Effing Joomla!
Nov. 21st, 2009 08:02 pmI have been fiddling with Joomla for the most part of this day when I should have been doing something else entirely. It is driving me effing crazy.
I'm usually quite good at following examples, and figuring what I need to do to get something going. But this bloody thing has me stumped. I apparently changed something somewhere in one of the modules, and for the life of me can't figure out what it was, or how to change it back. I've been going over documentation, reading the posts at the forums, and googling for answers, but I cannot find one piece of advice that would apply to my situation.
The template I liked is here and it's a template I was going to use for the mag7 site, after I changed the images (since the layout seems very close to my original site). However, after installing that and two other templates, I changed something to make another template closer to the preview image, but when I went back to this one, everything was broken. The green header area was completely gone, and I couldn't get it back no matter what I tried. I deleted all articles and categories in a true fit of rage (haven't had those in a long, long time. It felt cathartic.) but that of course didn't solve my problem. It probably even made it worse.
Is there anyone out there who has any experience with this blasted thing? I'm sure it works great once you set it up, I just can't figure out how to get it to that point.
