Title: I only wana change my banner!! please help ?
Post by: mikeabbafeatures on July 16, 2004, 08:24:37 AM
Hi all,

My forum has been updated to the latest version and I now have a new forum in the new version. I wana change the banner at teh top from: http://www.blackberrystudios.co.uk/abbaforum2/Themes/classic/images/smflogo.gif

to something else. Do you have to upload it to the forum or can you use an image from a different site, this is the one I want to use:

http://www.abbafeatures.com/Web%20pics/forum.jpg    is that possible, when I try and edit the theme the "Save Changes" button is diabled.

Can anyone help ?

Mike.

Make the theme files writeable with ftp or with the command:
chmod 777 index.template.php
chmod 777 style.css

As soon as the files are writable the save button will be activated.


P.S. I deleted the duplicate post in the other forum - please don't double post.

To answer the question, you can go into the templates and change the filename, or you can simply name your graphics selogo.gif and upload it to overwrite the same file.
