Template parameters

This joomla 2.5 template has several customizable features that can be set up in the template parameters. After template installation and choosing it to default template, click on the template's name in the template manager to set the following parameters:

Choose your logo type (text or graphic) and fill in the logo text or upload your logo image. The logo height and width is either the size of the logo image or the size of the box that contains the logo text (you have to play with it).

For the slideshow, cut your images to the same size, so that your images' width should be ideally equal to (page width - 80), because if you choose Force image resize: "Yes", then the quality can be worse. You have to use an ftp software like Filezilla, or if you use cpanel on the server, then the file manager to upload the images. You have to upload them into the templates/a4joomla-contrast/images/sampledata directory. If you want only one image without slideshow, then upload your image into the templates/a4joomla-contrast/images directory, and choose that image in the parameters.
