Hi,

what is with a nice and solid green?
is there the possibility to get it in green? perhaps as payed customization instead of installation service?
thanks

I too would like to add some other colour choices besides red & blue e.g. Green like your sample image. Please could you explain how to do this?
Cheers

April 12, 2009 at 4:20 pm #301029You need to edit your template.css file.
To work out what needs adjusting use Firefox with the Firebug plugin
There are full instructions on the site on how to use it.

I have found the two CSS files & 11 images specific to each colour choice but I can’t figure out what I need to change in the other code to add extra colours. I would like to have the choice in the back end between default, red, blue, green, purple, orange, yellow etc

April 12, 2009 at 6:51 pm #301042Ok,
Make copies of each of the colour css file renamed to your new colour. For example, Copy red.css and red-ie.php and save the copies as for example purple.css and purple-ie.php
Then do the same for the Images folders. IE- make a copy of images>red and save it as image>purple
Finally, open templateDetails.xml and look for the following
<param name="ja_color" type="list" default="default" label="Default Style" description="Default style. If Style Switching is enabled, the selected style on frontpage will be saved. You must disable Style Switching or clear cookie to activate the new default style">
<option value="default">default</option>
<option value="blue">blue</option>
<option value="red">red</option></param>
and change to
<param name="ja_color" type="list" default="default" label="Default Style" description="Default style. If Style Switching is enabled, the selected style on frontpage will be saved. You must disable Style Switching or clear cookie to activate the new default style">
<option value="default">default</option>
<option value="blue">blue</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
<option value="purple">purple</option>
</param>Which will add the purple option to your dropdown.
In ja_vars1.5.php add your colour to the line
$tmpTools->setColorThemes (array('default','blue','red','red','purple'));
In your new purple-ie.php change the bit in red
h1.logo a {
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='<?php echo $template_path;?>/images/purple/logo.png', sizingMethod='image');
background-image: none;
}Then modify the purple.css and images to your needs. A good tip here is to open purple.css and do a find and replace on all instances of “red” and replace with “purple” to make the fille look at your new purple folder.
Repeat for each colour choice.
Interestingly, JA have left some other colours from the ja_opal template in there. Try adding
<option value="yellow">yellow</option>
to your xml file for instance and see what that looks like.5 users say Thank You to Phill for this useful post

April 23, 2009 at 11:35 am #302310Phil, thanks a lot for the pointers. That saved me quite some time poking about in the code. The other important thing to search for is D33615 which is the definition of the red background colour in hex. Just replace this with the hexadecimal representation of the colour that you want.
