[How To] Modify prosilver's header

[Mitch1063]

Since many people seem to keep asking how to modify several parts of prosilver's header... I decided to make this tutorial. If anyone has anything they want me to add, please let me know.
As always, make a back-up of your files before editing them. Don't forget to refresh your style after you have made all the changes by going to your Administration Control Panel => Styles => (Templates & Themes) => prosilver and click on refresh.

I would like to Thank You for a wonderfully Mod

THANKS

Whenever I place my logo it looks all pixilated and crappy. What's up with that!?!

Have you got a link to your board?

I think I did everything mentioned here, but my header isn't showing.

This is my forum: http://www.reptici.nl/phpBB3/index.php

What did I do wrong?

Thanks.

Did you refresh the Templates, Themes, and Imagesets?
You would do that under Styles/Template/Refresh, Same for the Themes and Imagsets.

Thank you, but yes, I did refresh everything...

You could try to Purge all cash, if you haven't already. That option is on the main page of the ACP.
If that doesn't help go back through all the steps again. You may have missed something.

It seems that you did not change the URL to your image in colours.css:

Code: Select all

.headerbar {
	background-color: #7AAA53;
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_header.gif");
	color: #FFFFFF;
}

I did change the image, but I didn't upload it!!!

Stupid!

So thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

p.s. I had to fill in the name + description of the site. But I don't want it to show in my banner.
I just want it to show in the blue internet explorer 'header' (don't know the english name, sorry).
How do I do this?

Thanks! I thought it would also remove the title in the blue internet explorer bar.

Thanks again!

I just have a quick question with my forum here: http://www.adminhelpline.com/forum/index.php

The header image is 900x100, 10pixels higher than the original image, and I made all the necessary code changesa, but the header ends right where the border is. ie there is no gap between the header image and the top of the border.

How can I fix this to add a gap?

Thanks

In common.css, find:

Code: Select all

.headerbar {
   background: #ebebeb none repeat-x 0 0;
   color: #FFFFFF;
   margin-bottom: 4px;
 

After, add:

Code: Select all

margin-top: 5px;

You are an absolute star! Thankyou very much, and especially for the very quick response

Thankyou

I followed all instructions to mod the header image, purged caches etc etc, and nothing. Board still appears the same. I only have prosilver installed.
