.psd .html & image folder uploads

… such has been my obsession for the past two days.

I finally found a way to get my paypal.de account to receive money. Apparently, the German PayPal does not work like the ‘normal/standard’ PayPal that I have been use to. I have to transfer money from my bank account to my PayPal account, which takes days.

So, I needed to do this in order to join a template club. Ummm.. meaning I get 4 months of access and support to a site that created templates for purchase and download, as well as 4 templates that I can use each on two domains each.

The site is called www.Gavick.com and I am guessing that the Forum Moderator, Robert Gavick is one of if not THE creator of these amazing Joomla based templates.

I downloaded the template ‘News Portal’ that I have been eyeing for about a month now. I managed to figure out how to change the source .psd  file in Photoshop for editing out their logo and placing the DF eu one. I also did a few colour changes to the fonts and removed unnecessary background layers that I did not want. I wanted the look of modules floating …

I viewed the completed work (which took hours by the way), in Image Ready .. and then in the Safari Browser. It looked exactly as I had wanted it to look.

I saved the file as ‘web page’ which then generated an .html file and the corresponding image folder.

I transferred the image folder to the portable memory stick and gave it to M to upload to the cpanel of the domain admin site. I could easily do this myself but he is not letting me access that part of the domain backend for fear that I will screw up something no doubt.  It wouldn’t be so bad if our other domains are not on this server, so …

When the image folder was uploaded, all 158 .png files I was excited. I clicked on the df.eu site in the fave tab bar and OMG… it was totally NOT what I had created nor what I viewed on Image Ready and Safari. A lot of elements were missing. This is extremely frustrating. I had worked for hours editing the .psd file and making sure that I did everything right to make it look like how I wanted it to look like – for the end result.

I immediately logged onto the Gavick Forum site and posted a HELP!!!!

M started to trouble shoot too. I appreciate his effort and time but honestly, I think I should just wait for the people that created the template to get back to me. I gave them a step by step what I did thing .. as well as two possible reasons why I thought it did not work.

AUGH….

There is ONE good news though. The payment for the domain hosting site that I signed up for went through so I hope the guys on that end prepare my account so that I could work on the Tech Savvy Tech Sexy site.

I am really excited because this will be the first time where I will have full control of the backend of a domain site. More like having TOP SECRET access in the FBI.

More headaches and frustrations to come I am sure .. but at least it is all for learning.

Now, if only the Gavick admins reply in a timely manner before I go bonkers.
