We hear it many times...
"How can I make my header image expandable to screen width?"

This tutorial will help you accomplish this task.

Requirements:
  • A bit of html knowledge;
  • photo editor;
  • and, photo editing.
Let's Get Started!

Let's start with a 780px header image ... you can use the example image below...




Then Crop the leftside (your logo part):





And save it as head_left.gif







Second crop the right side of the header image as shown below:



And save as head_right.gif





Next select background image -just 1 or 2px width like shown below:



Crop the selected part and save it as headbg.gif:




Now load all the three images to the misc folder of images...

Next goto admincp> styles&templates> style manager> all style options>

scroll down to header




Delete the existing code complete and insert the follow there:

Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/headbg.gif)">
<tr>

<td align="left" valign="top"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_left.gif"  border="0" alt=""/></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_right.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output
Updated the code above and just change the gif/jpg name you are using...

Hey guys, great tutorial thanks! I got this working for the most part on my forum, but I have a couple small issues:

http://gixxerpaddock.com/index.php

1) Why can you only click on the left side of the image and have it take you to the "home link" instead of anywhere on the image? If I click anywhere else in the header, I get cursor placement.

2) How do I get rid of the spacing on both sides that runs from the top to bottom of the page? (dark blue in color, few pixels wide) I'm sure it's some sort of setting like in the "Sizes and Dimensions" area, just can't figure out which one.


I think that's it for now. I used the code supplied in the first post.

Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/headbg.gif)">
<tr>

<td align="left" valign="top"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_left.png"  border="0" alt=""/></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_right.png" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

That is interesting me too.
I've tried to add "<a href=....." to spacer and right image too, but come not good!
Any solution to all 3 pieces of logo be clickable?

Cyb - Flash-Image Banner Rotator
Can anyone help me place CYB Flash Image Banner in this header code so the banners will show on top of the right side image. I have asked the developer of that mod for help as well here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=197

PROBLEM: No matter where I place the code for that mod in this header code the banners do not align correctly on top of the right side image as they should.

Anyone know how to get this header code to work with this mod?
