Help with vBulletin and Codes

@Smallvillex, vBulletin will not accept a .pub file, and Publisher HTML is usually too bloated to drop in as-is. You have two practical options: replace the logo/banner via StyleVars, or add your own HTML into the header template. @MidiMagic, they do not need a vbulletin.com account for this; they just need AdminCP access on their forum.

Fast path (replace the banner image):

• Export the header from Publisher as a single JPG/PNG (keep it to reasonable width/size).
• Upload it to your forum’s images directory.
• AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> pick your style -> StyleVars -> set the title/logo image to your new file.
• If it looks squashed or offset, adjust the CSS in your style (e.g., width/height of the logo area).

Full custom header (custom HTML/CSS):

• AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> open the header template for your style.
• Insert your markup just below the opening body and above $navbar. Do not remove $headinclude or $navbar.

Example insertion:

<!-- Custom header start -->
<div id="publisher-header">
  <a href="index.php"><img src="/images/header.jpg" alt="Site name"></a>
</div>
<!-- Custom header end -->
$navbar

Tips:

• Back up the header template first; you can use Revert if something breaks.
• Publisher often outputs absolute-positioned elements and Word-specific markup. Prefer a single exported image or hand-cleaned HTML/CSS.
• Use absolute or root-relative image paths (e.g., /images/header.jpg) so links do not break.
• Test in multiple browsers and keep the file size small so page loads remain fast.
