Bump,
I'd really like a response to this!

Hi David,

Sorry for a late reply.
And yes, you have done correctly.
Congrat!

Regards

I am new to T3. There are many things I am struggling to do. The first think I need help with is to make the banner 100%. I have added a Logo Image in T3 Template Manager. I have edited header.php and changed the class for logo from span4 to span12. Viewing source confirms that it uses span12. But still, it looks like it only has a span4 width, as the banner cuts off. Any idea?

Hi Dani,

What your have done is correct.
But you need to style the logo size.
There are two variable about the logo size in \templates\t3_blank\less\variables.less
//
// T3 LOGO
// --------------------------------------------------
@T3logoWidth: 204px;
@T3logoHeight: 65px;

Please make sure you enable development mode or compile LESS to CSS to see the changes.

Hi

I want to increase the height of the header .because my logo is 215 * 105 px size.

Could you please tell me how to increase the height of the header to accept such a big logo ?

I already change the values of the template.css.


this is the part of the content of header.php

<!-- HEADER -->
<header id="t3-header" class="container t3-header">
<div class="row">

<!-- LOGO -->
<div class="span8 logo">
<div class="logo-<?php echo $logotype ?>">
<h1>
<a href="<?php echo JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>"<?php echo $logoimage ?>>
<span><?php echo $sitename ?></span>
</a>
<small class="site-slogan hidden-phone"><?php echo $slogan ?></small>
</h1>
</div>
</div>
<!-- //LOGO -->

how do I expand it ? I cant understand how to increase the size of logo span . Please help

Thanks in advance
Luke

Hi Luke devon,

215 * 105 can be fit in span8. You do not need to make change in the markup but LESS (CSS) instead.
Please read again my post above.

Regards

Thank you s much . I was able to insert the logo . Thank you once again.

Hello, i have problem when i want to turn off development mode.

1. I want to change size of my logo: development mode is on, i make changes in \templates\t3_blank\less\variables.less. for example: @T3logoWidth:960px; @T3logoHeight: 180px;
2. i use firebug and i know that i have to change in the file t3\t3-assets\dev\name_of_my_template\templates.t3_blank.less.bootstrap.less.css :
from
.span8 {
width: 624px;
}
to
span8 {
width: 960px;
}
To this moment is everything ok.

3. After my work i compile less to css and turn off development mode. From this moment when i refresh my site logo is still cut to size: width: 624px;.
I check the compiled file css from less: t3\templates\t3_blank\css\themes\name_of_my_template\bootstrap.css and it has still value :
.span8 {
width: 624px;
}

Maybe someone could tell me what do i wrong. Maybe after first compiling i should work only with css files in this folder: t3\templates\t3_blank\css\themes\name_of_my_template and don't turn on development mode everytime when i want to change something in templete.

version of theme and framework : 1.4.1
XAMPP 1.8.2
Joomla 2.5.14

Hi bugi777,

You should never modify the file in t3-assets folder. It is a cache folder and will be overwrite anytime.

You should look at the name of file
\t3-assets\dev\name_of_my_template\templates.t3_blank.less.bootstrap.less.css
=> it should map to \templates\name_of_my_template\less\bootstrap.less

It should be the less file, and you can modify it.
Though bootstrap.less is a general file, you should find another way to do so.

span8 {
width: 624px;
}

This is the grid value. You should find the variable which affect this value instead of change it directly in CSS file.

You can also overwrite it by css in a custom.css file (this should be fit for your choice).

Regards

That's right, custom.css is that what i need. Everything works after Compile less to css, when Development mode is off and also when Optimize css is on.

Thanks very much.
