Help for Theme?
11/14/11 7:52 PM

Is there any documentation, help file, something that explains how/where to edit the various elements of pages. I found the header and footer files. Can't seem to find out how to plug our logo in where the GR Eptm shows, top, left?

I can't get the search to work, so far, just returns me back to the homepage.

I'm sure part of the problem is I'm not a developer.. but mostly this is straight forward, I should be able to tackle it with a little help from our friends at Mura.. :-)

Thanks,
Barb

Hi there, if you look in File Manager > Site Files > includes > themes > greptem > templates > inc > html_head.cfm you can set the basic style (dark or light) near the top of that file and then a few lines further down set the colour scheme.

Then, depending on which file (like: light / blue or purple etc.) you select, you go into the respective file in greptem css > light > style_blue.css and find the line

#logo {
  background:url(../../images/light/blue/logo.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}

and replace with

#logo {
  background:url(../../images/light/blue/my_cool_new_logo1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
}

or whatever and upload that logo into greptem > images > light > blue

etc.

To get the homepage slideshow, you need to first activate Content Collections for your site (Edit Site > Modules), and then add one named Home Slideshow which pulls the info from a portal which can have the same name but does not need to have a navigation link - put some pages in there that have an associated image. Then they show up automatically if your page is set to use the home.cfm template. Hope this makes sense and can get you started a bit.

Can I control the image size allowed for the logo? evidently my logo is larger than the greptem, so mine appears all cut off. I've checked the .css files, and the head.cfm.. nothing in there. Thanks.

general.css, line 17-ish has the size dimensions for the logo. I'd recommend using Firebug for Firefox to figure out what styles are coming from where.
