template_body_above() function

[The Wizard]

Hello:

I am customizing the index.template.php for a forum I am working on. To get the index page to look the way I want I commented out all the code. Being unfamiliar with some of the code in index.template.php I am hoping someone could take a look and make sure I have not created a unstable version. I am thinking I should keep the forum in maintenance mode code, but I am unsure whats the best way to achieve this.

Below is the code I have commented out.

Thanks

What exactly are you trying to do? I would avoid commenting all that out as it is there for a reason. It is also posible you could achieve what you want by tweaking the CSS.

It is also posible you could achieve what you want by tweaking the CSS.

This would be a better approach.

Anyway, have W3 validator to check your page. If it isn't broken, it's good

[Kindred]

well, I see a potential issue in that you have commented out the intecept which prevents users from entering the site in Maintenance mode

[margarett]

No, the intercept happens directly in index.php

What he removes is the information to admins that the forum is in maintenance mode

[Kindred]

whoops... right.

[Bigguy]

So this is solved then. ??
