    Help with template design?

    Posted 16 years 1 month ago
    • History from a newby....
      I take a fluid tableless design from dreamweaver and install some modules from the dreamweaver template kit. Install it locally on a MAMP installation and synchronize in dreamweaver.

      First thing I see, if I want to insert external css styleshett to my index.php. I have to put that code:

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/mytemplate/css/template.css" type="text/css"/>

      I have to do that for any other external stylesheet...

      Is this the right way?

      Now, how you insert a background image to a div and make it work in Joomla, no problem for insert images but no idea for background image. My idea here is to be able to put something (modules or other images) on top of that background image. Is this the right way?

      How to publish or modify the module (Header, inset and footer) I cannot find where to customize them?

      Sorry for my lack of knowledge....

    • 1. That is correct for Joomla 1.5

      2. Just think in terms of CSS, i.e.

      <div id="area"> equates to div#area { } so you can use

      div#area {
      background: url(../image/custom-bg.png);
      }
