Title: Archway theme
Post by: Allan on May 24, 11, 02:11:23 PM
Just wanted to start off by saying great theme l love it.

I was wondering however how do I change the size of the logo and center it horizontally.I know i can replace the logo.png but would the .css handle the size i make or would i have to make it larger on there.

#logo {
    background: url(../images/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: block;
    height: 50px;
    left: 1em;
    position: absolute;
    top: 7.5em;
    width: 159px;

OK,

In  your index.css
this is where you may adjust your Logo size, I would not recommend centering a logo, because it will mess up the user area.

This is the code to look for:
#logo {
    background: url("../images/img/logo.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: block;
    height: 50px;                <! -- logo Height -->
    left: 1em;
    position: absolute;
    top: 5em;
    width: 159px;                <! -- logo width -->
}


You should not make your log too big to fit this will stretch the log area and mess up you other stuff.

You will need photo editor of some sort to re-size you log, I can do it for if you want!

regards,
Maxx

Title: Re: Archway theme
Post by: Allan on May 24, 11, 03:02:21 PM
Maxx i was thinking of just center up and down so it's not top aligned ir myabe adding padding from the top like 10 pixels.
Thank you both so much for helping

yes you may work with the "top settings" in the code that Crip and I gave you. but adjust little at a time like .2em +  to lower.

after you upload your logo!

maxx

css/index.css Find:

/* logo / slogan */
#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 5em;
left: 1em;
display: block;
width: 159px;
height: 50px;
cursor: pointer;
background: url(../images/img/logo.png) no-repeat;
}


Replace With:

/* logo / slogan */
#logo a {   <===== SEE THE A ====>
position: absolute;
top: 5em;
left: 1em;
display: block;
width: 159px;
height: 50px;
cursor: pointer;

any chance you would be able to tell where in at the bottom of the main index i could add a paypal donate code?
Title: Re: Archway theme
Post by: Maxx on May 27, 11, 12:47:15 PM
If you are using TP ( TinyPortal ) you may place the donate button and or ads,  easily most anywhere you like, in one of the block L.R, Top or Bottom!

You could prolly add a cut - out >Divide /'> with in the header area .. it's been done before.
Title: Re: Archway theme
Post by: Allan on May 27, 11, 01:37:31 PM

you could put it in the Footer-area the same way
Title: Re: Archway theme
Post by: Allan on May 27, 11, 02:50:33 PM
would that go in the index.css and not would you happen to know how i would add it.I'm not a coder so i get lost in the mess lol.
I can edit codes but have a hard time adding things like this.
Title: Re: Archway theme
Post by: Crip on May 27, 11, 03:48:51 PM
myself , i'd use a single <div  /> code in both -- [ css/index.css ]  / [ index.Template.php ] .. not a bad job to do.

If you aren't using a Portal, as Maxx suggested, and you don't want to change the theme code, there is a Global Headers and Footers Mod over at SMF that might work good for this --> http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=351

Yes I have used this mod many times, but was not certain it was up date, but if not you still should be able to install, with some edits!  And if your careful you may also use HTML in there. and some banner code, like google ads! ( adsense )
