Can anyone advise me on the best way to edit the layout. Every include file I open has only code in it. Example the include header file where you would think the layoug of the, Home, Profile, Register ect. is not there.
I am a visual person, can anyone help or advise me on the best way to go about editing the forum layout? |

The navigation (Home, Profile, etc.) is in inc_header.asp
This file is implemented in most other files so you can do layout changes there.

| Ok I have the Inc_header.asp open. Its all code. Are you saying all layout changes have to be made via hard code? |

No, not all, you can change the colours and font styles in the Admin Options.
But the others, yes. How should it be done otherwise? |

So to add say my own button to the The navigation (Home, Profile, etc.) instead of the hyperlinks I would have to figure out in the code where the images are called from through looking through the code on every page?
Isn't the graphical interface through products like Frontpage supposed to eliviate these types of troublesome tasks.
I see some of the other forums here on the site and they fit right into the scheme of the individual site design. All of these good people did this through hard coding the changes to the original code? I myself am not an idiot, but it seems like a daunting task. Especially given the fact that you may screw up the initial code during the process..
There must be a simpiler soulution. |

It's not as hard as it seems, and no, there's not a "simpler" solution. In fact, one of the great things about Snitz is that you can easily get under the hood and make these changes if you want to.
Make sure you backup your files before you start playing around with the files. If anything goes wrong, you can revert to the backup.
So, one of the first things you want to do is change or add links in the navigation menu? That's easy to do. Look in inc_header.asp for text that you want to put the new menu next to (for me, it's around line 497, but I've added some MODs). Copy the lines of code, paste them where you want them, then go in and change the URLs and text.
And post back if you have any problems.  |
