Title: How Do I Hide Forum Title?
Post by: dtm.exe on March 18, 2005, 05:10:02 PM
OK, if you go to www.oi-forums.com , you'll see that ugly OI Forums text at the top of the page.  What do I have to edit out of index.template.php to get rid of the title?

<span style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>

Dan,
       I am in the same position. I want to put a nice header in and noticed that you have managed to do so on oi-forums. What code do I have to add to index.template.php to point to my new header image after I have removed the default 'My community' text.

My forum is at http://www.planetarypolitics.com/forum/index.php

I haven't set up the http redirect from the main url yet.

Thanks in advance :)

it's in the Graphic FAQ

find
Code Select
', $context['forum_name'], '

Replace with an image script
Code Select
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/IMAGE.GIF" border="0">

replace "IMAGE.GIF" with the actual file name.

Hey..
In smf 1.1 RC2 just look for
Code Select
<td align="right" class="myheader" valign="top" style="height: 50px; border: solid 1px #a0a0a0; ">'.$context['forum_name'].'<br /></td>
and delete or change with whatever you want
Code Select
forum_name

Did that.  Killed my forums.  Got a blank page now.

Restored a backup index.template.php and it's still a blank page.

Maybe you modified the wrong file...

If you haven't got any mods installed you can re-upload all files except install.php, settings.php, update.php and upgrade.php

I'm pretty sure I did the right file.

But I just labled it a lost cause and am re doing everything.  Supprisingly, even with all my mods, it'll only take a couple days to get it back to what it was.  It was still in it's testing phase and didn't have any members/posts.

No big loss.

Thanks for all the selfless service.
My! I almost wrecked my forum trying to solve this one on my own.
