Help needed finding table placement on default theme header.

[sbarnes]

Hi there,
Have been looking at the index.template but just confuse myslef.

Please see picture attached.

I want to 'split the cell' that contains the logged in time, messages waiting etc into two columns.

Where I have put the X I want to put google adsense code (already have this).

I just cant work out the TR's TD's etc

look for

Code Select Expand

// Otherwise they're a guest - this time ask them to either register or login - lazy bums...
else
{
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/sha1.js"></script>

<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" class="middletext" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0;"', empty($context['disable_login_hashing']) ? ' onsubmit="hashLoginPassword(this, \'' . $context['session_id'] . '\');"' : '', '>
<input type="text" name="user" size="10" /> <input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
<option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
<span class="middletext">', $txt['smf52'], '</span>
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
</form>';
}

echo '
</td><td>text here</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

See where I have text here replace that with you add, you will need t play with horizontal alignment

Thank you sloopz, will check it out.

o.k I have got close but not quite close enough.
Here is the code I need to put in that gap you mentioned/ created:

Code Select Expand

//Ad management code to display ads on top of the menubar

if ($modSettings['ad_management_index_above'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))
echo '<div align="',$modSettings['ad_management_align'],'">',$modSettings['ad_management_content'],'</div>';

I'm not good at php and played around with the ', ; etc and managed to get it to work but it looked messy.
Also the background colour of that cell was wrong.

How would I put the above code in place keeping the same background colour? Baring in mind I use the default theme and a colour change theme based on the default (seperate style.css)

on the <td> tag where I said add the following class="windowbg" inside the tag

[sbarnes]

Thanks again sloopz,

I actually needed class="windowbg2" but hey same thing.

Thanks for your help, got it sorted thanks to you.

I am trying to do the same exact thing....
And this is teh error i get.

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/default/index.template.php on line 293

284: <input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
285: <span class="middletext">', $txt['smf52'], '</span>
286: <input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
287: </form>';
288: }
289:
290: echo '
291: </td>
292: <td>
293: if ($modSettings['ad_management_index_above'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))294: echo '<div align="',$modSettings['ad_management_align'],'">',$modSettings['ad_management_content'],'</div>';</td>
295: </tr>
296: </table>
297: </td>


Have I done something wrong? I am not experianced in PHP at all... But I am trying to learn.
I am using RC2 and Default Theme.
thanks a ton for your help.

try moving the ;
to the end of that section in index.template so that it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

if ($modSettings['ad_management_index_above'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))
echo '<div align="',$modSettings['ad_management_align'],'">',$modSettings['ad_management_content'],'</div>';
echo '</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

Sorry if this is not the answer you need but I needed to do something like that and it worked.
