    • Hi, I have the xampp stack and have filezilla server running but cannot seem to connect filezilla client to my joomla site in order to alter the logo which was created in fireworks and is sitting on my desktop. I get this message Status: Resolving address of ftp.localhost
      Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".
      Error: Could not connect to server, anyone got a clue? thanks, John

    • Not an answer to your question but may I know why do you want to use ftp on your localhost?
      You can upload and download the files directly browsing to your folder inside your computer

    • Hi Arifin, thanks for responding, I have found my way to the file through my computer c drive down through templates etc down to logo/style4 opened it to reveal the png file. My new logo is sitting on my desktop, how do I move it to take over from the existing logo? cut and paste? I don't even know what a file manager is let alone using it to upload a file. John

    • Drag and drop the logo to the folder.

      It will overwrite the old one.

      If you want to keep the old one, rename it before the drag and drop.

    • Hi JEM, I went back through my computer and negotiated my way to the images file in rt reaction and found style 4 logo png. I then dragged and dropped the new logo off the desktop which worked well and I saw the preview of the new logo in the file. However when I go in through administrator to the backend of the site and then preview the template the new logo has failed to install on the template and I still have the unchanged reaction power logo there. Do I have to make any changes in the css or anywhere to bring the edited logo into effect? Thanks again, John

    • Thanks JEM, All is up and going with a bit of work, just wondering however if I can remove the pretend media player image in the header area of style 4 reaction template by deleting out of the image file and would there still be background as per the rest of the header if I do, or is there a better way? thanks, John

    • That is just an image.

      The text is in header-a, the 'pretend media player' is in header-d.

      They are both Custom HTML Modules, so you could replace wither with your own content.

    • Hello again JEM, I went into header D to edit and could see nothing there as in the text box although in other module positions I have seen text and images ( showing what is in the module position) which is why I assumed this was a permanent image imprinted on the template header. Should I see the "pretend media player" somewhere when editing this module and its positioning in the module manager of Joomla? Thanks again, John. I owe you a beer!!! or 2, of course only when I'm a senior Rocketeer

    • To remove the image....

      .header-demo { (template.css line 22)
      height:280px;
      width:510px;
      display:none; <<< Add this code

      Or delete this image:

      /images/backgrounds/style4/header-demo.jpg

      As far as adding your own video player in the header, in the Template Manager, you can split the header as you like, create a Custom HTML Module, and publish your content there.
