Hi joomlaArt

Have a hooefullt quick question

In prevous joomla templates i have used there was a custom.css file associated with the template. With this i could add my custom css then via the joomla menu manager associate class to each menu/opage to pick up the specific css.

Is this option avalible using this template or is there another method?

Hi aurumholdings

In your template manager you could have a page associated to a specific profile

you can modify the profile with your custom files if you want and after add your customized profile to the pages

i hope to have correctly understood your question

Thanks for your reply, Yes you have understood me correctly.

So I created a new profile called Homepage and using the page assignments associated my home page to the home page profile.

Quick questions

Why can i not change the options within this homepage profile (they are not selectable)

How do I had a custom css file for this profile. For example I have some css styling to change modules on this home page, however I use the modules elsewhere on the site also and dont want the css to change globally

Kind Regards

Now i can see the a lot of options to style this profile and

Hi aurumholdings

If you check better on the right you will see a flaggable square with a green arrow you must select there your choice

I think you are referring to the theme styling — In every profile you can assign to it a theme color, the files that handle the styles of the themes are in /templates/your_template/core/themes/your theme

here you have two folders css and images you can manage the template.css for every theme

Fantastic thanks for your help.

One other quick question

I am using the Ja news pro module and i can see in the demo that each category is a different colour on mouse over

Do you know how this achieved?

Hi aurumholdings

This effect is achieved with the profile override setting in your template manager

We take for example the Entertainment Category

Go to menus—>Magazine–>Entertainment you will see on the right it’s characteristics the ordering the access the

Menu Item Type and the ID, in our case the ID is 561

Goto Extensions –> Template Manager –>JA_TELINE_IV – Default–> down left you will see Page Assignments at the

page with ID 561 is assigned the cyan-color in this way you can change the color for all categories showed in Ja news

pro module

Regards
