I would like to use a header file on this template that is 960 x 190.  I do not need the font resizer, login, register or seach modules.  How can I accomplish this?  Thank You!

Hello, I am sorry but I do not know what you mean by a header file.

here is the live site

http://www.vermontfallenfamilies.org/index.html

the top is the header.  Or it could be named the s5_logo.png if I could figure out how to make it fit all the way across the top instead of just the little box you are using.  Thanks.

Hello, it would require some custom programming to really do it right, but this might get what you are looking for.

1. Upload a blank s5_logo.png so nothing is shown in the file.

2. Unpublish search, login and register modules

3. Add the following to the bottom of your template.css file:

#s5_logo_search_wrap {
background:(../images/header.png) no-repeat top left;
}

4. uploading header.png to the template's images folder.

Hi again Mike ... that did not work.  Here is the url to the site I am making

http://www.vermontfallenfamilies.org/joomla/

Your idea removed the "clipped off" header that was in there.  But it did not insert my header.  Do you have any other ideas for me?  Again, thanks!

#s5_logo_search_wrap {
background:url(../images/header.png) no-repeat top left;
}

Thank you so much.  That inserted the header.png into my site, but ... now I need to have that space made high enough to hold the image.  Please look:

http://www.vermontfallenfamilies.org/joomla/

My header.png file is 960 x 190.  Can you please help me change the code so that the whole header.png shows up?  Thanks.

I love this template!!

Hello, you can add:

height:204px;

to that same section of code but that will probably need to modify the background image of the site as well. That image is images/s5_header_bg.png

I'm having the same problem: love the BASICS template- but HOW do I drop in my own company logo instead of the BASICS logo (header) and make it the FULL WIDTH of the page? (I've uploaded my own image replacement, but can't see how to make the size right...)?

Look forward to hearing from you Smiley
Cheers

Hello, to create your own logo use the psd file in the downloads area for the logo and save the file as s5_logo.png and upload it to templates/basics/images/ and make sure to over-write the existing one.

If I've misunderstood your question please post a url and mention specifically what you would like to modify.

Hi Mike ... I thought I had this solved, but I think there's one more thing to do.  Please look

http://www.vermontfallenfamilies.org/joomla/

My header.png image sits too far down on the page.  how can it fix it so it's up closer to the top?  We are trying to get more real estate for our content here.  Many thanks!

Hello Mike
Impressed with the speedy replies on this forum - thank you!
Re the header image: here's my site, where my uploaded gold image for "ThinkShop"945 x 189 pixels - but is obviously showing as much smaller:

http://www.thinkingskills.biz

- t's something to do with the image being incorporated into the area used by AAA (font size) and the HOME button. So where do I tweak the display sizing for the header image/logo please?  I'm sure other people too, want their logo (banner) to go right across the page... Smiley
