How can i add a banner or html to my forum. 2.0 RC1 / next to avatar/time log...

[Tanks]

Hello

I've just upgraded my board to the latest version (2.0 RC1) and i lost all my mods.. that's okay, i know it takes time for mods to get updated when new versions of SMF hits the streets.

I was unable to find a compatible theme so i am keeping the default one this time. Making my own style based on the default. That's a good way to go about it i think.

Anyway i ran into some problems that somebody might be able to help me with. I want to place a banner or some HTML at the top of the forum. Right next to where it shows the avatar and the time logged in. There is a large white space that i would like to fill out.

I will attach a image to show what white space i am talking about.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Tanks!

Have a look at ./themes/default/index.template.php

Thanks Nas, but i've been looking a lot at that file.. problem is that DIV is used there and i'm only familiar with tables. Would i need to turn the DIV into tables so i could ad a column for my html ?

Could you please attach your file and show us the code yo uwant to add?

I don't have the code - i am going to create a flash (using kickapps.com) and when that is finished it will generate a HTML code for me to embed it.

But can you show me anyway how to insert HTML to that white space ?

my file is attached

Edit: Ohh, and i need it to be aligned to the left. sorry :p

Sorry for the delay.
Try this:

Find:

Code Select Expand

<div id="user_section" class="bordercolor"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<div id="user_section" class="bordercolor"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
<div class="loatright">YOUR HTML</div>

[Tanks]

Ok i will try this as soon as i have been creative with the flash i am inserting

Thanks many time

This worked fine.. only thing was that loatright should be floatright

Edit: Could you tell me how to vertical align to middle ? Right now it's aligned to the top.

Thanks again !
