need a personal mentor

Hello all,

At last i found a decent uk forum, hopefully someone here is prepared to help me and share there knowledge with me.

I have recently installed php-nuke version 7, all working fine but really want to alter the way it looks. i have added my own temp logo, but it look a bit funny due to the background dimemensions being wrong now.

I have read the how to do php-nuke book but i am the sort of person that needs showing (monkey see monkey do) so if there is anyone out there will to spend alittle time showing me the basic i would be very greatful!!!

Many Thanks

Mike

I am very good at HTML and getting a site design to look the way I want (nested tables, etc.) but unfortunately I don't know anything about php nuke's templating system :(

If you want to show me some of your HTML code for how you edited the template with your own logo ... I can fix it so that the rest of your table is an appropriate width.

Hi cscgal,

Thank you for your quick response, well as you can probably tell I am brand new to all this and have thrown myself into the deep end.

Well the I changed the logos on the site was to download the file then edit it in adobe Photoshop, so there was no html editing for me to do, but as you can see from my site the template look funny now.

How would I go about sending you the template for you to configure?

Best regards

Mike

Hi cscgal, i downloaded the php theme i am using and opened it with dreamweaver. <?php $bgcolor1 = "#ffffff"; $bgcolor2 = "#9cbee6"; $bgcolor3 = "#d3e2ea"; $bgcolor4 = "#0E3259"; $textcolor1 = "#000000"; $textcolor2 = "#000000"; function OpenTable() { global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; } function CloseTable() { echo "\n"; } function OpenTable2() { global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; } function CloseTable2() { echo "\n"; } function FormatStory($thetext, $notes, $aid, $informant) { global $anonymous; if ($notes != "") { $notes = "

"._NOTE." $notes\n"; } else { $notes = ""; } if ("$aid" == "$informant") { echo "$thetext$notes\n"; } else { if($informant != "") { $boxstuff = "$informant "; } else { $boxstuff = "$anonymous "; } $boxstuff .= ""._WRITES." \"$thetext\"$notes\n"; echo "$boxstuff\n"; } } /************************************************************/ /* Function themeheader() */ /************************************************************/ function themeheader() { global $banners; echo "" ."
"; if ($banners) { include("banners.php"); echo "
"; } echo "\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\"Welcomelogo-graphic.gif\"\n" ."\n" ."home.gif\"" ."account.gif\"" ."downloads.gif\"" ."submit.gif\"" ."topics.gif\"" ."top10.gif\"" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ; $public_msg = public_message(); echo "$public_msg
"; echo "\n" ."\n" ."\"\"\n" ."\n"; blocks(left); echo "\"\"\n"; } /************************************************************/ /* Function themefooter() */ /* */ /* Control the footer for your site. You don't need to */ /* close BODY and HTML tags at the end. In some part call */ /* the function for right blocks with: blocks(right); */ /* Also, $index variable need to be global and is used to */ /* determine if the page your're viewing is the Homepage or */ /* and internal one. */ /************************************************************/ function themefooter() { global $index; echo "
"; if ($index == 1) { echo "\"\"\n"; blocks(right); echo "\"\""; } else { echo "\"\""; } echo "

\n" ."
"; footmsg(); echo ""; } function themeindex ($aid, $informant, $time, $title, $counter, $topic, $thetext, $notes, $morelink, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) { global $anonymous, $tipath; echo "\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."dot.gif\" $title\n" ."
\n" ."\n" ."\"$topictext\""; FormatStory($thetext, $notes, $aid, $informant); echo "\n" ."
\n" ."\n" .""._POSTEDBY." "; formatAidHeader($aid); echo " "._ON." $time $timezone ($counter "._READS.")
\n" ."$morelink
\n" ."pixel.gif\"\n" ."\n" ."
\n"; } function themearticle ($aid, $informant, $datetime, $title, $thetext, $topic, $topicname, $topicimage, $topictext) { global $admin, $sid, $tipath; echo "\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."dot.gif\" $title\n" ."
\n" ."\n" ."\"$topictext\""; FormatStory($thetext, $notes="", $aid, $informant); echo "\n" ."
\n" ."\n" ."

\n"; } function themesidebox($title, $content) { echo "" ."" ."     $title" ."pixel.gif\"\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."\n" ."$content" ."
"; } ?> this doesnt mean nothing to me yet, but i want the background to be white and the the table making the same size as the logo, but i would love to be able to make one site logo at the top if possible. And i would like to know how you did it, so atleast i am learning and not just being lazy. thank you Mike
