top of forum graphic
« on: October 05, 2008, 01:53:58 AM »
Using 2.0b4 SMF.  Wondering if there is a css for the area at the top of the forum (default theme) for graphics that are located there?   We have a logo we put on our site.  In Admin/Config/theme settings..  But, I need to set it to be a % in width so that it is flexible..  Right now, if someone narrows their window too much, it messes up the graphics on the side of the page, and forces a scroll bar long before we want one to show up...   

Thanks for any help.. I can't seem to find where this would be.   But guessing it should be in a css somewhere..

try using firefox with firebug installed....   it's almost a required tool for webmasters looking for CSS issues.

The exact CSS tag would be listed in index.template.php and probably defined in style.css

Thanks Kindred, I will look there.  I can't find it in style.css at all, that is where I have been looking..  But I will get that for my firefox and will check the index.template.php file for the info....

It was in fact in the index.template.php file..  calls the image there as header_logo_url.  I just added width="100%" and that fixed the problem. Now when the window is resized, it doesn't screw it up!!! 

Thank you!!!!   I'm still learning where things are all hidden..  You guys always come through!!!

Where and how did you implement this in the index.template?

In line 182, which is a few lines under where the <body> starts is the line for the logo image.  Here is my line:


Code: [Select]
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'] , '" width="100%" height="125" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" />';

I just added the nomal width and height code after the image code.  Just have to make sure it is OUTSIDE the quotes of the image code.

If it helps, it's 4 code lines above the line:   // Display user name and time.

Hope that is the info you wanted...
