phpbb template mod

vichousefc · 06-25-2006, 03:09 AM

Hi,

I have a forum

http://www.stevengerrard.net - I have had one of the members of this site make a logo for me which is on the forum at the top.

the logo size is 979 (W) X 100 (H)

The forum currently is at 100% size of browser but I want the forum to be the same width of the logo?

What file do I need to mod? and what line?

Newbie to forums.

Thanks

overall_header.tpl is the file you need to edit.

find the following line:-

PHP Code:

  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" height="100%">

and change the width value to what you want that should sort it out for you.

I would advise against making the width 979.

Anyone using an 800x600 screen size will not be able to see the side of your page and will have a horizontal scroll bar.

The logo is already at a width of 979 so making the template the same width doesn't matter.

yes it does, change the size of the page and you will see that the logo gets hidden.

Currently the logo is resizing down to the 800 size when your screen is that size, because it's a background image and not just an image on the page.

Making the whole page 979 will leave about 200px of page hidden when viewing with an 800x600 screen size.

I don;t know how your header looks, but if possible I would split the header in a place that is commun across the banner and use it as a background so that it can resize on different monitor, http://www.vsig.info, my site does that with the header, have a look at the source.
