Shape 5

Good day

I would like to replace these two images with my own.

Please find attached the images I would like to replace with my own


<div class="s5_wandnletter_right_50" style="background: url(&quot;http://thegapyear.co.za/images/where.jpg&quot;) repeat scroll 0% 0% / cover  transparent; height: 348px;">

Hello,

You can either overwrite your own image with the same name for the image path; example:

http://thegapyear.co.za/images/newsletter.jpg

Or you can edit the Custom HTML module markup to point it to a new image path on your server such as:

http://thegapyear.co.za/images/mynewimage.jpg

Either way will work to modify the images. If you use Firebug and hover over the images it will tell you the image source on the server.

Hello,

In addition to what Mike suggested you can also go into the Vertex admin area go to "theme specific" options and under here you can see that place where you can enter the images you desire to show in these 2 locations.

You can see an example of this in the screenshot here at the top of this page:

Regards,

I have a similar issue.

I uploaded new images and made the image file name changes in the template manager under the theme specific tab.

I changed the module position of the "Where" and "Newsletter" modules so they appear only on the "About" page instead of the "Home" page.

The modules are showing up, but the images are not. The space is reserved for the images, but its just showing the background color.

How can I get these images to show on the about page? Or is this only set up to work on the home page?

Screen shot attached.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Use a full URL path for the images instead of a sub path. This would look something like http://www.yoursite.com/images/yourimage.jpg rather than /images/yourimage.jpg

Darn. I'm still getting just grey boxes:

http://www.alebriated.com/index.php/about

images are set to:

http://www.alebriated.com/images/beautiful-portland.jpg

http://www.alebriated.com/images/based-in-portland-oregon.jpg

Your image paths are set wrong:

http://www.alebriated.com/images/http://www.alebriated.com/images/beautiful-portland.jpg

I'm an idiot. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried using the full url's:

http://www.alebriated.com/images/beautiful-portland.jpg
http://www.alebriated.com/images/based-in-portland-oregon.jpg

Hello,

You have an open element on that page somewhere in the source. I disabled your component and put back the default image paths, both of which aren't loading. If you scroll down the page on the left hand side you will notice a white "," which indicates something HTML wise is breaking the rest of the page layout. Something such as a missing > can cause an entire page layout to break and since this area uses floats that is probably the cause.

OK. I'm just gonna use a simple article with text and photo on this page. Thanks.

NP :)

You may want to find out where that open element is though, it can cause issues on other pages if its in the index.php for example.

OK. Not sure what could have caused that. Are you still seeing it?

seems fine now

OK. Must have been something with those modules "where" and "newsletter" or the images.

I'll find another way to incorporate the map and newsletter.

Alright,

Let me know if you need anything else.

In regards to:


This is because we set automatically set the path to:

So all you have to do is type in the below for the image URLs in the admin:

I still can't get this to work. Sorry guys. Screen shots attached.

Thank for the help

Got it all sorted

Can you please post a URL where this occurs so I can see first hand what's going on?

http://www.alebriated.com/index.php/about

@Jonah

I forwarded you the site credentials for this. I literally checked everything I can think of on my end and matched the Template settings to my local and live site. I am leaning towards either the server blocking the images (they actually appear in the source code properly) or perhaps an unclosed element on the page. I noticed a random  "," about 2/3 down the page on the left edge but don't see where its coming from.

Also tried replacing index/css files to stock but didn't seem to have an effect.

Thanks guys

It resolved my problem

Yeah I don't know what is going on. I'll just remove this from site. Thanks for trying to figure this out.

No worries.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

question... what you do to fix it, of course mine doesnt work

Also could this be due to upgrading to vertex 3.7 the test site I have is 3.6 which is a site shaper and cuts down on some of the questions (yeah i said cuts down LOL)

Would you be able to post a URL where this is occurring?

Thanks,

It's live but under construction still

Hello,

Could you grab a fresh copy of the Template and see if the issue still occurs? We found an open HTML element in the source and just updated the files. I assume this was breaking the floats in some way as I do not see the issue on my local copy that I just installed.

Regards,

what would be the best way to install this? download, unzip, then ftp it over... or uninstall in the admin, and re-install ?

Hi,

I find its faster to just remove / reinstall. I take around 4-5 screen captures of my back end settings and just re-apply them all at once. This just saves the time for overwriting files on the server.

This did not work I still have no image there showing up

Hmm that's odd.

Let me check with the designer to see if we can replicate this locally.

info slide is not working correctly either anymore

for the info slide fix, I just loaded the old css from the template, i had an older copy thankfully

Also for future less PITA, maybe let us know which lines to fix so we can just edit the files, i forgot I had custom coding in the template for the logo swap and the icon for the image fader... I will shoot myself later

Taking a look at your site I see No1 Shopping template?  If you need help with Eventfull and where image, please post with the template active and also you can PM me FTP and Joomla login and I can dig into it for you.

I swapped the .com and the .net

so it is www.access1alarm.com now

Hello,

Could you PM me and Jonah your Joomla/FTP. For some reason the JS is not properly applying the heights on your site but is on our test site so we will need to compare and see whats up. We don't save user credentials for security and delete them when were done so please resend them.

Thanks, this is fixed now on your site and the downloads updated. 

Great thank you, what was the problem?

I just swapped out a JavaScript call for getting the window height to a jQuery one.  No idea why the standard call didn't work as it does for us on our live demo, locally and Mike Nicoll also tested and couldn't replicate.  But either way the updated method to retrieve the window height works all around now.

Thanks

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Jonahh,

continuing the saga...

I tried publishing the tab show module to rotate the brands we carry, bot1, bot3, above col1, etc... the images disappear.

So what are the chances that whe i was posting no images before you corrected it, that if tab show was enabled on the front page it would of work?

Hello,

I took a look at the site but I don't see the tab show published.  My fix shouldn't relate to tab show images not showing.  My fix was strictly for a height that needed to be set for the container DIV that the images show in.

I unpublished it because it is a live site

Hello,

We would need to be able to see the issue on the site to figure out the cause. Can you upload a copy of the site to a development server with the Tab Show enabled so we can take a look? We don't want to be debugging on a live site. I only seem to have FTP access for your .com site but no Super User access.

Also on your home page .com site you should disable the Component Area on the Home Page since you aren't using it. That would get rid of that white box near the bottom area.

Edit: We just did an update to address some issues with old files from Vertex. This fixed the issue with the Info Slides, XML entries as well as the Full Page scroll to feature on the right hand. Not sure if this will also fix the Tab Show but try it and let me know.

on the home page I had to put a module to one of the positions to close the gap as it said in the template manager also i had to decrease the 100px padding of the container

I can't upload to a new site, you can debug on the live site. should have super user rights for the .com site if you want to look at it

Hello,

I do not have any PMs from you on this site with the Super User details for this site. My last PM from you was on 8/24/2014
