Changing the Header Text - Joomla Templates PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 01 September 2009 09:40

So you have decided on a Joomla templates created by ZeroTemplates.com?  Awesome! But only one problem...  How the heck do you change the "ZeroTemplates - Your Slogan Text Here" message that is displayed in the header???

For a novice this can be frustrating not knowing where to look to change this.  I appologise in advance for this, this is a manual file editing process for all Joomla templates that I created prior to the 1st of September 2009.  For all templates after this date I made the header text reflect what is set in the Joomla Administration site name field, something I should have done in the first place, doh!

Ok so how do you change this?  Its pretty simple really, it just involves you manually editing the index.php file in the template files.

To do this, follow the below instructions:

  • Browse to where you saved the template zip file and unzip it
  • Double click on the unziped folder
  • Double click on index.php and open it with notepad
  • Press CTRL F and search for:  class="logo"
  • The search results should take you to the below snippet of code

    <div class="logo">
     <h1 id="name-text" class="logo-name"><a href="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/">ZeroTemplates</a></h1>
     <div id="slogan-text" class="logo-text">Your Slogan Text Here</div>
    </div>

  • To change the Logo text to your logo, simply edit where it says "ZeroTemplates" and "Your Slogan Text Here" and replace it with your site name and slogan text, or if you prefer not to have any text in the header, just leave it blank
  • Save changes
  • Zip up the folder again
  • Import the changed template back in to Joomla

**Be careful not to edit anything else in this file as you could destroy how the template displays**
