Trying to incorporate a banner more or less for the logo area. How can I change the size so lets say I have an image the size 700 x 100 ?

Thanks,
Dave

If You will use template settings and set logo to image - it will adjust to its size (Logo type - image in features section).
If You will select logo type - from CSS, then You will need to use override.css to force change logo size:
Code: Select all
#gkLogo.cssLogo {
height: 46px;
width: 175px;
}



It can be set in override.css, just remember to enable it in template settings.

That's interesting because I figured it would do that if I used the logo as an image but it re-sized it to fit inside the orange square. I don't mind using CSS, I'll try that with overrides next.

Thanks,

Can someone please help me? This is really weird. Everything was working just fine. I switched to Joomla 2.5 version because of need to use virtuemart. First thing I did was change the logo/template settings (using image, still put in overrides for the size just in case, enabled overrides) .... but still the image is shrunk and has the orange background. What am I doing wrong? Here's my ovveride css:

#gkLogo.cssLogo {
height: 74px;
width: 462px;
}

I really want to use just the image type of logo so the override shouldn't even matter. It's really frustrating that all was working just fine until I started configuring virtuemart and then all of a sudden it went back to the orange background and my logo got shrunk to fit the default size.

I stopped using JoomlaXTC due to the terrible lack of support or help they provide on the forums. I've never had such an issue here at Gavick, but I really really need to figure this out and get the header section working right on my site. Can someone please give me some guidance on how to get the image to show properly on this ??

Thanks,
Dave

Is there anyone here anymore that can help me? It's really frustrating to have something that is supposed to work one way but it's not. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Attached are screens of my settings and how its displaying. I just want the image to be its normal size (using the image logo type it should do that right )? I don't want the orange background either .... I thought using the image again would remove that too.

First You must learn patience. Every time You answer your own question, your case goes to the bottom of "to answer" queue.
And with the logo, there is small global style that is causing the problem, and You can get rid of it quite easy:
Code: Select all
section#gkPageTop img {max-width: none !important; }

It will force image to be 100% width again, not just 100% of its parent size.

Thank you for the help.

I thought I was being patient. Four days for a response is more than usual from my experience here ... that, coupled with waiting 2-3 weeks for help over at JoomlaXTC, was getting nervous. Again, thanks.

No problem. 4 days - yes, but if You would not answer own questions, You would get response next day ;).
