Hi,

We recently purchased the Draco template. You can PM me if you need to verify my purchase as it was done under a different email account.

In your example screenshot, you have an image on the top portion of the website. I'm assuming that this is somehow related to being a "showcase"?

I'm just not that familiar with Joomla so I don't know how to put an image up there?

We installed this running Joomla 2.5...

Any advice would greatly be appreciated...

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes this is indeed the 'showcase' module position. For our demo we used the ImagesSlideShow module which comes packaged with your template (mod_slideshow).

If you haven't already done so install the module via your Extensions Manager. Once installed you should see it listed in your Module Manager as ImageSlideShow. Clicking in to this item will bring up its parameters which you can set something like the following

Show Title - No
Enabled - Yes
Module Position – Showcase
Image Directory - images/sampledata/parks/animals *
Height in pixels - 200
Width in pixels – 924
Transition Delay - 50 (change to taste)
Next Image Delay - 4000 (change to taste)

* Your slideshow will read the images from a folder of your choice. In using Joomlas Images folder you can navigate to Site -> Media Manager to upload your images.

Hope this helps

Any further questions feel free to ask

Awesome thanks for the quick response! Everyone here at work loves this theme!!

I will go ahead and give it a shot. Originally I don't think I installed the mod_slideshow.

Is it possible to make the part that says, "DRACO" clickable so that it acts as a home button?

You can with a few changes to the template files.

Firstly open your templates index.php (../templates/j51_draco/index.php). Just after <div id="content_header"> (LINE 63) add the following code..

[code type=html4strict]
<div id="logo">
<h1 class="logo"> <a href="index.php" title="<?php echo $siteName; ?>"><span></span></a> </h1>
</div>[/code]

Next add the following to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_draco/css/template)..

[code type=css]
#content_header {
position: relative;
}

#logo {
position: absolute;
}

#logo a {
position: absolute;
display:block;
height:100px;
width:200px;
top:200px;
left:60px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
z-index:99;
}
[/code]

.. and that should be it.

Cool I will take a look at that next.

BTW, I was able to import the mod slideshow and now I have pictures on the main header! Thanks for the tip....

Would this be the same for other templates or would the coding be different?

On our newer template the site logo is clickable by default. On the older template the code for the index.php would remain the same however the CSS may vary slightly.
