Can someone help?

[jme574]

I had someone install a new theme for my phpbb forums, they added 2 new nav. links at the top but was unable to make them look like the other nav. link buttons. Is there anyone that can help me fix them? You can see the board here.

If you can help, please pm me or send me an email at [email protected]


Thank You,

Thanks, I got your email! I think I put the code in overall_header for the template i need right?

If so here is the section of code for the nav. section:

<tr>
<td align="right" background="templates/beats101/images/nav_bg_top.gif" height="23" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu"> <a href="{U_FAQ}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_faq.gif" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" /></a></span><span class="mainmenu"> <a href="{U_SEARCH}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_search.gif" border="0" alt="{L_SEARCH}" /></a> <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_memberlist.gif" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" /></a> <a href="index.php?"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_message.gif" border="0" alt="Forums" hspace="3" />Forums</a>  <a href="{U_PORTAL}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_message.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_HOME}" hspace="3" />{L_HOME}</a> 

I have uploaded the buttons to: public_html / djboard / templates / beats101 / images /

the buttons are labeled - nav_forums.gif and nav_home.gif
As you can see, there are already references to "home" and "forums" in the code. Can you or anyone else tell me how i should code this?

try this:

<tr>
<td align="right" background="templates/beats101/images/nav_bg_top.gif" height="23" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu"><a href="{U_FAQ}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_faq.gif" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" /></a> </span><span class="mainmenu"><a href="{U_SEARCH}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_search.gif" border="0" alt="{L_SEARCH}" /></a> <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_memberlist.gif" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" /></a> <a href="index.php?"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_forums.gif" border="0" alt="Forums" /></a> <a href="{U_PORTAL}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_home.gif" border="0" alt="{L_HOME}" /></a>

That worked great! I edited the logo on the top but for some reason the logo is now a link. The problem is when you click on it - it takes you to a 404 error page. Here is the link to the site - The Board Room I think i found the part of the code for the link

<tr>
<td align="left" background="templates/beats101/images/header_bg.jpg"><a href="/portal.php"><img src="templates/beats101/images/logo.jpg" alt="{L_INDEX}" border="0" /></a></td>
</tr>

I guess it is set to go to portal.php. Can that be changed to go to fullefx.net/djboard

If so, what would be the proper coding to do that?

Thanks again for the help, it probably wouldn't have gotten done if you wasn't helping me!

<tr>
<td align="left" background="templates/beats101/images/header_bg.jpg"><a href="http://www.fullefx.net/djboard/"><img src="templates/beats101/images/logo.jpg" alt="{L_INDEX}" border="0" /></a></td>
</tr>

Alternatively, if you don’t want the banner to be a link, this should work.

<tr>
<td align="left" background="templates/beats101/images/header_bg.jpg"><img src="templates/beats101/images/logo.jpg" alt="{L_INDEX}" border="0" /></td>
</tr>

Hope that helps

the link is pointing to /portal.php. The preceeding "/" is telling it to look in the folder that the folder "djboard" is in. Just remove the preceeding "/" and it should work!

Once again, the members of this site save the day! I guess that is why i have been coming here more often then those other places. Thank you both for the help.


Since <a href="http://www.fullefx.net/djboard/ and a href="portal.php both lead to the same place i thought it was easier to just remove the / before the portal.php. I am sure both ways would have worked. Although I am considering removing the link all together as Cooper has suggested.

Thank Again

I wouldn't. Most users click on the logo to go back to the homepage, rather than a "home" link.

I knew keeping random statistics of EVERYTHING would come in useful one day!

Is there a way that I can spread the nav. links out alittle so they are not so bunched together? Look how they are now.

<tr>
<td align="right" background="templates/beats101/images/nav_bg_top.gif" height="23" valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu"><a href="{U_FAQ}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_faq.gif" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" /></a> </span><span class="mainmenu"><a href="{U_SEARCH}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_search.gif" border="0" alt="{L_SEARCH}" /></a> <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_memberlist.gif" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" /></a> <a href="index.php?"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_forums.gif" border="0" alt="Forums" /></a> <a href="{U_PORTAL}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/beats101/images/nav_home.gif" border="0" alt="{L_HOME}" /></a> 

Could this problem be resolved by adding <br> between each of them or would that only put them in a single file line going downward?


EDIT **** I think that might be the wrong code because i don't see anything for the "profile" "messages" or "logout"

I got it - just for the heck of it i added 2 spaces before every example of
<a href=" and it worked looks better now.

 

[dongan]

just add a space between.   will definitely work. increase the space as much as you want.

 

[PoorDoggie]

looks fine to me now!
