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 It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.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, header1.jpg, header2.jpg and header3.jpg, are in the following directory:

    templates/ja_purity
                 images/
                     header/
                         header1.jpg
                         header2.jpg
                         header3.jpg

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/
                     header/
                         header1.jpg
                         header2.jpg
                         header3.jpg
  1. Create an new image, width: 600 pixels , height: 80 pixels using any graphics editor such as Gimp.
  2. Save the image as a JPG to the template images/header directory. Make sure you overwrite the existing headerX.jpg files.
  3. Edit, Save, Test till you are satisfied with your new header.

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.
