where do i insert text into a catagory pictire

[jjcool777]

hi i have 5 catagory sections on my forums

well i want to type what sections they are

but how do i do this so the text is in the middle of each of the catagory images,

(see pic)

[Tony G]

Can you make it a .jpg image please? .bmp's have a thing of not starting up once downloaded.

[jjcool777]

ok mate heres the jpeg screen

[jjcool777]

seems ive manages to put text centered in 1 catogry like the picture,

i.e general disscision,

but strange this is its on all the rest of my catogorie images ?

i wanted to put diffrent nameson my forum catagories, under each catagory image like the picture

but i just cant seem to work it out,

ive attached a picture on what i want to do,

(notice each catagory is named diffrent)

but the problem is,

my first top catergory title i named "general disscsion, it worked ok,

but it says general disscision on all catergory titles on the forum too ?

how do i name each catergory title seperate ?

thanx

[jjcool777]

anyone ?

[Tony G]

I still find that confusing, do you have a screenshot? Of your forum, that is.

[jjcool777]

maybe this will help you more m8,

[jjcool777]

no help ?

[Tony G]

So the same forum category name is appearing three times because of this mod?

[jjcool777]

yes tony

its appearing 3 times on my forum catogorys,
when i installed this modifacation ???
i wanted to name each forum catagory diffrent? not all the same ?

[Tony G]

I don't see how adding a center tag could do that, or a align="center".

So when you take it off all returns to normal? Are you stull using the category variable?

[jjcool777]

well i used this mod http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9&highlight=Centered

it centered my text in the catogorys

but like described in the picture above i can t change my 2nd or 3rd catogory names?

[Tony G]

Well this is really bizarre so I don't see the problem. Maybe post your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost.

[jjcool777]

[jjcool777]

anyone have any ideas ???

[dan404]

your problem is you have the forum name typed in.

<normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>General Discussion</b></normalfont>

Try removing that from each line and see if it works

[Tony G]

Don't remove it, but use a variable. Never hardcode any forum names.

View your original template to find the variable and replace General Discussion with it.

If you can't find it, I'll get it for you.

[jjcool777]

so do i remove

normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>GeneralDiscussion</b></normalfont>

from forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost??

if i remove it the dicussion wont be there anymore ?
in any catogories ?

unless i got it all wrong ??

[jjcool777]

ok if u can please find it please tony that would be great ;)

[Tony G]

Actually he is right, as you have the variable forum[title] underneath which is the varibale. This is the passage of the original code:


<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="6"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>
</tr>


So remove it, I say.

[jjcool777]

ok thanx, i done that and now theres no catagory names ?????

this is really quizing me now :(

[Tony G]

Make sure the variable $forum[title] is present and within the background code.

[jjcool777]

is there any chance you can modify my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template (above) and post the right code here please

as i dont that and its still not working ;(

been on ths 3 days now and still cant work it out

thanx in advance
