Whenever I open Photoshop, it first tells me that I haven’t got the proper font installed, and therefore I cannot change the text. In the “font” folder, there is only one file saying that the template uses Arial in it’s logo.

Also, in Photoshop under Layers, I haven’t got “Light Red”, “Dark Blue” etc. like shown here, instead I have some weird layers (picture). The tutorial also mentiones “logo.psd” and “logo2.psd”, while I have “logo-home.psd” and “logo-subpage.psd”. Have I downloaded a wrong package or read the wrong tutorial?

I’ll appreciate any given help.

Hi.

I tend not to use the source files to edit the logo. I prefer to find the logo.png file (for example in templates/ja_norite/images/logo.png or templates/ja_rasite/images/light_green/logo.png) and look at it’s dimensions.

I would then create my own png logo in photoshop in the same dimensions and just upload it to my server to over-write the default template logo.

I need to make sure the directories are writable – and usually I need to change both permissions and ownership on a newly installed template. I can then upload and overwrite the default logo.

Finally, if my logo is going to be bigger than the default logo, I open up template.css file for the relevant template and change the width and height propertiies for the logo image (found in two places).

Well, I considered that as an option, but I like the font very much, so is there any way for me to edit the original logo?

Hi all,

I have just updated the ja_norite_source.zip file (edit two logo files.). You can download again.

Thanks.

I have the same problem and I have a custom logo that is not a regular size.I tried to change the logo in CSS and no longer have the original logo dimensions. I also delted the Norite flash header and want to place my new logo in that area. That section is now unwritable though all the permissions are 755.
To add to the confusion, I have a widget I need to add and I’m not having any luck with that either, though I found it easy to insert in an old Joomla template I bought on a different site.
I’m a newbie at all of this. A little help?

Actually, it wasn’t a solution, just a question. I was out of town when it arrived, then the ticket was closed. I tried to re-open but they closed it again without comment. What’s the solution to this issue?
Thanks!

This is the result I get with every ticket. I wait for a reply, and either one never comes or the reply is just another question. Then the ticket is closed and I never get a solution, I have three posts on this site about the same slideshow problem and have yet to get a solution.

I have to reiterate my previous complaint about Joomlart customer service. It is non-existent.:((

Sorry for my late reply.

1) you open the file: templatesja_noritelayoutsblocksheader.php and find the following code:
[PHP]
<?php
$siteName = $this->sitename();
if ($this->getParam(‘logoType’)==’image’): ?>
<h1 class=”logo”>
<a href=”index.php” title=”<?php echo $siteName; ?>”><span><?php echo $siteName; ?></span></a>
</h1>
<?php else:
$logoText = (trim($this->getParam(‘logoType-text-logoText’))==”) ? $config->sitename : $this->getParam(‘logoType-text-logoText’);
$sloganText = (trim($this->getParam(‘logoType-text-sloganText’))==”) ? JText::_(‘SITE SLOGAN’) : $this->getParam(‘logoType-text-sloganText’);?>
<div class=”logo-text”>
<h1><a href=”index.php” title=”<?php echo $siteName; ?>”><span><?php echo $logoText; ?></span></a></h1>
<p class=”site-slogan”><?php echo $sloganText;?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
[/PHP]you can modify code rendering the logo

2) here is css code: /templates/ja_norite/css/template.css

/* Logo Image —*/
h1.logo { height: 42px; width: 163px; }

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo2.png) no-repeat left;
display: block;
height: 42px;
width: 163px;
}

h1.logo a span { position: absolute; top: -1000px; }

/* Logo Text —*/

I see that sjissacs didn’t have the courtesy to give any thanks for your solution, tienhc. Some people forget that we are getting highly technical templates for not much money. If we had to develop them ourselves, would cost us a lot of money to build and debug. A little gratitude would be nice. Btw, for myself, I’ve always found Joomlart tech support to be very timely, polite, and helpful. It is important to provide a very detailed description of the problem, otherwise questions are inevitable.

Oh, I see that a “thanks” was given above.

Thanks Joomlart,
railer
