Forumhome - Logo and Border

[Cmdr LaForge]

Hey...

Currently I have been working rather hard and diligently at souping up our forums. Since we're redesigning everything I wanted the forums to match the website.

The problem I run into is I want the logo to sit right on top of the navbar like thing. And I searched a little but didn't find any help on it. It's not really a modification request just some template help maybe.

The same goes for the border. I'd like to do something like this forum style or the vB.org. Not the same thing... but the concept of having everything within a border. Which again would be templates.

Anyone could point me in the right direction. I'd appreciate it.

As for the header you could try to insert this somewhere on your "header template"

<table width = "100%"> <td align = "right" <img src = "your logo.gif"></td> </table>

As for the border issue I really don?t know.

I think iHCF released a mod for forum borders, If you give me the code i thiunk i can manage to get it right ontop :)

You need the header code?


Here is the header Code... it's the default unaltered version... as my toying with it did none too much.



<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
<!--
NEW HEADER &amp; NAVBAR

Now that the nav buttons are in the
navbar template, you can stick whatever
you like into this space.

This makes it much easier for novice
admins to customize their header
template without affecting important
navigation elements.

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output



iHCF? I guess I don't know what that is or who or even where. I'll do a search though.

I managed to get the Logo to snug to the navbar and such. A ltitle thing I didn't notice at first ;)


But the iHCF border didn't work for my vB Gold... or at least I didn't have the wits to figure it out.

[Zachery]

at the very top of your header template put

<table style="background: #hex; border: 1px solid #HEX;" border="0" width="PIX/%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" ><tr><td>

Then add

</td>
</tr>
</table> to the bottom of your footer template.

The same thing I got when using iHCFs. It doesn't work right or something. Here to show you what I mean.

[Zachery]

You did change the HEX values to somthing new right?

Can you post your header template? as it looks abit differnt.

[Cmdr LaForge]

Hmm... after looking over the header template there was one thing I must've accidently deleted from the line of code... it's working now.

Thanks

[Zachery]

Glad to help :) have fun!

Zachery, I know this post is old, and not even directed toward me, but I have to give you a big thanks! This was the info I needed and found (via a search here). This is exactly what I needed. Cheers!
