Which and Where on Template

[DV1]

I already learned how to do this from a previous post:

viewtopic.php?t=2480156

What I'd like to know is where to do this (which template location) so the text is below the navbar and above the forum. It will be used for brief notices.

it should be overall_header.html or index_body.html

Mannix, thanks for responding.

As I did before, I used:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE add_text.html -->

Where would that be placed in the following section of index-body.html to position as mentioned? I'm thinking where the line of question marks is but not sure.

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

??????????

<p class="{S_CONTENT_FLOW_END} responsive-center time<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --> rightside<!-- ENDIF -->"><!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<!-- ELSE -->{CURRENT_TIME}<!-- ENDIF --></p>
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><p class="responsive-center time">{CURRENT_TIME}</p><!-- ENDIF -->

<!-- EVENT index_body_markforums_before -->
<!-- IF U_MARK_FORUMS -->
	<div class="action-bar compact">
		<a href="{U_MARK_FORUMS}" class="mark-read rightside" accesskey="m" data-ajax="mark_forums_read">{L_MARK_FORUMS_READ}</a>
	</div>
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- EVENT index_body_markforums_after -->

<!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html -->

<!-- EVENT index_body_forumlist_body_after -->

if you place it where ????? are it would place it above "it is currently..." in the image of your first post

Then here?

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

<p class="{S_CONTENT_FLOW_END} responsive-center time<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --> rightside<!-- ENDIF -->"><!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<!-- ELSE -->{CURRENT_TIME}<!-- ENDIF --></p>
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --><p class="responsive-center time">{CURRENT_TIME}</p><!-- ENDIF -->

<!-- EVENT index_body_markforums_before -->
<!-- IF U_MARK_FORUMS -->
	<div class="action-bar compact">
		<a href="{U_MARK_FORUMS}" class="mark-read rightside" accesskey="m" data-ajax="mark_forums_read">{L_MARK_FORUMS_READ}</a>
	</div>
<!-- ENDIF -->

??????????

<!-- EVENT index_body_markforums_after -->

<!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html -->

[Mannix_]

above forum/category listing but if you want to place it there place it above <!-- EVENT index_body_markforums_before --> so the mark forums read button/text will stay close to forum/category list as it is its integral part

Ok, I will test it out where you suggest.

Thanks

Hi, it is certainly no problem asking for help with this.
however, I am curious why you don't just test things first to see if they work or not.
I usually learn quicker by trying things to see what happens and then if I get in trouble I can
ask for help.
remember, as long as you have a backup copy of a file before you make changes, you are never more
than a couple of clicks away from a complete recovery.

luck,
robert

Exactly and in many cases the browsers Inspector allows editing the "cached" templates and css so that one can experiment with layout and formatting, even without having to edit the source files.

Some people just don't process things for whatever reasons in the manner that others would expect them to. That's just the way it rolls in real life.

Is there a problem with that?

Have you tried the Board Announcement extension, as this will do what you want: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... uncements/
