Modern Living Theme by mikeybeez

Post by gerryclement »

I'm trying to use this theme and everything is fine except for the logo - I cannot get it to display.

I've tried variations on:

background: #385C72 url('images/contact-logo.jpg') including using the full path with [[root_url]] and using various locations for storing the jpg file but is just won't appear plus using double inverted commas, no inverted commas etc. Is there something else in the style sheet that needs changed. All the other images appear.

We would need a link to this before we can help or we would have to install the theme to see where this is in the code...

Code: Select all

<meta name="description" content="We offer a Counselling Service for both individuals and schools in Gloucestershire"
has no closing >

Why is your stylesheet in your directory 'images/template/modliv/stylesheet.css'?

It seems you could remove the original CMSMS-logo from the template. To get your logo there, you have to replace the CMSMS-logo with your logo

Woops hadn't noticed the meta tag error - thanks!

The stylesheet is there because that's where the theme instructions say it should go. By the way I can't get logo1.gif (CMSMS logo) to appear either.

Your stylesheet normally is located in your database. Take a look in the documentationvof cmsms.

Do you have {cms_stylesheet} in your template?

Well, from your CSS:

Code: Select all

div#header h1 a {
/* you can set your own image here */
   background: #385C72 url('http://www.counselling-cheltenham.me.uk/uploads/images/logo1.gif') no-repeat 0 12px; 
.....
}
That looks OK except there is no "header" in your home page HTML. So this bit of your CSS is never used.

Thanks Paul. I got the template from here: http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/uploads ... e.zip.html. I think I'll look for another template. I'm surprised its been downloaded as often as it has. I put the CSS in the W3C validator and got several errors and warnings.

My thanks to everyone who replied.

Just make the necessary corrections and your template works.
