Hi, there.

Here's where I'm stuck. I have searched a couple of times using "logo" and "logos" but I can't find what I am looking for.

Here's my goal: my pastor really likes the layout of our website, but wants me to change the color scheme/logo image for some of the individual pages.

I have not found a way to change the CSS of one individual menu item.

Do I need to duplicate templates or CSS files? How would I add the CSS file to the list as an option in the beez_20 template options?

Ryan

you can add multiples css.
just create new css file and put this file in css folder under template.
Now go to index.php file of template and copy the css link already there and paste under this link. and change the css name according to new one you created.

Maybe I need to clarify. I just realized I am not using the right term for what I am trying to change.

I'm actually not trying to change a logo. I am looking to change the header image background.

For reference, the website in question is http://www.trinitynazarene.net.

The logo (literally, the "Trinity Church of the Nazarene" with the line under it) that is set in the beez_2 template options would stay the same. However, the header image in the header div *behind* it would change. The idea is that when you clicked on "Angel Food" or "Youth" or "Community Center" the header image (the picture of the church with the funky blue waves) would change for those ministries.

Do I do this with CSS or by creating copies of a template for the Template Manager to point to?

I just posted a clarification. I think by what I'm reading this would change the look of the index.php for all my pages, which is not what I'm going for...maybe...unless...are you saying you can set the links for the css files for certain pages in the index.php file? Meaning, if my page link is x.com/x and the css file for it is y.css I can set index.php to point to the y.css file when it goes to x.com/x?

Just trying to wrap my head around it. :)

I always use header image for joomla 1.5 i am not sure they have developed for 1.6... But any how one good and easy solution u can do by add cutome module.. create new custom module for each page and add your image in this custom module and assign this to concern page where you want to show... same make new one for next page and assign this into next page of link... Remember you must know module name for banner...

for example if banner location name is banner so you will show all banners in this position...

This should be achievable with the new template styles in 1.6.

Okay, I see where I could make a copy of a template style for a page, but it's dependent on the same CSS file.

I'm so confused...LOL.

Just to make sure it is understood that I know the difference between the logo chosen for the template style and the header background image...

Here's what I don't understand, and maybe you can clarify:

I see that you can make copies of template styles. For example, the beez_5 template copy they give you as an example. I think my problem lies in that for all the copies of the template styles you make, it still uses the same CSS file, which contains the header background image style element, which means if I change it in that file it changes it for all the copies I have made.

I made a rather lame attempt and copying a template and trying to install it twice under a different name, but it takes a lot of time and space...

One thing I had thought of was to take the padding out of the CSS file for the logo so that the Logo File chosen for the page would cover up the header...it might make a difference on the page load times, but it would achieve my purpose.

This could work for me...I will give it a shot. I happened to think, though...

Would my header still show up?

I suppose that I could create a banner that would "play nice" that with my header, however, I also had it in my head that the color schemes would match.

This has been fixed...

Basically what you have to do is going into the templateDetails.xml and create the options for the css that you wish to use for that page and then it will use what you want. Once you upload the banners and the css files to their proper folders you are all set.

Thank you, everyone for your input.

Ryan
