Fix the flash header with SEO

To fix the problem with SEO you will have to give the link of your site in header.swf and in photos.xml. To create header.swf use header.fla which is included on the download (for commercial templates).

Example 1
If your site is www.yoursite.com and you are using the template ju_business open header.fla with the flash program you have and you should change the link on Actions

from

templates/ju_business/photos.xml
to http://www.yoursite.com/templates/ju_business/photos.xml

In photos.xml change the link for all the images from

templates/ju_business/images/header........
to http://www.yoursite.com/templates/ju_business/images/header........

 

 

How to add lightbox and tooltips

Log in your Joomla admin panel and go to content - article manager.

For lightbox and tooltips use the codes lightbox-code.txt and tooltips-code.txt on the pages you want to have them. Of course you have to modify the links of images as they are for our demo.

When you enter those codes don't use any editor so for your admin choose no editor or if you use Editor - WysiwygPro 3 it will be no problems.

Header photos not showing

All our header modules loading photos from articles of joomla.

Important is that articles on the category you have chosen for that header module, should have one image. Also on that category should be more then 3 articles and those articles should be published. Is better if the photos on those articles have the same height as the height you have chosen for the header.

 

How to replace the logo

In images folder of the template you can replace logo.png with yours.

If your logo has the width size different the the original logo.png it will be ok. If the height of your logo is bigger then the original logo.png, in template_css.css you can change the height for #ol-tophead with the same height as your logo.
Important is that the logo should be in png format and  valid png file..

How to add sublevel menu items

Creating sublevel menu items in both Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5 is achieved by same general process. Think of Joomla's menu items as "parents" and "children". In order to create a sublevel item, you will need to assign a "parent" to that item. This is done inside the Menu Manager. Navigate to the menu manager and select the menu to be modified.

Example:

Joomla! 1.0: Menu > mainmenu
Joomla! 1.5: Menus > Main Menu

Select the menu item you would like to assign as a sublevel (or child) item.
You will see a dialog below titled "Parent Item"
Choose the item to assign as the parent and save.
 

Top menu is not on the template

The mainmenu is auto for the horizontal moomenu. If you want in horizontal moomenu the topmenu  you should go in Extensions - Template Manager. Select the template and click edit. There for Menu Name add topmenu instead of mainmenu.

Another way how to do it is to change in params.ini

menuName=mainmenu
with
menuName=topmenu

 

How to remove 'Welcome to the Frontpage'

If you install new Joomla! 1.5 on your server, you get the 'Welcome to the Frontpage' title on your Frontpage. Sometimes, it is difficult to find, where you can change this title.

Go to your Joomla! 1.5 Administration site and login. In your administration site go to:

  • Menus - Main Menu (now you are in:Menu Item Manager: mainmenu).
  • Click on 'Home' link to edit this link (you are now in: Menu Item: Edit).
  • Click on Parameters System and change or delete thePage title.
    • If you change the Page title, changed title will be displayed on your Frontpage as a title.
    • If you delete the Page title, Menu link will be displayed on your Frontpage as a title (in the present case 'Home' will be displayed as title, because 'Home' is the name of the link to the Frontpage).
    • If you don't want to display any title, set Show Page Title below Page title parameter to 'No'.
  • Don't forget to save changes.
