Adding My Own Logo

[caucus]

Hello Group

I think I am getting the hang of the setup not quite ready for prime time but Alberto was right. I have plenty of things to do while waiting for the AN gateway.

What page do I start to modify if I want to change the header? Is it templates/raliegh/header.tpl ?

Which page do I start modifying first so my header can be the same through the whole signup process? I will have a backup of this before I make my changes :P

Thanks

you need to edit all of the headers,

signup_header.tpl
header.tpl
login_header.tpl

Yea, I'm editing templates too and it seems each section has their own header. Which is nice.

Although the CSS Stylesheets use HORRENDOUS naming conventions. I'm having a very hard time following anything in there. Think anything can be done about this, Alberto? That's some dirty code right there. :P

Hello

I use TopStyle Pro. I used code sweeper which puts the code in order and makes it nice and easy to follow. TopStyle is the next best thing to CE. TS makes the code easy to follow and indents all of the code properly and splits the code at each ;


Getting the tempaltes to my site look is going to take some time. I did see a link to one of the modifications and that looks great. I am a bit slower and it may take me a while.

Below is an example after using code sweeper set with TS defaults:

.activetab {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 7pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

Is that not beautiful in less than 1 second!

Thanks,

caucus

My peeve was not so much with formatting btu with the names used for the styles. I had to go thorugh the final HTML (created out of the browser) and found where the styles were being applied before I knew how I wanted to ahve them cahnged. It was a pain in the butt. :(

[Alberto]

Good point. I'll try to take a look

placer14, can we see your mods?

Hello

It sounds like you would like the programer to comment the css style sheet :D :D :D . That is something I think we all are guilty of.

Thanks,

Caucus

You can see all the stuff i'm working on in this thread. ;)

If you have questions, let me know, I'll try to help you out.

And as far as what's wrong with the CSS, it's not just commenting, but using a reasonable naming convention. What does "tier2" mean to you other than it's probably a subcategory of sorts. :-?

And, targon, the place with the logo is in index.tpl located at /CEdir/templates/yourtemplate/index.tpl

If there are any updates to the css that you want to submit for a future release we will love to check it out. Contact me at alberto@clientexec.com

Thanks

Well, as far as the CSS goes, just use a reasonable (and cleaner) naming convention. Something that can be identified by name. Also a good suggestion might be to use seperate style sheets for each part of the templates. (Signup, login and main) And link them together as necessary. This will cut down on overall download time and save bandwidth.

Of course, there's also the white box at the bottom of the signup's 2nd screen where the total is listed. You have the background color staticly set. Would be nice to be able to change the color through CSS.

I've got a few other suggestions as far as being able to completly customize look of login/signup/etc but that's a little too lengthy (and probably won't happen anytime soon) so i'll post these ideas later. I'm trying to finish up this skin. :)

[Alberto]

Thanks, every little bit helps

[Targon]

Thanks Placer :D

[Placer14]

I don't know if you were looking for suggestions for a naming schema, but if you do need ideas, just ask me. After i'm done getting everything toget and looking pretty, I'd be more than happy to help. :)

And, targon, the place with the logo is in index.tpl located at /CEdir/templates/yourtemplate/index.tpl

would replacing this file with my own log not do it ?
templates/{TEMPLATE}/images/logo.gif

[Alberto]

Yes that would
