Title: Making the community name come up on the windows bar w/o showing up on the forum
Post by: celestia. on July 12, 2009, 11:31:28 AM

Is there a way to change the forum title that gets displayed in the top windows bar so that it does not appear on the actual forum? By SMF default, the forum name appears in the top windows bar. It would not be a problem except I don't want the text-link to appear on the actual forum (as it does when you select a text link instead of a header image)
I've done a google search but i don't seem to be using the correct terminology for what i'm after.

What version of SMF are you using and what theme?

Please bear in mind this may not be exactly the same since this is not a default theme.

Find:

Code Select

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
		echo '
					<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';

Replace with:

Code Select

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
		echo '
					<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; "></span>';

That should do it.

Sorry, this may be all too obvious, but which file should I be looking at?

Settings.template.php or Settings.php ...or a completely different one?

I actually just edited it within the forum using the configuration links to 'modify themes'.

Thank you very much :)
Do you have tips for searching this forum? I usually do a quick search, but some of the queries get so technical that I'm not sure i'm looking for it until I've actually read through it.

What editor should be used to modify any of these files? or the best suggested editors?
