Topic: Really need some banner help guys :(

[peps1]

Wonder if anyone can help me with some layout issues

my banner at the moment is all one gif but i would like to split it into two the first one left justified and the second right justified, but also a link 


I would also like to know how to center the second banner that i have posted using the global headers and footers section



talk slow, I'm simple.

Attach your index.template.php, and split those images, upload them to your theme's image directory, and give me their names.

[peps1]

The banner files are bannerleft.gif and bannerright.gif and if bannerleft to link to home, and banner right link to http://www.cornellanddiehl.com/

Oh and your a absolute star!   

did that upload the file too?

[peps1]

Any chance of checking my meta tags are OK while your at it? I know its a outrageous liberty to ask, but i really am quite inept.

Need some smoke coming out of the dog's pipe.  Kinda sorta like Astrix's Thanksgiving turkey.  
Possibly a sound clip with a cough-bark.

I'll look at this tomorrow morning.

index.template.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

   echo '
   <div class="tborder" ', $context['browser']['needs_size_fix'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie6'] ? ' style="width: 100%;"' : '', '>
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
            <td class="catbg" height="32">';

   if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
      echo '
               <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';
   else
      echo '
               <img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" style="margin: 4px;" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" />';

   echo '
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>';
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

   echo '
   <div class="tborder" ', $context['browser']['needs_size_fix'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie6'] ? ' style="width: 100%;"' : '', '>
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
            <td class="catbg" height="32" align="left" width="60%">';

      echo '
               <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/bannerright.gif" style="margin: 4px;" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" />';

   echo '
            </td>
<td class="catbg" height="32" width="40%" align="right">
<img style="margin: 4px;" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/bannerleft.gif" alt="" />
</td>
         </tr>
      </table>';
That will make those logos for you.

And now, for the meta tags...

Find and alter:

Code: [Select]

<meta name="description" content="A friendly place to Chat about all things Pipe, Tobacciana and Smoking related. From Briar & Meerschaum Pipes, Cigars, Chewing Tobacco and snuff too Construction, Restoration & Maintenance.">

Thanks so much, ccbtimewizOne last little thing, How do i make bannerright.gif a link to the URL http://www.cornellanddiehl.com/[/] ?

Thanks for taking the time to sort that out for me! 

This is an example of 1 of mine.

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://www.chitchatchatterbox.com/index.php"><img src="http://www.chitchatchatterbox.com/Banners/chitchatbanner1.jpg"  alt="Chit-Chat ChatterBox" ></a>
You can edit yours to fit yours.

In the code I put you can see the first part in it is it directing it to my website.

Code: [Select]

href="http://www.chitchatchatterbox.com/index.php">The second part is grabing the banner from its location.

Code: [Select]

<img src="http://www.chitchatchatterbox.com/Banners/chitchatbanner1.jpg" The last is putting a name on it when say you put your mouse on the banner it displays "Chit-Chat ChatterBox"

Code: [Select]

alt="Chit-Chat ChatterBox" >
