UseBB Community

Hi,

Instead of a small logo and text, I would like to replace everything with a full width graphic (something like usebbzone). to get rid of the text in the right corner, I need to go to templates/default/global.tpl.php, find and remove the following:

<h1 id="boardname"><span id="line">{board_name}</span></h1>
	<h2 id="boarddescr">{board_descr}</h2>

But how do I insert the new logo, just replace usebb.png with my own? Also, how wide should the graphic be to cover the whole width of the forum?

Thanks,
Gene

Check out some of the themes I posted on UseBB-Zone, you should find some examples there.

Sounds like a plan but which files should I be looking at?

OK, thanks to Gaia's help, my full-width logo is there.

Another thing I'd like to do is to have the forums descriptions change colors when the pointer hovers over them, similar to useBBZone. Changed all the color values in all "hover" code lines in styles.css (one after the other then see if there were any changes on my board) but to no avail. Wish I could figure that one out.

Thanks again,

This is a matter of altering the CSS appropriately. All I can say is to first learn how CSS works.

And a GREAT place to start for answers to lots of questions is here.

Raygene can you please explain how you fix your problem?
I would like to do same thing in my forum...

Gaia thanks for link but I still can't fix my problem...
My forum is SMF and there is no file named global.tpl.php, can you give me some tips for SMF
I think that I have to make some changes in index.template.php

Only tip for SMF is this: Try going to the SMF support forum? This is support for UseBB.
