Adding the slideshow block at the top

Permalink
Hi guys,
I'm new here. I have installed the concrete5 in my site and it's awesome.

My question is: we can add slideshow block to the pages. But I want to display a Slideshow, just like in the default theme(Plain Yogurt). That is at the top position, in other free themes like Pluralism, Coolwater, etc..

What all changes do I have to do ?

If the theme wasn't designed to have an editable area in the header, then unfortunately there's not much you can do (unless you want to go into the theme html/css and edit it -- but you need to be familiar with how html/css works in order for that to be a viable option).

Not the best answer, I know, but part of your decision for which theme to use should be "does this have areas that I can edit in the proper places?" -- and if not, it means you need to move on and use a different theme instead (or modify the theme html/css yourself).

Thanks.

I know the basics of HTML, CSS, PHP, etc. But never reaches the knowledge that you guys would have. :)

So, if you can guide me where to look for the template file and where to edit, it would be great.

If you DO KNOW html, you can add the following code in your templates:

<?php 
$a = new Area('My New Area');
$a->display($c);
?>


This will create a new area for you to add whatever blocks you would like.

Hi,

If you want the slideshow block on the top, then you need to add this in header.php inside themes/elements


Thanks

Thanks.

But both "Themes" folder and "Elements" folder (in the root directory) are empty !

Did you mean Packages-->[theme name]-->themes-->elements-->header.php ?
