PatrioticPulse.org: New site using Internet Gazette Template
« on: February 01, 2006, 08:13:41 AM »
Hi,

Just joined earlier this month. Great templates! Thanks so much. I just set up this Progressive political news site for a client. Internet Gazette fit the bill perfectly, letting me get it up and running within a week! Awesome!

Check it out and let me know what your think...

Thanks dude, of course, you're mostly complementing your self, aren't you! Re the bumpersticker, I don't know. My client is a non-profit. If you're serious, why don't you just order one. It would be helping a good cause.

Best,

Not to start a political debate, but I hardly think a political propaganda site (right or left wing) is a good cause.

Let's not go down that road here. Buy a sticker, don't buy a sticker, your choice, your sense of liberty.

Hi TN,
Thanks! To get it to show up only on the Home Page, I made a copy of InetGazette template directory, and then modified the index.php file as needed. If you weren't already aware of it, Joomla allows you to assign specific templates to specific pages. Just go to Sites/Template Manager/Site Templates. Select the template you want to assign (it must be installed first--I just uploaded it via FTP), click the Assign button and select the Home page from the list. That's it!

Regarding the image itself--I assume you're talking about the photostrip montage--well I made it using layers and gradients in photoshop. It's one long image that's placed as a background in a div tag.

Best,

Where in the php code did you insert the image? I just tried modifying and it didn't work for me...

Cheers!

Hi Steve,
In the index.php template file, at around line 59 (under the horizmenu div) I inserted the following div tag which contains a spacer gif image:

Code:
<div id="photostrip"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/jw_inetgazette_home/images/spacer.gif" width="750" height="90" /></div>

Then in my template stylesheets, I inserted this div definition, which links to my photostrip image:

Code:
div#photostrip {
background: url(../images/photostrip_wide.jpg) no-repeat;
height: 90px;
}

I made my photostrip wider than the maximum width of the template, just in case I ever decide to allow the template to expand wider, but I guess you don't really have to do that.

Hope this helped,
Railer
