Hi,

I’ve add the JA Antares template to my new site, but I don’t know how to make 3 colour boxes like the demo page.

see this >> http://www.joomlart.com/templates_demo.php?template=ja_antares.

Could anyone tell me how to do this??

Many thanks!!

Gary

Hi garyleungky,
if you want to display 3 colour boxes on your site. you have to change some code in index.php file.
like this:
+ open index.php in templates folder, you will see

# TEMPLATE CONFIGURATIONS ##########
####################################
#support extra color themes
$ja_color_themes = array(‘blue’,’orange’,’green’); // You can add more color array if needed
####################################
# Change the width of the template
$ja_width_default = ‘narrow’; // ‘narrow’: 800×600; ‘wide’: 1024×768; ‘auto’: fluid width
# default color
$ja_color_default = ‘blue’; //blank for default, else pick one of in extra color themes $ja_color_themes
#font size default
$ja_font_size_default = 3;
# Enable users option
$ja_tool = 3; // 0: disable all; 1: disable color, enable screen; 2: enable color, disable screen; 3: enable all.
# Choose your prefer Menu Type
$ja_menutype = 1; // 1: Split Menu; 2: Son of Suckerfish Dropdown Menu; 3: Transmenu;
# END: TEMPLATE CONFIGURATIONS ##########

and now i think you can customize this temp for your site.

Thank for reading and goodluck

If this doesn’t explain it for you ( in other words, if you are asking about the user 8 module and so on, this is something you need to add as a module suffix ( modules and then edit the module, you will see a field that is set as module suffix. Here you enter the proper suffix ( -green, -yellow or similar, not sure what exactly the suffixes are for this template )

Good luck

Can you spell this out a bit more. I’m a noobie:p. I can’t get the 3 color boxes to appear. I don’t see any module that references this in the Modules section, and I tried to modify the template to no avail.

Thanks for any help.

If you have no module published in this positions you will see no colored boxes. 😉

When you have modules published in the position user8, user9 and/or top, you have to click on this mosule (in the backend) where you can configure the module. There will be a field named “Module Class Suffix”. Here you have to fill in the class-suffix of the color that you want this position to be. Look in the tutorial for the right suffixes.

Hope it helped you.

Kind Regards,
Peter

I got it…Thanks Swemmel.

If anyone else has this issue. Basically, you have to create 3 NEW modules from the Joomla admin backend. Create 3 modules… one in the User 8 position, User 9 position, and Top position. Then in the module_suffix field, enter in -blue, -green, or -orange (based on this template).

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi,
I’m using the ja_antares template, which is indeed very good.
However, the only colors that can be used for the components’ background colors (CSS suffix) are, as far as I understood, -green, -blue or -orange. How and where can I adapt the template if I want to use other colors? For instance, I’d like to use -red, -yellow, -black as background colors for the components…. Thank you very much in advance for any advice on this 🙂

Hi,

You have to modify the css-file. You can copy one block for the colors and modify it to the color you want. You have also to modify the images that are used, to the color needed.

Kind Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,
OK, I modified the CSS and cloned the existing images in order to generate the ones that I need for my new “-red” CSS suffix. And it works! Many thanks for your help.
