Adding background to forum, but do I need a new table?

Anthanus · syyskuu 13, 2006, 04:12:58 IP

Our forum's version is 1.1 RC3 and I'm making my own theme based on SMF default.

Forum here: hxxp:www.kareinen.com/rpg/smf/index.php [nonactive]

Our forum now:
hxxp:img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nytyq5.jpg [nonactive]

I added background:
hxxp:img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=taustalisttylb9.jpg [nonactive]

This is how I want it to be (I Photoshopped this image):

I made that width adjusted using <div> commands, should I use table instead of div or how I could make our forum to look exactly I want?

Yes, you need to add a table to your index.template.php to achieve what you're looking for.

Open up your index.template.php:
Find

Koodi [Valitse]


<body>';

Replace with:

Koodi [Valitse]


<body background="nameofbackgroundimage.gif"><center><table width="80%"><tr><td class="windowbg">

You can alter the width % to whatever you'd like for your own needs.

Then:
Find

Koodi [Valitse]


</body></html>';

Replace with:

Koodi [Valitse]


</td></tr></table></center></body></html>';

That should solve your problem.
Enjoy your SMF boards.

Just one probleml:

Can I add some space to the new table's borders, like this:

Looks like you've already figured that part on your own, glad it worked out for you. Enjoy.
