Hello. I have a bit of a problem. I recently opened some new forums using SMF. I love SMF because they are the only forums that don't give me a bunch of problems, they're fast, and easy. The only problem is they don't have a huge following of styles and mods like phpBB or the other big guys. Anyway, I finally managed to find an okay template, but there's one problem. It doesn't show a banner at the top. Instead, it has this user information bar thing. While that's all fine and dandy, it's really hard to see what the site is named! You would have to look in the breadcrumbs, URL, or the window. I would like to know how I could somehow change the template so it shows a banner instead of that bar. I tried looking around the CCS to find where the header section is, but I had no luck. I've had some experience in HTML and such, but I've never really fooled around with CCS. If anyone knows how SMF templates work, and could either tell me how to change it, or do it themselves, I would really appreciate it. You can see my forums here: http://forums.smoking-weed.com and download the template to see for yourself here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=349;id=3619 Thanks a lot for your help, Greg
In your admin area, browse to current theme, you will then see a box with the title, Logo image URL: simply enter the logo path and filename ie /logo.jpg save it and it should display on the op of your forum. hope this helps aubenrey
Well, that would work great if my template had a place of the banner, but it doesn't. For some reason, this person decided not to have a banner in the top of the template, and I was wondering what I code I could put in there to allow a banner to show.
I have not used smf for quite sometime may i suggest you asking on the SMF forum, I am sure you will get a quicker answer there then here.
which bar do you mean? the one with the login form or the navigation bar? If it's the login info, you need to start editing template.index from line 185 till line 322 For the menu, it on line 326. Before you do anything do backup the templates just in case you need to revert back
