vekia Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 you have to modify css styles, module positions, module template files (.tpl) and also modify theme structure in /themes/YOUR_THEME/header.tpl + footer.tpl but in fact, everything depends on what you exactly expect. i want to completely customize the way my website looks it;s not enough to say what you exactly have to change. because, in fact, it means nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stottycabanas Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 i have a friend who will be doing it for me but i need to make him understand all the things before he edits my website. I think you need to provide your friend with a clear specification of your requirements, including mockups of the various site pages. Statements like 'a big search box with customized look' don't say clearly enough what you want. Once you and your friend fully understand the requirements between you, if there are further questions your friend has about how to achieve what you want, the forum will be happy to help. I assume your friend is a competent developer. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulito Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hello again Why not try one step at a time You say you are using PS 1.5.3.1and you want the logo placed in the extreme left. So, as the logo, by default, is on the left do you want this to be higher or further left so it sits outside of the default page. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vekia Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 sorry, but changes like that need custom development, not a "single line" solution i think that it will be hard to find someone who will do all of this for free, it's because you really need HUGE customization ...

The customization if 'very' robust. The power of customization lies in the back office configuration of the template. If you are running default or a simple non-responsive theme with little to know single point customization then you should seriously consider a premium paid theme. I think you would be happy if you did. There is always Joomla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
