The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.

The original JA Purity template was provided from JoomlArt.com as a zip but the latest files have been installed along with Joomla. The relevant files, logo.gif (used for PNG transparency problems) and logo.png, are in the following directory:

    templates/ja_purity
        images

If you've been following the tutorial you can download a tutorial version of the template that installs to the following directory:

    templates/my_japurity
        images
  1. Create an new image, width: 207 pixels , height: 80 pixels using any graphics editor such as Gimp.
  2. Save the image as both a PNG and a Gif to the template images directory. Make sure you overwrite the existing logo.gif and logo.png files.
  3. Edit, Save, Test till you are satisfied with your new logo.

If you decide later to change the size of the header area then you'll want to change the size of your images to match.
