’ve tried what I can think of, but no dice.

Also, if I can remove some of the white space between the banner row and the navigation bars, that’d be great too.

JA Rave on J1.7

Thanks,
Steve

Can you PM me a super admin logon and an ftp account and I will make the changes for you then post back here showing what I changed. Please include a link to this thread in your PM so I can find my way back.

Phill, information sent. Right now both are in the module “topbanner”.

Sorry, I cannot get the ftp details you supply to work. There are normally 3 details required, hostname, username and password.

Thanks for the updated ftp information.

Unfortunately, I am trying to edit your css and am getting permission denied errors. It seems that this ftp account does not have write permissions to the template.css file

For instance I am trying to edit templates>ja_rave>css>template.css from

#ja-mainnav { padding-top: 25px;}


to

#ja-mainnav { padding-top: 0px;}


to remove that white space.

Can you review for me?

Phill,

I had the same problem. But it’s writable from the joomla backend.

How are you writing to it from the J back end?

Please try and get the permissions changed so I can edit it properly. Speak to your host if you cannot do it. It should take them a couple of seconds only.

Template manager > JA Rave > edit template.css

Phill, here is where I was editting template.css:

extensions -> template manager -> Templates Tab -> JA_Rave Details -> edit template.css

I’m not sure why the FTP can’t write to the file. I think it may be because Joomla changes the permissions to it while back-end is logged in? I’m schooled on 1.5, I’m new to 1.7.

I made the change to get the space out from above the navigation. Still not sure how to make the logo and advert side-by-side.

I will take a look later for you and see if I can edit that file from the back end. Normally I prefer to do it via ftp. Not sure why the file is set to read only. Really is better to speak to your host and change the file permissions the correct way.

Since the file is writable thru the backend, I don’t think it’s a permissions issue, and the FTP user has 777 permission to root and subcontent in the account manager. So I’m just as puzzled as you are.

No, the fille is definately set to read only. All others are set to read and write. Do you have cpanel access you could PM me so I can take a look for you?

Phill,

I know you are busy- have you found a resolution for putting the logo and banner side-by-side?

I was thinking if there was a way to arrange them using a table or by removing the clearfix class, that would do it, but I wouldn’t know how to do either.

Open templates/ja_rave/css/template.css around line 777 and add the code highlighted in red below.

div.moduletabletoplogo, div.customtoplogo, div.moduletabletopbanner, div.bannergrouptopbanner {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

}
