Change 'Maple' header image on Protostar

Post by bigone5500 » Thu Jan 24, 2013 3:46 am

What files do I need to edit to change this?

Or could I do this through the admin panel?

You can use firebug for Firefox/Chrome to inspect element and find on what css the image background is saved.

You mean protostar, don't worry you are not the only one who got it wrong.

Go to Template manager and click on Protostar Default in the Styles. Go to tab Options and click the X at the right op Logo. The selected logo will disappear. Save and look at your frontend.

I got around to doing this and it is not what I had wanted to do. I want to get rid of the red 'Maple' banner type image on the home page. It is really in the way. I'm not saying that it's a banner but it looks like one.

Turns out that the image is a header...or is at least located in the header folder under media manager.

Nevermind...I renamed the maple.jpg file located in the /images/headers folder and it disappeared...

That is a shame. You are not using the option of the style as I told you? Clearing that or changing it to something you like is a great feature. It is probably number 1 feature requested for a template. Renaming or removing the file leaves you with an image not found!

I will probably use the feature in the future, but in the meantime I would prefer it to not be there.

Also, I did not get the image not found error.

Have a look at http://docs.joomla.org/Diagnostic_tools for other platforms than FF.

Also the maple header is created by Image module where the background is set to maple. Just unpublish the module or pick a header you want.

Again, better to use the feature than to remove the file using Media manager.

I have to say...after using the Image module, a.k.a. - custom html, the uses are just too cool. I was skeptical about it but I now like it a lot.

Thanks for enlightening me on this Sova!

You are welcome. To be honest, same thing here.
