Change banner?

[SGA360]

I am looking to change my banner. I was trying to create a Forum similar to 2K Sports and the default version with red color was the closest I could find. You can view my Forums at hxxp:2kgaming.com/forums [nonactive]. The top section it says Forums, is there a way I can remove that rectangular box and add my own banner that has the same width?

ok you want to remove the top (where it says forum) and add yoru own banner.

look in index.template.php for

Code Select Expand

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="32">';

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo '
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" style="margin: 4px;" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" />';

echo '
</td>
<td align="right" class="catbg">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

and make it

Code Select Expand

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="32">
<img src="INSERTLOGOHERE.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>';

where i have INSERTLOGOHERE.gif put the url to your logo.

I have left the catbg class in the above but you can simply remove that.

I appreciate you posting back. I still though am having a problem, I can't find the file, index.template.php. I have searched the other index files and do not find any of the code similar to the code you posted above.

I can assure its there

The file is found in Themes/red

[SGA360]

Hmm, interesting. There is one folder, which is images. Then there are two other files, which are style.css and theme_info.xm. Maybe I am missing something.

okay you are going to need to modify the one in the default theme (please make a copy just incase)
