joomla template help

Discussion in 'Joomla' started by tony84, Jul 7, 2006.

    I have my site up and running (its the rate me link in my sig) ive removed a lot of the things joomla offer that i just dont need on my site, but im having a problem with some things, if anyone could help id really appreciate it.

    Where it says "top module empty" i want that box to be removed totally and then the header to stretch into where that is.

    I also want the 2 boxes at the top to go and not be there at all.

    And also where it says powered by joomla, i want that to not be on the screen at all then then "polls" and "whos online" to move up into that space.

    Can anyone help me with this as ive just been doing it all through the cms to remove the bits i dont want, if its changing html then thats no problem i can do that but i wouldnt know which files to change as i want it changed for every page.

    Tony

    I think its code i need to change, which i have found in the template folder (d'oh) anyway the html is a little more complex than im used to, and it includes php which only confuses me more. would anybody be able to highlight the parts that need changing in order for me to get it to look like i described above?

    Cheers

    because the person that installed the script did what i asked, i cant expect him to start skinning it aswel, and its something i want to learn myself for in the future i dont want to keep relying on other people.

    Also the joomla forum, i dont want to register on another forum im happy with this site

    Dude, that's what we call "after-sale services", you just ask him howto, not ask him to do it for you.

    Don't be so picky on forum, you should learn everything from its best source. And Joomla knowledge resources converge in its official forum.

    I think this forum is great too but when I need help with Joomla I look on the Joomla site. When I need help with Moodle I go to the Moodle site. You may not even need to join you may be able to find the answer just by searching their forum.

    Hi tony84,

    The code between the <?php and ?> tag is the module for the Top Menu box. You can find this code in line 24-32.

    The part of the code in bold and blue shows the text in the empty box. You might want to just delete it and leave it empty. Try it and see what happens.

    Now it's up to you what you want to do with the box. To delete the box you need to delete the complete code above. But if you delete it, the box will leave an empty space in the top right corner next to the banner.

    My suggestion is that you download and install a completely new template of your own choice which does not have a Top Module Box in the top right corner.

    You can find lots of templates here http://www.joomlaresource.com

    Hope this helps.
