Hi

For your first issue would you have a URL to an example?

The four modules under the slideshow uses Joomlas default 'Custom HTML' module. To create navigate to Extensions -> Module Manager -> New -> Custom HTML. Most of the modules bar the slideshow, menus and accordion module are created in this manner.

Hi

May I suggest adding the following CSS to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_horizon/css/template.css)

[code type=css].wrapper_moduleblock2 {width: 100%;}[/code]

Ciarán

It worked thanks again for the fast and accurate responds

I want to add an image in the showcase next to the slideshow on the Horizon template using a custom HTML (except if u have another suggestion ) the problem is that when i set the Custom HTML module position to showcase it shows it beneath the slideshow.

Hi

Getting the following error when trying to access your site...

Login denied! Your account has either been blocked or you have not activated it yet

Sorry my bad the account was activated but not enabled its ok now you can log in

The following will force the width of your slideshow to 750px and float your custom HTML module along side it (add to the end of your templates template.css)

[code type=css]#showcase .joomla_ass {
width: 750px !important;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
}
#showcase .custom {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}[/code]

A better solution may be to make the side image part of your slide, appearing in the exact same place in each slide. As long as you use fading rather than sliding animations the image will always appear static.

Thanks again your solution worked. I got a couple more questions:

1. When someone opens the site with mozila firefox there is a difference between the background color under the header with the background of the rest of the page, this problem doesnt show if you open the site with google chrome or internet explorer.

2. I am using your Hover module both on the sites main page and on the "ΔΙΑΓΩΝΙΣΜΟΙ" page the problem is when i change the width/height on one of the hover modules it doesnt change untill i change it on all the hover modules, so every hover module inside the site has to be exactly the same size etc otherwise it doesnt apply the changes :S any suggestions? is there a way to process and change the parameters for each module seperately through a css maybe?

3. how can i add a favicon to show on the url bar?

4. last question how can i add banners (advertisement images) to show on the left and right of the main content (i am refering to the blank space which just shows the background)

Sorry for the long post i am trying to gother as many questions as possible before asking

Thank you in advance.

Hi

1. The background color below the header image can be changed to your own taste by adding the following CSS to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_horizon/css/template.css)

[code type=css]body {background: #1E1E1E;}[/code]
Where #1E1E1E is your background color.

2. http://www.joomla51.com/forum/support/free-templates-extensions/image-hover-mod-different-size-modules-same-page

3. A favicon.ico can be uploaded to your template directory (../templates/j51_horizon)

4. À possible solution would be to add something like the following within the 'header' div of your templates index.php

<div class="yourbanner">

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="yourbanner" />

</div>

You will then have created a module position called 'yourbanner'.

To sytle/position the banner you will need to add the following to the end of your templates template.css

[code type=css]#header {position:relative;}
.yourbanner {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}[/code]
Use 'top' and 'left' to position the banner. Minus figures can be used to move the banner left.

Hello again,

ISSUE 1: its regarding the background problem i asked you about, my problem wasnt how to change the background color but that i have changed it and for some weird reason it appears fine on google chrome and IE but not on mozilla, on mozilla there is a small difference between the background color under the header and the rest of the sites background color! That difference is only visible in Mozilla :S also i have added a border around the slideshow but the border appears only in mozilla and not in chrome.

ISSUE 2: There is a login menu item that opens a login or register page my problem is that i cant find anywhere a css or another way to edit or modify the login page that opens :S for example: the "forgot username" link seems to messed up like there is a graphic behind it or the unicode doesnt show correctly but i couldnt find a way to fix it. Also i wanted to make the login or register form appear in a different language so i really need to find a way to modify that form.

I am getting desperate here :unsure:

Thanks so much for your help so far!

Check the color of the base of your header image using an eyedropper tool in your graphic editor and check that it is matching that of the body background color. Ensure you use the exported header image rather than the source PSD as colors can change slightly when exporting to a compressed format. Admitedly we are unable to see the difference here but that is probably due to our monitor settings.

Would you have a URL directly to your login/register page?

Ciarán

I have made the site Live so if you go to http://www.beautyshot.gr now you can see the login/register page/form by clicking on the Login menu item

For the list items below the login fields may I suggest adding the following CSS to the end of your templates template.css..

[code type=css].maincontent li {padding-left:16px;}[/code]
In Joomla the login module in general can be styled with the following CSS selector..

[code type=css].login {}[/code]
If you have some specific way you wish to style the module, mention it here and we would be happy to help.

Ciarán

Thanks again it worked now regarding the customizing of the module there is a number of changes i want to be able to make:

1. I want to write "Login" etc fields in both english and my language greek so i need a way to do so.

2. I was thinking of adding a radio button for registration instead of the "Dont have an account" hypertext.

3. Last but not least, the site will be having competitions with prices in which allready registered members will be able to participate by clicking a radio button of some sort, as you propably can tell from all my questions so far i am a newbie in Joomla so i was wondering if you got any suggestions how i could do that for example when a member clicks on the button i will get an email to add them to the competitions list or sthing :S

I really appreciate all the help you have given me although you are not obligated to answer all of my questions since they are not all template related. :cheer:

1. As far as I know as long as youo have the Greek language installed (Extensions -> Language Manager) it should automatically change once Greek is selected.

2. & 3. Sorry to say there is no simple way of adding extra fields to the default Joomla login module however there may be 3rd party login module available which might help. A good place to look would be.. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication

Hello again,
i am happy to say that i have almost finished my site thanks to your help and while i was trying to find a way to place my social icons and newsletter subscribe icon somewhere over my menu bar i found out that you are using a new feature-extension on your new templates (i saw it in twilight) and i was wondering if there is a way to get that.
Thanks again for all the fast and accurate feedback.
ps:Below is our site in case you whould like to have a look and tell me your opinion

Sorry to say the social icons on our Twilight template is not an extension that can be installed but is coded into the template.

May I suggest checking out http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-share for a similar effect available as a module.

Ciarán

I see,in that case in which css should i add a css code i have found that gives me a sort of a floating bar that is close to what i want, you see its a <div> to </div> code that includes the whole floating thing and i dont want to mess my template up :S. i was thinking pasting it inside my index.php or should i go for the template.css? And last question how can i make static (not moving out of position when someone zooms in for example) the "yourbanner" module position that you helped me create in a previous post?
Thanks again!
