Adding image to CMS layout?
 

I run a forum using vB 4 with CMS, and would like to add an informational banner at the top of the main page, in the form of a png image. As in, a part of the CMS layout and below the normal banner.

I've managed to make the CMS layout work for this (see the dark yellow space above, where I can add a widget):

But so far, I haven't found a way to actually add a static image to a layout slot instead of a widget. Is this possible?

The layout is just for the widgets. Where they get parked on the page.
Pop this in your additional.css and adjust as needed.
This may not work as it sits but it'll give you a starting point.

I got the image added and working (thanks! :)) - however, the middle section of the CMS needs to be moved down for it not to overlap - how can I accomplish this?

EDIT: I managed to move the section down - however, I got one last problem - I want the image to be aligned left according to the middle section of my CMS grid - right now, if I align it left it aligns with the very edge of the page, making it overlap with the left widgets. How can I solve this?

Why not just use a static HTML widget. This is kind of what they're there for...

Thanks for the suggestion - I almost solved it now, by making a custom HTML widget containing a simple <img> tag. The only remaining problem I have, is that I wish to move the entire middle section of the CMS page higher up. Right now it's lower down than the widgets on the side, with a lot of empty space above.

I can move it higher up by editing the vbcms_header_margin stylevar, but then my new image widget doesn't get moved, causing everything to overlap. Attaching images describing the issue. The "Next meeting" text is the image I added with the widget, and as you can see there's a lot of blank space above it - I'd like to move the entire middle section up.
