Tweaks and Help - much Appreciated

[GamersQuest]

SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC3
Hi All

Not sure if you can help - I have a couple of tweaks I would like to do - and cannot figure out how 

1. I would like to remove the top bar with avatar and info in - as I have it replicated on the side panel

2. I have 2 SMF logos (??) they don't do anything - that are located half way down my page and I would like to remove them



Does anyone have any ideas?

As always much appreciated

Hi,

1. I would like to remove the top bar with avatar and info in - as I have it replicated on the side panel

Look in Themes/default/index.template.php. Most likely, what you want to remove will be in there. Do a search for 'avatar'

2. I have 2 SMF logos (??) they don't do anything - that are located half way down my page and I would like to remove them

If you look carefully, they say 'New Posts' and 'No New Posts' next to them, on the right (select the text there). I believe they could also be in index.template.php, but I'm not sure.

Fantastic - thanks for the reply - just to clarify I want to remove all the middle white bar and information - including Avatar at the top of my forum - will that be just a case of deleting from within the index template

Thanks again

This will remove the whole table though. So if you want it different you'll have to specify what you want it to look like.

As to your SMF icons, those are the icons that tell you what a "New Post" and "No New Posts" icons look like. There should be text next to theme specifying what they are. But if you want to remove them open up BoardIndex.template.php and remove these lines.

Blimey - you made that seem so easy - thank you very much - worked perfectly

One other quick question - is it possible to remove the 4 rectangle boxes at the bottom of the forum referring to PHP etc - the reason I ask is that two of them - right hand side have failed to load correctly - I have tried deleting and replacing with a new gif but its made no difference

Thanks again - really appreciated - looks great now - well I think so - lol

And another quicky - sorry - my text eg: forum>admin>messages.post reply - that you see at the top of your boards when navigating is black so cannot be seen against the forum background - where do I locate the template and code to change the colour - not sure on their technical term!!

These are the lines that output the 4 images at the bottom. Not sure which ones you want to remove but here they are so I'll let you decide.

<a href="http://www.mysql.com/" target="_blank"><img id="powered-mysql" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/powered-mysql.gif" alt="', $txt['powered_by_mysql'], '" width="54" height="20" style="margin: 5px 16px;" onmouseover="smfFooterHighlight(this, true);" onmouseout="smfFooterHighlight(this, false);" /></a>

As for the linktree color you are having trouble with, in the style.css file play with the nav classes. Here they are

Code Select Expand

/* Navigation links - for the link tree. */
.nav, .nav:link, .nav:visited
{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav:hover
{
color: #cc3333;
text-decoration: underline;
}
