 not sure if this is the right spot

I'm trying to customize an SMF theme.  But I need some help with a couple things.  Like I need a sidebar and I'd like to replace the images used by the themer with ones of my own.  I'd like to have a rules section above the actual board, not the logo, in the individual forums. 

I also want to know if it's possible to remove the avatar and profile block from the home page.  And I really like the child boards, I didn't have that before, but can they be named something other than child board?

I'd appreciate the help.  Thanks.

I happen to have a free mod that changes child board name to whatever you want.

as for theme image mod, you best bet is modify the theme template,
for replacing logo with rule, set a if else statement to return different link based on the current board id -> https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Global_variables

Can you direct me to the mod please?

The mod was removed from the mod site. It's a basic one line code edit though.

In your /Themes/default/languages/index.english.php

Find-

$txt['parent_boards'] = 'Child Boards';

Change child boards to sub boards or whatever you want them to be called.

I was thinking of a different mod ;)

I tried this mod and it worked beautifully on the Default theme, but not on either of the themes I was attempting to use. It also didn't work on any other childnoard except the first level.

Mods can only be guaranteed to install successfully on the default theme. Custom themes can not guaranteed to install, and may require some manual file modification.
