Few Questions about Layout

[wwwdjrcs]

How do I change the text color of usernames?

For instance, I am the admin on my forum, I want my name to be bolded and a different color from other members who are shown as "online"

I also want to use pictures for group titles. Instead of the text administrator, I have made custom pictures that says administrator, etc.

Lastly, how do I move the "What's Going On?" Section to the top - where it shows current and overall activity (online users, current members, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

OK, first of all I take no responsibility for any information you use from this post, I`m answering this question assuming you know a little about html, so if you don`t and need a little more help then let me know and I`ll see what I can do. This said, here goes.

To change the style of usernames in specific groups, you can go to each invidual usergroup edit section in the control panel and add a span style opening and closing tag in the boxes on the 4th row down ... For example <span style="color: red;"> in the first box and </span> in the second to color the username of people in that group red.

Pics are added to each usergroup by using the userrank section within the control panel. If you go to that section and click add new user rank, the rest is fairly self explainatory.


To move everything in whats going on, to the top of your forum. To to Edit templates for the style you want to move the section on. Open up the FORUMHOME template.

Copy everything from

<!-- what's going on box -->

Down to

<!-- end what's going on box -->

Paste this into notepad or something, then delete that section.

In the same template find

$navbar

Under this, paste the code you have just copied into notepad. Please BACKUP THE STYLE YOUR CHANGING before you attempt this. You`d be supprised how easy it is to mess this up at times.

Hope this helps
