User3 - blank - no logo?

Hi,

Site is Joomla 2.5 -

If I don't publish a module in postion user3, the logo does not display. Can I display the logo without a module in user3?

Also I would like to change the background for logo and user3 to be blue across the whole page - is this possible without changing the whole page background?

Thanks
Henk

when I follow your link it takes me to 404 NOT FOUND

went live with the site on www.orewapalms.co.nz

Worked around the user3 position issue for now by putting in a spacer in user3. However I think it would be better if the non use of position user3 did not hide the logo div.

Still looking to change the whole background for the top bar where logo sits - but can not do this using the template options.

thanks

Open index.php of template and find this:

modify it like this:


<div id="topmenu">
<div id="logo"><a href="index.php"><img src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/hot_realestate/images/logo.png" width="224" height="70" alt="hot software" /></a></div>
<?php if ($showuser3) { ?>
<div id="topmenu_pad">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" style="none" />
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>


to apply background across whole page you can style:

#topmenu{
background:...
}

add your style at bottom of template_css.css

Hi,

Thanks for the response finally got a chance to apply suggested changes.

It fixes the issue of not having a module in user 3.

I can now also change the background colour of the topmenu div - however the div width is set by the templates parameters. So back ground colour only changes for the div (set to 990 currently) width not the full window as in topmenu_nav_wrap div. Can this be done?

Thanks
Henk

You can override any css property with important flag:

#topmenu_nav{
width:1000px!important;
}
