Hi there and thank you all for the gr8 job that you ve done.
So i just installed elxis in my page and everything is going ok.
I struggle to tell you the truth to sort things out.
So i opened this post so someone can help me with my site.
I know i am asking too much but i really need some help.
Well what i need right now is to change the banner in my site.
I have the banner i want in my folders but i cant find any option or something to change it...
i tried through the edit css at the templates panel but i just couldnt find something.
Please if someone could help me i will be glad.

Hi and welcome :)
Login to the Elxis administration and go to the banners manager. Click "New" to add a new banner. Write a name for the banner, select ANY image.
-
well to make something clear . when i say banner i mean my websites banner and not the banner for an adv or something.
i am saying that because as i searched the cpanel and the forum i found out that people mean that.
Well to make it straight i want to change my websites banner and logo.
i am Greek too sirigos but i thought it would be better to write it down here and probably get more help.

Which template are you use ?
Go to template folder, locate the default logo and replace it with yours.
An other approach more professional, is to locate into CSS file the class for the logo and the area of it and to adjust it regarding your needs.
One tool that I suggest is an addon for Firefox, "Web Developer"
With this press CTRL + SHIFT + Y and click over the logo, then you will see the files and the specific lines that affect on it.
-
your logo is in your template folder, inside in the folder images, find it, change it (keep the width and height from the original template logo) and upload it, if you want to change the width and height, you must change the css folder(probably the layout.css)............ops i am late one minute
-
ok. i think i got it about the logo.
What about the website's banner???
i use the iosclean template.
-
ok i found somethin here...
the whole banner is just colours but which one is it in css?
should i check in the layout?
edit: I found which one is the colour of the "banner"
-
Try module Logo Multi Language (downloads/miscellaneous/206.html) and read manual how to use it. I think that this will give you this you want.
Welcome to Elxis!

here i am again.
This time i would like to know how can i add an extension without adding it straight from the administrators panel.
i want that becaise some of the extensions i want to add do not appear through the show more bots or something.
so i found them i downloaded them and i tried to put them in folders or install them through the panel but i just couldnt.
edit
ok i got it...
-
ok...
-
Ok i am back...
2 issues this time
Number 1 i am trying to use an image viewer like Easy Gallery or Multithumb... i have pictures in photobucket and then i got them in my server but i just need help.
Clearly i am doing something wrong.
I cant get either of them to work.
Number 2 i am trying to add the superfish menu to make my top menu rollover every time i get my mouse over them but again i dont know how to make it work...
PLEASE please i need some guidance...
edit: sorry if i am getting out of topic cause i firstly put it in templates issues...
-
1) Don't use multithumb if u want create an image gallery. Much Better Easy gallery, more speedy and more light than multithumb.
2) define your menus and their submenus as usual. ex: in mainmenu
in eisfish_menu assign mainmenu and publish the module in the module position you want of your template. unpublish the mainmenu module.
in EDC you find the link to guide online of eifishmenu ;)
