Hi,

Thanks for putting togeather a great template.
I am working on my site to understand the vertex/template concept and have a few editing questions....

a) I want to change the color of DONATE /GET INVOLVED buttons? Where do i do this ?

c) On the top right corner where the DONATE button exists - how do i change the link to custom url like paypal etc

d) In Bottom area, where the Newsletter and Donate today exist - How do I change the background from gray color to something else.

e) I understand that for Newsletter, the SIGNUP button is just a visual with no code behind it, - can you point me to some extension/code snippet/module, that I can fire away once some one wants to join the newsletter.

f) Also, Both Login & Register open in a popup, which is fine, but i want to change the background from dark grey to something else. where should i change the CSS code for this ??

g)Also, when an user is logged in, on the HOMEPAGE, I do not see a "Hi, UserName" type message, which is very typical for all CMS/Ecomm websites nowadays. Instead I see only LOGOUT link. Is there a way to have the " Hi username" shown on the top.
Please advise code and appropriate module/location for add this code snippet. I am ok with location as long as it somewhere in the top right corner appropriately located.

h) Also, I edited the FEATURED ARTICLES to show my own, however, I see a small image with number [ I believe this is the date], which is confusing and irrelevant on the homepage. How can i delete this ? I am positive this is the date, because,when I Click the read more, it takes me to the full article, where in this location i see the date + month. However, the month detail is not shown on the homepage featured artciles, making just the date redundant. How to fix this ?

g) Also, I am planning on a image gallery/media download extension to add to my website. However, I want to show this to only logged [registered] users ? Are there any compatible extensions and how do i show this only to logged users ?

Appreciate your support and help.

Hello,

A lot of these questions can be answered with a forum search or by using the Firebug extension. For future posts please be sure to utilize these tools to save time.

a) Template.CSS - Line 578

.s5_button {
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #991919 0%, #750C18 100%) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 0 0 6px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    color: #F3ECB2;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 15px;
    padding: 9px 17px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

c) In the Template Manager under Layout

d) Using a different module class suffix http://shape5.com/demo/compassion/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=49

e) You will need some sort of mailing extension for this feature. You will have to search Joomla.org to find one that works for you

f) s5box.css - line 46

#cboxContent {
    background: url("../images/s5_backgroundrepeat.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 0 5px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.Cool;
    padding: 5px;
}

g) This is not a feature of the Template and would require custom programming additions. You can look at the structure of our Shopping Bag template for an idea of how to do this.

h) Need to see this live

i) You should be able to set user level access in the module manager
