Joomla 1.5

[Guest salan]

Ok, so I have joomla installed and working with the sample data in it.

Trouble is for some reason, I just can't get my head around how to do simple things like change the logo picture!

I have chosen a template that looks ok for what I want.

I have watched countless you tube vids on how to do this ,that and the other, but I just it just doesn't seem to be clicking.

So has anyone got any 'idiots guide' to modding Jommla please?

I have not a single artistic bone in my body (which doesn't help lol). But I am familiar with sql php etc.

I understand the concept, but to me for something that is supposed to be dynamic, I seem to nee to go and edit the template code a lot.

So can anyone help please?

Normally the logo is a jpg/phg/gif file in your template folder.

 

So have a look through there and see if you can spot it.

 

Then download it (via FTP for instance) modify to your new needs (keep same dimensions to start with) and re-upload.

 

Then if you need to change its size you'll neeed to start editing the template css file (and thats when the real fun starts )

 

What's the template BTW and is there a link to your site?

 

regards
