Hi there,
I'm a bit of a newbie, so please be gentle!
I have sussed out how to use the templates from soholaunch addon site. I have worked out how to download them and make a few very simple changes- to font size and type etc. I also understand the logic behind changing some of the images on template that are able to swap out images and change them for others.
My first problem is 1- when I swap out an image for another renamed exactly the same so I've not had to change any html code, I then zip the files again and upload and update the template; on viewing it, I'm left with the little red crosses where the image should be. I have looked for broken links but found none. Any ideas?
My second problem is when I create a template using template builder, I want to change the size and font of the main logo at the top of the homepage. I realize I might have to download it, change it and re- upload it again. Where can I download it from? I cant find it in my file manager?
Sorry for such a long post.

Mind you, apart from that soho is great!

Your procedure sounds correct but obviously something is not quite right. Right mouse click on the image with broken link and select "view". This brings up the red cross on a page on its own and you can note the url (really the file name in full path) on the top of the browser. You can then see if it is indeed missing at that particular location.

As with all templates, it is stored in this folder: sohoadmin/program/modules/site_templates/pages/template_name/ (Substitute the real template name).
