Hello

I don't know how to add some picture at the header of Forum.

I am using your BlackBox theme and I want to add some picture.

I know that I mus goto files and find index.template.php and then open it and find something like div.class.ctbg and replace it with something else but i can't find it.

OK first you'll need to back up your style sheet> then you can do this, but keep ing mind that you need to maintain an image size 150 pixels in height and the width set as you wrapper width is set!

in your index.css... find this:

Code Select Expand

#header {
    background: url("../images/img/hdrb.gif") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #0A0A0A;
    height: 150px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}
#head-r {
    background: url("../images/img/hdrr.gif") no-repeat scroll 100% 0 transparent;
    height: 150px;
}
#head-l {
    background: url("../images/img/hdrl.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}

and you'll need to replace with this and please note the "xxxx" will be the name of your background image, that you upload to the file indicated in the code>!

Code Select Expand

#header {
    background: url("../images/img/xxxx.gif") no-repeat #0A0A0A;

   /*url("../images/img/hdrb.gif") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #0A0A0A; */
    height: 150px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}
#head-r {
    background: Transparent;
    /* url("../images/img/hdrr.gif") no-repeat scroll 100% 0 transparent; */
    height: 150px;
}
#head-l {
    background: Transparent;
   /* url("../images/img/hdrl.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; */
}

Note the above is one way, I think, so you logo will appear on top of the BG image!

The problem is that in my Forum Files I dont have indek.css ,I only have index.php and index.php~

And I didnt understood,what mean to change sheet like you said,cause I didnt changed it cause I dont know what it means!

[Maxx]

It will be in the Themes/blackbox/css/index.css

or from the admin
admin > configuration > current theme > Modify the stylesheets. (colors, fonts, etc.) > then click on index.css > then you can make the edits I mentioned.

But if you think you may not be able to do this, please PM me you Temporary admin access and I will  try to help you, if you give me all the image details!

regards,
Maxx

Another note is that your image needs to be named the same is in the css code ie: gif, png for transparent images, and if you image is not the smae shade as the background it may not look too good!

OK on this the max width of the picture should be the width of you forum, like if your forum is set to the width of 990px then the image should be the same, the height should be approx, 150 pixels unless you want the height large you can the change the Height setting in the css code where it show 150px at this time. but the one on the page you showed me ( the other site is way too large for me!

You can play with the forums width through the current them settings I showed you above, but just click on current them and then scroll down you'll see it!!

good luck.

On the TP portal you do not need to know code, for most setting up of blocks can be done by the feature settings in or under "blocks"  in the TP admin control panel, for more info on the you can contact Zarprime at the TP site, he can translate Spanish, if necessary:

VK97_CRO_Vlado,

I, or one of the other support staff at TinyPortal, can help you with adding blocks, etc. to your site if you are using TinyPortal.  However, I looked at your site at http://samp.goodluckwith.us/smf/index.php but it looks like you have ADK Portal installed there rather than TinyPortal, unless you are talking about another site.

If you want help with TinyPortal, you can join the TinyPortal site at http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php and then post your questions in the Support board there --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?board=25.0

Jim,

I saw that also but figured he was unhappy with that, and down loaded TP, but needs help before he uses it???

Hey, NP Maxx, I guess we'll sort it out when he posts again.

[VK97_CRO_Vlado]

Thank You guys for helping me,I've never seen before so good admins.

I will post an topic on TinyPortal's Forum.

Thank You,greatest admins

[Crip]

we like helping ..

[VK97_CRO_Vlado]

That's fine I've seen alot of admins dont want to help cause they don't have time.

VK,

You should probably not have 2 portals installed at the same time, they cause conflicts and possibly even damage your database tables or crash you forum system,. I saw your site had TP and Simple portal both installed.

I would un-install the latest one you installed first and then the other and then install only the one you want to test or try out by it's self.

If you try to un-install anyone of them, do not proceed and please let me know so maybe I can try to help correct this!

Please ask if you have any doubts! or questions!
and too many mods of any kind is not a good thing my friend!

regards,
Maxx
