Changing picture on theme
Permalink
I'm new to concrete5 and basically new to design all together. If I installed a theme for the site how do I change the picture that the theme came with? Thank you.
It is the picture that came with the design template itself at the top of the page. It is the Yosemite template. I would like to delete that picture and possibly add a new picture in its place. Thank you.
Looks like its a background image if I am looking at right template. What I am not clear on is whether you have integrataed this template to C5.
You could have this set up so image area is a div where the image should go and just add a image block to insert/edit an image in that area. Its really down to customising the HTML into Concrete5 templates to fit as needed. See:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/...
However, if you are already using the template and the background image is simply being called like "http://www.freecsstemplates.org/previews/yosemite/images/img06.gif" you could simply upload a different image called img06.gif to override the orginal and that should do it. Or otherwise change the appropiate HTML in your template.

Hi,
I'm the one who put the Yosemite theme up on the marketplace. Unfortunately, you cannot change the header image easily from within Concrete5. You need to replace the actual image file on your server:
YOURSITE/packages/theme_yosemite/themes/yosemite/images/img06.gif
You can do that with an FTP program, or through you web host's "CPanel". I would download the existing one and look at it to see what the dimensions are (also you'll probably want to recreate the border around the edge with your new image so it blends in with the background properly). Then when you have your new image ready, save it as a GIF and call it "img06.gif", then upload that to the server, replacing the one that's already there.
Let me know if you run into any trouble with this.

Hi Jordan I am a true Newby, I usually use word press but this time I wanted to just create a website and I like the Blog as a Tab/Page in Concrete5.
I really like your template, it has been a breeze adding blocks and page structures,so awesome... but this header change thing is beyond my experience. In the CPanel do I still have to set up a FTP Program from there to change the image? I could not figure it out using the file manager from the C-Panel it gave a list of files, but I did not see a image file just a theme file and when I click on it it says its empty . I have never done this before, I usually just find a template that has customizable options in word press. But I really like what I have done on your template and I want to not only change the image but would really like an image slider for the header. Is it possible? If so please explain it step by step like I am 5 years old. ;-)

I unfortunately can't explain it step by step because the exact steps are different for every different web hosting company (because they all use slightly different Control Panel software).
If you can send me a private message (click on my username here in the forum and then click the "Send a Message" button or something like that) with the login info for your web hosting Control Panel (the login URL, name and password), I can take a quick peek and tell you exactly where to click.

Can you provide more info so forum members can help. Which image are you referring to, is it the theme picture you'll see in dashboard when changing the theme or an image is the actual template design itself?
