that's the location to the current theme ur using in ur server

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Um... no, it's just showing you where the images are on your server.  You have to ftp the files to the proper directory in the theme you're using.

[Eudemon]

what rank images are u talking about exactly

[wii123]

what rank images are u talking about exactly

Rank banners= eg. A pocture with owner inside of it when you see a moderator on here they have mod banners it's by the avatar (might replace avatar idk as no mods have avatars for some reason

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Doesnt help me if I don't know what to do there...

You don't do anything there.  You have to upload your new images to the specified subdirectory, with the same file names as the images you're replacing.  Do you have ftp access to your server?

in ur cpanel, go to the theme's image folder ur currently using, see the earlier replies
upload the image, and then go to admin on ur site
edit membergroup, change the star image filename to the file name u just uploaded

[wii123]

To krash: What I want is to upload image so I can put it in as rank banner like illori has if u scroll up his says leader in free above his avatar

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Like this?

[wii123]

Eudemon, the problem is where in cpanel do you see themes images What category is it put undr? And you know what I'm talking about yes where stars are and pic I showed is correct

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The theme images are in http://www.yoursite.com/YourSMFDirectory/Themes/ThemeName/images.  You have to upload your image files to that folder.  That's the image url that's in Theme Settings.  I've never used cpanel, but from Eudemon's post there must be a way to upload the files to the /images folder.


Just took a quick look at the cPanel documentation, and, yes, there's an upload button.  You have to select a file to upload, and specify the target folder.

you can not browse to that folder for security, but you can still put the images there and use them as suggested above.

i dont get what do you mean put images there? do i jsut add a /name of image.png? or am i supposed to upload it somewhere?

[Illori]

yes as said before you are to use an ftp client to put your images in that folder

[wii123]

I downloaded file zilla (free ftp client) u connected to my site but i dont understand how to upload from there

[Eudemon]

after u connected to the site, on site window go to the image folder
and on the pc window, go to where ur file is located, select the file, right click and upload
i think u can drag and drop with zilla, i'm not 100% sure cuz i normally use other ftp client

FZ is easy to use, but can be hard to look at if you're unfamiliar with it.  The left pane is your local drive (on your computer).  Navigate to the folder that contains the images you want to upload, and select one or more image files.  The right pane is your host account on your srever.  Navigate to the images folder as specified in theme settings.  When you're in the right place on both sides, upload your files by double clicking on the file name, or selecting the file and hitting <Enter>, or by right clicking on the file name and clicking <upload> on the popup menu.

Change Number of star images to 1, and replace Star image filename with your new image file.
