Joomla Templates

Big Bear, Thank you for your help with the CSS Theme colors. I was able to make the changes I needed.

I still need you help regarding modules positions, which seems very limited on this template. I need to insert a module right below an article and fix the top-nav (see image)

lordkung,
transbear breadcrumb beta

Do you want to email me super admin details and FTP and I can get in there and give you a hand to tidy these things up.

Thanks Big Bear,

I don’t mind giving you access to the server, but the fun is in doing it myself.
I did something we all should do before driving you crazy with questions and that is to “read and search the forum first”. By doing so, I was able to add a module where I wanted:

To add module - in your index.php look for:

<jdoc:include type="component" />

This is the call to Joomla to insert main content at this point.

Just add the following code before or after above line of code:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user2" style="xhtml" />

Note that user1 is already used in the template so I have used user2

Another thing I did was to move the “top-banner-468-60” to the left in order to display my random images, which I like better than a stationary logo. I also realized that the RSS image ‘bleeds’ down because it is placed on the ‘top-nav’, which isn’t bad anyway.

So, everything is working just fine and I’m hoping to publish the changes by Thursday.

Awesomeness - how about the breadcrumb - what do you think of this?

Yes!
I forgot to comment on the breadcrumb, they are coming along great. I know that by the time you are done they are going to look awesome in all your templates.

;-) I know it would seem a relatively simple thing but to get the look and feel I want I'm having to create a template override fo rthe output of the breadcrumbs fromm Joomla - there is no other way to use a larger image than the small orange arrow that is the default... (actually you can use a larger image but it breaks the layout).

I understand.

Well, the site has a new look since early this morning. Timing is very important in what I do. Hope you like what I've done so far.
It may not need much more, but if it does, I know where to go for help ;)
