How to increase the width of the tagline

Written by Administrator

The tagline occupies the sample region as the logo.

And the logo works in conjunction with the navigation bar.

So in essense, to increase the width of the tagline requires you to increase the width of the logo and decrease the width of the naviation var in the template.

This is how it is performed.

With Super Administrator mode:

Go into template management and select JB Newstream

Select the logo tab which is under the appearance tab which is under the template tab.

Change the Logo Width from 3 to 4 columns

Select the Menu tab which is under the layout tab which is under the template tab.

Change the navagation width from 9 to 8 columns.

Simple Tutorial

#1. Get familiar with the layout


#2. Get familiar with the modules

Each module resides at a particular layout position.  You can see a listing of all the modules by going through Extensions->Module Manager.  This will open up the Module Manager view.  If you see any modules that are not enabled (which is denoted by ), then select Enabled on the drop down menu.  This will filter out all modules that are installed but not currently in use.  Notice position column.  This informs joomla at what layout position to module will reside in.  If there are multiple modules that resides in the same position, then joomla will look at the order to see which one has a higher priority.  The higher priority (denoted by a smaller number in the order column) module is displayed on top while subsequent modules of lower priority are displayed below.


#3. Get familiar with K2 contents

Native Joomla 1.5 content are called articles.  Articles resides in a category.  And catories reside in a section.  This three level hierarchy has a significant limitation in terms of flexibility.  Therefore, a new content plugin was installed called K2.  K2 content is called an item.  And K2 items resides in a K2 category.  K2 categories can reside under other K2 category.  There is no limit to the amount of K2 category nesting.  So, we should (from here on out) enter our content through K2 items.  But unfortunately, you still need to understand some basics of the Joomla 1.5 content system.  K2 items can be entered by going to Site->Control Panel.  From here, select the Items icon.


#4. Get familiar with Joomla content

Since you can't get away from the native Joomla 1.5 content system.  You should also familiarize yourself with them.  Fortunately, Joomla articles are very straightforward.  You can see the available Joomla articles by going to Content->Article Manager


#5. Understand how modules interact with Joomla content

Some modules requires content in order for them to be displayed properly.  For example, the JB Slideshow module (located in the banner position) is currently set to display a Joomla category.  You can do the following to see this:  (1) Extensions->Module Manager; (2) Click on the module name JB Slideshow v3.2; (3) Click on Joomla Article Options on the accordian panel.  You can see that the JB Slideshow is fetching content using articles from the Slideshow Items Joomla category.  Another example, the microblog module (located in the tab1 position) is currently set to display four K2 categories.  You can do the following to see this:  (1) Extension->Module Manager; (2) Click on  the module name Welcome; (3) Click on K2 Item Setting on the accordian panel.  You can see that the microblog is fetching items from the following for K2 categories - Events, Connect & Grow, Serve, and Messages.




To change the home page link ...

Go to Menus -> *Main Menu

Select that menu item and make it default.


The pastor's corner section uses the Jumi [pastor's corner] module.  In that module, a box with a blank_1x1.gif is inserted as a placeholder.  The article is in responsible for invoking the jumi plugin to change the background of the placeholder via javascript.

So, in order to perform this operation.

#1. Make sure the image exists in the jumi component

    - Components -> Jumi

      - Insure that script id #3 houses the php code that points to the proper image

#2. In the article, insert the following:

    - { jumi [*3] [Image_Key]}

      - Note: Image_Key is the parameter that is being passed into the function within the Jumi Component.

How do I unlock a document

Written by Administrator

#1. Make sure the person that was editing the document saved the document.

#2. If the above doesn't work, then log in as Super-Administrator and then go to Tools->Global Checkin.
