TCH-Andy Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Hi, Welcome to the family How much do you want to change the header? Just the basic icon and links? Or to customise it like the one here? Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 well see like where it says total choice here or invision on mine right. i want to replace that with a banner i have made for the site Quote

ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 Glad to be here guys. thanks for everything ya have done for me and my friends and our board. Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 ok what i want to do is get rid of the blue header completly and replace it with a image i have made , any info Quote
TCH-Andy Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Look in /Skin/s1/skin_global.php You should be able to find; ><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' background='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/header_tile.gif'> <tr> <td align='left'><a href='{$ibforums->base_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo.jpg' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' .... <td align='right' valign='middle' background='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/header_tile.gif'><!--IBF.BANNER--></td> </tr> </table> You can then replace the code here for your own logo and background. Can you provide a link to the site and the logo you have uploaded? Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 ok our site is www.verticaloutlawz.com ... where the blue bar is up top i want this Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Hi and welcome to the forums I second what the others say. It should do the trick. Just remember to 1) Name your logo exactly what it says in Andys script part. 2) Upload the logo to the correct directory. Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 im not the best with this stuff guys. i may need a lil more help , sorry . i need more play by play Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Welcome to the family and forums Illogical! Quote
stevevan Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Welcome illogical! You can edit the file Andy was talking about using the File Manager found in your cpanel. Then follow the rest of the information above. Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 thanks man you guys are great . i will reccommend you guys to evryone. ill try to get it figured out if not ill be back to bother you some more !!!! Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 ok is the skin thing in the cppanel or is it under the skin in admincp? and can it be a jpeg image for a header? or does it need to be somethin special. i know serious newb questions. sorry Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 In your cPanel click on File manager, it will open a new window. Click on the folders for public_html, then invisionboard, then style_images and finaly the folder for 1. In there you will find a file called logo4.gif and one called logo4.old. Rename logo4.gif to logo4.bak and then rename logo4.old to logo4.gif. Once you have that done, have a look at your board and tell me if it made a difference. Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 thanks man ... its there now but its real small and i wanted it to be the size i made it? can i do this ? any help with that? and its linked to invision board i dont really want it linked jus a header picture Quote
TCH-Andy Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 In the file /Skin/s1/skin_global.php fine the section; ><div id='logostrip'> <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a> </div> change the code to ><div> <a href='{$ibforums->base_url}' title='Home'><img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='verticaloutlawz' border="0" /></a> </div> and change the /invisionboard/style_images/1/logo4.gif to your big gif (not the small one) Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 ok when i did what Andy said it got rid of the blue bar but then we had problems on the site. any info on this? Quote
TCH-Andy Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 What sort of problems? When I look at it, I still see it as it was. Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 maybe it has to do with something else but ,, when i did what ya said i got rid of the blue bar up top right, but like when i click the round icon to clear the post in that forum i get? http://verticaloutlawz.com/invisionboard/i...in&CODE=04&f=11 but i copy and pasted and changed back what you had wrote up there. didnt help it seems. may be anothe problem. any info? thanks guys you are real helpful , i appreciate it any help?

ILLOGICAL Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 exaclty , when i try to clear a forum post by clickin on the lil icon next to the forum thats what i get? the blank page , if i try to make a post i get the white page when i hit add post? Quote
ENASNI TILLER Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 When we reply to a post and hit enter we get a blank white page and thats it. This just started a couple hours ago. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 First of all, are you guys twins or something, both asking same thing? As for your problem. Is your forum very active? It sounds to me that something got corrupted and that you should delete this forum and restart. Also, I will contact you by pm about something regarding this if its ok? Quote
ILLOGICAL Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 yes pleaseeee , pm me now if ya like we are the main admins of the board lolollolol ,, i see we got jokes in here huh . Quote
Rogue Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) Hiya, just havin a bit of problems transferring over my forums after the sever changed from .co.uk to .net I know I need to find either a database item or file that contains the "$ibforums->base_url" ... but where to find it is the difficult bit. I've been trying for ages and al slowly and painfully losing my mind. Apart from this the site is all good, just the code links to the .co.uk rather than the new .net If u want the site, check out realms.gamingsource.net Edited February 23, 2005 by Rogue Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Hiya, just havin a bit of problems transferring over my forums after the sever changed from .co.uk to .net Hi Rouge, what server change are you refering to? Our server in the UK is brand new? Quote
Rogue Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Ah no, ... um, is this forum just for queries from your hostees? If so... sorry, im not one of them. I just did a google search on base_url and got this. Yea, im hosted on a mates server, and he just changed from .co.uk to .net as far as I can see... dont know why, but either way my invision board just doesnt seem to agree with the changes. Its all still there, but the code links to .co.uk rather than .net, and as you can imagine, thats causing problems. I simply need to find the location in my file system, or in the sql tables, where the base_url is stored. Any help would be great, cheers Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 See my comments on the bottom of this page on To access your forum by IP address, including admin before domain propagation This will show how to modify your config file. Yes the forum is for customers to help each other, but we are a friendly bunch and we try to help where we can. Quote
Rogue Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Cheers, I had checked that file, but it seems (probably because it was in use), it didnt save my changes. But now its sorted, now i just have to go through the sql changing all the instances of www.realms...co.uk to realms...net. Fun Cheers though, for pointing me in the right direction. Quote
