How can I replace the forum name with a banner?

This action can be simply done by finding the code that displays the forum name:

Copy to clipboardCode:
', $context['forum_name'], '


and replacing that part with a image script:

Copy to clipboardCode:
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/IMAGE.GIF" border="0">

Note you have to change the image name in the code and place your image in your images folder of every theme because it will take the image from the users theme directory.

And some may want the banner clickable, to do that, use this instead of the above.

Copy to clipboardCode:
<a href="URL"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/IMAGE.GIF" border="0"></a>

And if you want it aligned [Center, left, right] use this code instead.

Copy to clipboardCode:
<center><img src="", $settings['images_url'], '/IMAGE.GIF" align="center"></center>

It's in the file index.template.php of the theme you are using. Look in the direcory /Themes/

How do I modify files?

The current text is

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" width="250" style="float: right;" alt="" />
               <span style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';

I have uploaded my file like it told me to and renamed it. so this is the text i have now

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" width="250" style="float: right;" alt="" />
               <span style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;"><Left><img src="", $settings['images_url'], '/norcalforums.gif" align="left"></left>

------------ Before I do it is this right ?

[xenovanis]

Try this

Code Select Expand


<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" width="250" style="float: right;" alt="" />
<img src="", $settings['images_url'], '/norcalforums.gif" align="left">';

I think I broke it REAL good this time.

I copied the exact text but now when I go to the forum I get this .

Template Parse Error!

There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

this is the code

 

Code Select Expand

                    // This part is the logo and forum name.  You should be able to change this to whatever you want...
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" width="250" style="float: right;" alt="" />
<img src="", $settings['images_url'], '/norcalforums.gif" align="left">'; echo '
</td>
</tr>
