Hi
Been a good year and the half since my spouse and i posted in these but im back again building and working on sites again after a lengthy break. Quick question your ive built a banner for any friend who possesses this forum:
http: //www. the-darkside-uk. com/phpbb/
How on earth do i obtain the banner onto that forum. he also wants it to perform right across the top part is this doable
many thanks
phpBB uses skins offering the look and feel for the website. If you look inside root phpBB index, there should be a directory identified as skins (or styles or templates, undecided which). Inside, you will discover. tpl files matching to various regions of the pages which are constructed. That’s where you want to be editing files.
Damm i understand no php by any means ill have to see if i gets this template file and have another request
You include two choices:
1) Re-code the phpbb to feature the name from the logo you produced (not very easy) but is the answer.
OR
2) Name the banner an individual created " _logo. gif" and place it within this directory " /phpbb/templates/subVereor/images/"
You simply must play with the actual banner’s sizing to obtain it to the liking, right at this point the banner can be 336 x 94. If you want more detailed help i want to know. Here is an example of one I tailored:

Excellent! thanks mate ill have a very play over weekend break
Actually, to address both the lack of understanding of PHP and the supposed difficulty connected with re-coding’ phpBB, each are inaccurate. To begin with, you wouldn’t must recode phpBB, you’d really need to change the actual template files. Second of all, I do definitely not believe the theme files have virtually any PHP in all of them, they’re just simple HTML.
well if thats the truth rock on!!
Accurate the template is definitely html, but you would have to have a expertise in php to know which template ended up being called upon with the top of your page. He also would like to make the banner full page size, I believe, which might require some php re-coding.
Don’t need any kind of php knowledge whatsoever. It’s all html code. Bad html, but html in the least
overall_header. tpl is a file you’ll really want. Also grab overall_footer if you want to to close table/div tags.
Be sure to leave the the initial template folder as well, just copy the idea and edit individuals files.
The benefit of relatively very good coding (which phpBB is usually, for the most part) is that things are named thus to their function. Stylise was kind enough to figure out the appropriate format file, and you will observe it makes perfect sense for the reason that name of the file lets you know what it may.
Ive only tried the changing the _logo. gif to begin with! Looks total poor quality my logo was squashed in to the corner and altered.
Im guessing so that they can make a brand that spreads across the entire top on the table i need to edit the code.
The code for the actual overall_header! what lines im i thinking about to get the effect i’d like to see here
