    • Hey, Joomla (somewhat) newbie --(joomla 1.5.7)

      I can get the site up, but now I have more customization I want to perform. I see that you can customize the CSS file.
      I'd love to remove the "whitespace" on certain pages. then, if possible, replace it with the clear smoky glass provided in the HIVEMIND template. is that possible to pull the hivemind info over?
      so - here's where I am ---
      I figured out how to access that file by going to template manager>rt_perihelion_j15 >then I can access the CSS file by the upper right hand corner.
      Now - I'm going to the perihelion template and bad things happen(yes, i did backup the css file before I made changes- whew)
      is there a video tutorial on how to do this?
      here's the original code:
      $show_frontpage_content = ($this->params->get("showFrontpageContent", 0) == 0)?"false":"true";

      acccording to the template guidelines, here's what I need to enter -
      $show_frontpage_content = "false"; // true | false

      -but where? what's the whole ammended line supposed to look like?

      and, if I can get rid of the whitespace, or at least change the color, wouldn't I therefore be able to cut/paste a css file from Hivemind into this template?

      oh, the cunundrums....

      thanks!!!

    • Okay - I figured it out - - I was looking at the top section of the CSS template. I didn't see the area down below.

      I'm still curious though - can I take the smokey template from HiveMind background and put it in the perihelion template as an article background?

      thx,

      Bryce
