Changing the banner to be a .jpg file

Sun, 05/12/2010 - 13:12 — corine

I would like to use a .jpg file instead of my current banner. I know how to change the logo and title but I actually want to change the whole top bit of the screen and use my own .jpg instead.

Someone told me the key was in page.tpl.php but I do not know how to do php yet so any hing as to what I need to do in that file or anywhere else is welcome please.

I use the Salamander theme, but that shouldn't make any difference?

Thanks you very much,

Corine

Be bold.. dive into that

Be bold.. dive into that page.tpl.php

First of all check your page source (or, better, use the Firebug plugin which almost all developers use when building sites) to see what the current banner image file is and where it is referenced in the HTML.

Then go to the salamander theme folder, make a backup of your page.tpl.php, and go ahead and edit the part that refers to the image so that it includes the one of your choice.

Good luck!
