Editing Channel Headers?

Mon, 2005-02-28 14:00 — tasoca

I'm looking to edit my channel headers much in the same way that the Savanah
College of Art and Design school does their channel headers... (Not sure if
that's what they're called, but if you take a look at the attachment you'll see
what I mean).

I've screwed up Luminis enough times to know when I need to ask for
assistance. Can anyone provide any guidance on this?

XSL and CSS

The HTML for each channel header is built using…

$CP_ROOT/webapps/luminis/stylesheets/org/jasig/portal/layout/tab-column/nested-tables/nested-tables.xsl

Luminis allows anybody to see that file. For scad…

http://myscad.scad.edu/stylesheets/org/jasig/portal/layout/tab-column/nested-tables/nested-tables.xsl

If you look for the text: <xsl:template match="channel"> then you will see what they have done, which was to add a couple of table data tags to the header section with background images.

What we did was added a new stylesheet to the template(inside nested-tables.xsl) and used the stylesheet to change the way the channel header looked…

Once you modify nested-tables.xsl you will have to restart the web server to see the changes.

Perfect!

That was exactly what I was looking to do. Thank you very much Madison.
