Looking to add text to index.template.php but can't find where!

[rootuid]

I'm looking to insert some text on the main page on index.template.php. I'm looking at line 331 // The main content should go here.

Code Select Expand

// The main content should go here.
echo '
<div id="content_section"><div class="frame">
<div id="main_content_section">';

// Custom banners and shoutboxes should be placed here, before the linktree.

// Show the navigation tree.
global $user_info;

if (!empty($modSettings['show_index_message']) && !empty($modSettings['index_message_title']) && !empty($modSettings['index_message_body']) && $context['user']['is_logged'] && isset($modSettings['inactive_users']) && $user_info['posts'] < $modSettings['inactive_users']) {
echo'<br /><br />
<span class="clear upperframe"><span></span></span>
<div class="roundframe"><div class="innerframe">
<div class="cat_bar">
<h3 class="catbg">' ,parse_bbc($modSettings['index_message_title']), '</h3>
</div>
    <p>', parse_bbc($modSettings['index_message_body']), '</p>
   </div></div>
  <span class="lowerframe"><span></span></span>';
      }

// Show the navigation tree.
theme_linktree();
}



I can put text just below the Home Help Search Profile...... however I want to place the text where my nchat shout box is located just above the news/first forum. any ideas on how to get the text in there? I'm guessing index.template.php calls another file for that content? Thanks

I can't see that from here. Can you post a link to your site?

[rootuid]

I've attached an image. The highlighted area is where I want to put the text. Excuse the censoring in the image

Being able to see your site would have helped answer other questions I had too. Such as what theme you are using and if you are using a portal.
So the text you want is going to replace the chat box then?

I have no idea what I'm looking at from that images. So much editing. haha

@rootuid, you can PM ApplianceJunk a link to your website.

@rootuid, you can PM ApplianceJunk a link to your website.

That they did, the index.template.php file would be helpful too but I don't think you can PM me a attachment.
Maybe someone else can help.

Really? interesting...

rootuid, would you mind attaching your index.template.php file for your main theme?

[rootuid]

NP. Done.

most of the $txt strings wich apear on index.template.php are comming from /Themes/default/languages/index.{language}.php
just alter a new $txt['your-text-string'] = 'This is your text string';
where ever you wanna show  $txt['your-text-string']  in the template just add it like this

echo '<div id="">',  $txt['your-text-string'] , '</div>;
