A quick and easy way to add template specific Graphic seperatorsbetween news articles

Only found out this by madly meddling with Php files, anywho..

Basically go into components/com_content/content.HTML.php

insert this in line 458

<div align="center"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $template; ?>/images/yourimagename.jpg" width="imagewidth" height="imageheight" border="0"/>

replace the bolded out type with your image (including image folder, within your template) width and height.

This will allow you to have an image that is relevant to your current template..

I have used it on my site here: www.sequel-trilogy.net/start

You've got a great looking site there, congrats!
And thanks for sharing the trick here

Thanks!

Just looked at your eyezberg site, what is that your using to make your transitions between pages, where they fade over one another is that Javascript ?? its really cool, and gives me an idea for my new website design

Nope, just do a view source, it's pure Microsoft, IE only stuff, search MS dev site for "transitions", there's more than 10 different ones..

Hi eyez

try for your partnerlinks this code

Code:

<img onmouseover="opacity.fadeIn(this);" style="FILTER: alpha(opacity=30); opacity: 0.3; moz-opacity: 0.3" onmouseout="opacity.fadeOut(this);" src="path for your image" width="151" border="0" />

You can get another fadein and out speed where the 30 and 0.3 is ....

I have another question, is there any chance to make a different frontpage and and the articel page with one text?

Sorry for my bad english..

Greats Peter

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean, but if you mean what I think you mean

then I guess you can, yes, by inserting a check in your template's index.php to see if option and if option == com_frontpage (so: you are on the frontpage) and call one css; if not, call another

(is' das so verständlich? lol)
