I'm just finishing up the new site for a new metal radio show my wife is doing in Spanish, I used Extremities2 Red as a foundation, and ran with it... I think mine is truely red whereas the original is more brownish... maybe that's just me... :
Any ways, I've still got a few things to sort out, and some sections are bare for the moment (playlist for example) until the first show. Check it out here: www.divasatanica.com/ - I'm an Individual, just like everyone else...

I copied the existing banner/mod_banners module and created 3 versions, then placed/named each advert1, advert2, advert3 respectively (although I'm not currently using #3), all are predefined slots in Joomla and added the code to publish them if they exist to the template like this (where I wanted them to appear):
<code>
<?php if (mosCountModules('advert1')) { ?>
<div id="banner" align="center">
<div id="advert">
<?php mosLoadModules('advert1', -1); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</code>
I also used the "advertisement" graphic from the default theme to make my "advertisement" header and created a custom CSS entry called "advert" which places that image at the top of all advert banners as well as wrapping them in a border to match. Once all that was done I used the Banner Component to manage my banners...
It's not totally pretty, but not entirely hard. and it works a treat! unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to make sure all the banners are different... it's totally random.

It's still a work in progress... but due to the show starting on the 5th of this month, I had to get it online ASAP!
It was a great foundation to start with... and hopefully I can give it a little more life yet! - I'm an Individual, just like everyone else...

- wow, nice site, can you tell me how you got the forum to look like that? I don't mean the theme, but, how it "fits" inside the page. In my site the forum appears inside the "main" area but the left column is still there.

- You have to specify where all your modules appear, in this case, I manually selected which areas each module is present (not "all") and then for the forum page, no modules are selected to appear there. It's all Joomla functionality... nothing fancy...

- in the admin backend, select modules> site modules from the dropdown menu at the top, then select the modules one by one (you only need to do the published ones, ignore the rest)
