phpBB Board Q's

[Regs]

1. How do I exhange that logo_Phpbb.gif pic that sits on the upper left corner for one of my own?

2. Can I seee examples of another phpBB? It has been a long time since I color coded a BB.

make your own gif logo and name it the same as the phpbb one that worked for me ...

2 goto phpbb forums and there is a section on others showing off their sites

I figured that much, or I could just go in and edit the php by hand. Just surprised they hand nothing in the CP to change it.


Are there any neat little scripts like ones for vb for phpbb?

What you'll likely be changing is CSS; PHP is program logic, not layout or colors or anything.

Well, the logo thats being displayed would be inside one of the php files eh?

And NM to my second question, checking out phpBB.com solved both problems

In answer to your question the logo is a gif image, actually.

If you want to have your own logo then you can do it a number of ways.

You could be creatively original, make a gif logo, call it the same name, and replace the old one in the images folder.

You could be even more interesting and edit the overall_header.tpl file, and change the location of the logo / logo name.

You could get eeeeeeeeeven more interesting, and edit the php to call for a different header file for every page, and create a totally different header file.

Did I mention you could write your own theme as well?

or you could edit the PHP and add an option i the control section to select a file and upload it into the correct place.

last time i used phpBB you can change it in the control panel, if not create your own file named logo_Phpbb.gif and place it instead of logo_Phpbb.gif

I never thought of that one

I opened up the overall_header.tpl file and changed the entire top of the board. Much better now.

If you're feeling creative, why not open all relavent overall_xxx.tpl files and create your own theme

It took me 3 hours just to design this page of ocurse the first page of the site is always the hardest, just don't feel like spending time on a BB. This is what I have so far for the BB.

Takes me around 3 days of hard work to complete a whole theme. They are not extremely simple to create as most people seem to think!

Looks good what youve done so far tho
