Can't center my header

[katie hunter]

Hey,

I am trying to center my header but it just doesn't work, i tried playing around and still didn't get how to center it.

or trying to use a bigger banner , width wise

I can't even use a bigger banner =/ current default width 516, if i use a banner around 700 width, it doesn't show it all, it only show it until the 516 width, i tried to edit the header code from 516 to 700 and the banner was even more messed up.

Header code


<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="296"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" width="516" border="0"></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg">
<tr></td>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><td valign="top" width="296"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" width="516" border="0"></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>

Try that if it dont work post back

Can something like this be done to the Forum Jump also, to center it?

[Reecey]

i will just check how i centered the header on my forum ill post back or edit.

[edit] yeh that should work

[SpreadingLight]

Thanks for checking. Now I have to see how exactly I modify the code to work with $forumjump.

I tried

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center">
$forumjump (and all the rest of the forumjump code)
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and the forumjump menu was aligned to the left.

The code worked at this neat test table html window:

There seems to be some code aligning the forumjump code to the left.


ADD: apologies for interrupting the thread :o I had thought the original question was solved.

I've tried it but it didn't work. It is so buggy and the guy who made it , didn't tell me how to center it.

Briefly looking over your code the <td> tags are out of place. While the code (below) may not resolve the entire issue it will make things more managable:


<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div style="margin:0 auto">
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg">
<tr valign="top">
<td align="$stylevar[left]" width="516px"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg" border="0" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output



After you apply these changes we can go from there. Since I don't have the URL to your site I'll need to see the images:

header_bg.jpg
header_left.jpg
header_right.jpg

[Reecey]

do ya want me to give it a go on your forum link me to it and make me a user make me admin and restrict my perms to styles and languages and send me the info via pm of password sit link and username and ill give it a go :D

[Freesteyelz]

Seriously, you don't need admin access to fix the issue. I can help you without it.

[Reecey]

oh and how else are you ment to do it :mad:

I'm getting sick of people moaning when i say i will help. if she restricts my permissions what the HELL can i do. im helping her out.

you know what its up to her .

[Freesteyelz]

All I need is the header code and to see the images used (as specified in post #8). While the URL would be nice (so I can see the layout) it's not necessary.

I'm not preventing you from helping her. I'm just giving Katie another option.

[snakes1100]

@Reecey
i think you took Freesteyelz post a little to much to heart, you dont really need admin access to help ppl, simply posting the code for them to use is sufficiant.

I was wondering why are you trying to wrap a td tag around the start of a table tag to center it and close the td tag before the end of the table tag?

I will pm you the url ;)

Reecey thanks for the help but i don't give admin permission to anyone, i am really paranoid when it comes to stuff like these, I've lost my old vb software, domain and other modification because i trusted people, No offense but i am highly paranoid when it comes to admin stuff but thanks <333

I dont understand why you dont post your URL, seeing as its easy to find anyways.

[Freesteyelz]

I'll post the updates here so anyone who has taken the time will know what's been done.

EUREEEEEKA IVE GOT IT :D

here right in your "header" template search for this :

<img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

Once you've found it replace it with this :

<td align="center"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

And you will end up with the header being in the center like :
http://soundhabbo.com/forum/index.php?styleid=28

There ya go :D

It is Arika, if that is what you mean by my admin name =]
I will try it and let you know if it works.

Hmm what about this one ?

I can't even use a bigger banner =/ current default width 516, if i use a banner around 700 width, it doesn't show it all, it only show it until the 516 width, i tried to edit the header code from 516 to 700 and the banner was even more messed up.

This is the new banner i want to use but it doesn't fully show.

Okay.... Thanks :)
I will test it and let you know

but

WEll all i want now is how to use a bigger banner, width wise, the default banner width is 516 but i want to use the banner i made which is 700 wide. If you just try to edit the number from 516 to 700 in the header, it will mess the header totally, it won't fix it.

[Reecey]

it could be because of the size setting's of the style i can't really say what is the problem as i can't see it

I've been trying to center the header on my own website and this advise really helped. Thanks so much!! :D
