Background header does not display

Post by John Robi »

Using 3.2.5. It was installed by someone else years ago. The logo/background that displays at the top of the page won't display sometimes. Looking for but, cannot find in the ACP or read in the user guide where to add/modify the target location for phpBB to find the jpg or gif file that has the logo/background.

Some directional help will be appreciated.

Be careful because your version of phpBB will soon no longer be supported here, remember to update to phpBB 3.3.11

In the common.css file is this:

Code: Select all

/* Round cornered boxes and backgrounds
---------------------------------------- */
.headerbar {
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	padding: 5px;
	border-radius: 7px;
}

No doubt on your forum you have information concerning the header image

John Robi here again.

Please note the board in general is working well with no other outstanding issues besides the banner. The banner issue started just a few days ago.

I did find in ACP, Board Configuration, Header Banner. When I click on it I get:

General Error
Module not accessible

BACKTRACE

FILE: (not given by php)
LINE: (not given by php)
CALL: msg_handler()

FILE: [ROOT]/includes/functions_module.php
LINE: 565
CALL: trigger_error()

FILE: [ROOT]/adm/index.php
LINE: 82
CALL: p_master->load_active()

I looked into the root directory and found the functions_module.php is in the includes folder. And, the file index.php is located in the admin folder.

Note that none of those files and folders have been touched. I have no need to browse around in the root directory.

Guidance is definitely needed.

It seems that the Header Banner extension has been removed from the /ext/hifikabin/headerbanner folder, are you agree?

Header banner is an extension.
Which version are you using?
Also which PHP version are you using?

Thank you SSl, you are correct. In the file common.css .headerbar styling shows exactly as you have indicated. So... is there something more specific for me to look at?
Thank you.

Your image appears on small screen

On the other hand, from a width of 800px the image disappears

In the extension settings have you defined the image for wide screens as well?

In any case, even the version of the extension is not up to date, nothing is up to date on its board

And before activating secure cookies there should be at least one HTTPS redirection, this is not the case:http://www.transformationsbyrori.com/phpBB3/index.php

Hello SSi,

I am using a small screen laptop and it no longer displays. I accessed my 32" screen on my Area 51 computer and it does not display either.

You ask... extension settings have you defined the image for wide screens as well? I did not install the phpbb software nor configured it. Sorry, many questions: Where do I find "extension settings"? Further, are you indicating a larger image should be defined/used? And, where is phpbb looking (folder path) to in order to read the image file? Is it just a question of styling? Change the css information in common.css?

Last note, it does display on a smart cell phone.

Thank you for all your help it is very appreciated.
