theme logo and coloured names

[Mitch K.]

How do i add my own banner to the forums?

How can i add coloured forum profile names to special ranks?

I'm not sure I really understand you, Mitch.


Punctuation can totally change what you mean.


To add a logo to the theme, go to Admin>Current theme.


In there, you'll see "Logo image URL:". Just put the url for your banner/logo, there.


I don't get what you mean, with your second question, at all, I'm afraid.

hum i can't see logo image URL because I'm using different theme called mystic jade how do i add it now then ?

Should be the same.


Gimme a few minutes. I'll install the theme on my test site and get back to you.


Just in case, though, have a look at my live site:

If you want the banner at the very top, like that, I can probably help you.

Hmmm... You're right. That theme doesn't have the logo option.


I'm just gonna try a few things and see what happens.


Will report back, in a few minutes.

You should replace your logo in themes folder, Go to  Themes--(yourtheme)--images-- and find where the logo is and replace it with your logo.

To get a banner, at the top of the page, which, when clicked, takes you to your forum's homepage, this is what I did, with that theme.


Firstly, I created a new file, named "Banner.php".


That file is, simply, this:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://yourwebsite.com/index.php">
<center><img style="margin-top:6px" border="0" src="/Banner.gif" width="800" height="90" alt="Forum" title="Forum" /></a></center>


Obviously, you'll need to change "http://yourwebsite.com/index.php" "Banner.gif" and "Forum", to suit.


That needs to be saved into the root of your forum, where Settings.php is.


Then, in Mystic Jade's index.template.php file, find this line:

Code Select Expand

// The main sub template above the content.



And, on it's own line, just above that, add this line:

Code Select Expand

include 'banner.php';



and you should have a banner!
