I need some help with how or where to alter code
to accomodate a certain style for the upper part
of a forum.
Note: I do have the Site Integration Mod by D3mon
installed which I can use probably for that whole upper
area, but if used, I dont know what all to comment out
to remove the current site logo and all the other stuff
and what file I need to be editing?
forgive me if this causes horizontal scroll, I copied
the images at 1024 width.... 
how the forum is now:
and basically how I am wanting to rearrange it:
I would generally like to keep the login/logout to the
right side of the forum (not sure how that would be affected
with user/pass input boxes?)
My guess alterations need to be done in inc_header.asp
but I dont know how to alter it without destroying it 
thanks for any help anyone can provide with this

Enigma, I have fairly well mutilated mine. I am not fluent enough in asp to give you a step by step how-to but... here is a link to my inc_header. You can use it to compare to yours.
http://www.spinbusters.com/ftp/inc_header.txt
Basically, the logo and sign on are both in a table near the top of the file close together. You can spot them easily because in a new file the table has two <td>'s close together with widths of 50% each. You can modify that table as you see fit. I copied the login portion into it's own .asp file and made it an include and the did away with the whole table.
The links you will find in the header under sub sForumNavigation()
just rearrange the table cells and row to the way you want. To add an icon just create image link similar to the way you would in html. |

lol, i have tried really desperatly to compare yours to mine, but it looks as though mine has alot more code. i know im not the one who asked, but i really want mine like he wants his. here is what my file looks like. it looks like everytime i try to modify it without instructions.... my forum comes up with no header at all.  If anyone could point out a few places that need modified i would really really apprecitae it.

I changed my header links to buttons, and it was very very easy, even for a non-programmer like me, who does not even know that you use two of these " withing the response.write statement. I only just found that out today.
But believe me, it's so easy to edit it. I added icons in front of them before, so I cant really guide you to do it. (I might get a base snitz header and have a look at what its done like, and might be able to give you a guideline.)

All you need to do is to find:
Active Topics
Replace it with
<img border=""0"" src=""./forum_buttons/button_active_topics.gif"">
And do the same for every link, just find the title, and replace it with the image code.

| yes, but i still don't understand how you get the links to go in a straight row and vertically aligned to the bottom of the header. |

yes, that works fine for replacing the text links with
images, but what about relocating that table to center
just above forum (and under site header logo) and also
relocating the login/logout button & admin link to top
right side of forum and then removing the text "you are
logged on as.....
thats my main question
Just viewed your forum Faizan, can you possibly provide me
your inc_header so I can compare or is that the SHN forum?

It was a SHN header, but I customised it so much to make it my own. I can give you a link to the text version of it if you still want it.

sure, that may help me out if I can compare a little.
I did find where to comment out the "you are logged on as..."
part.
I have pretty much built my header portion using D3mons
site integration mod, now I just really need to find
what all in inc_header to delete/comment out so it doesnt
show any longer, then make everything link to what its
supposed to. I also need to add the login/logout to the
site integration mod header.
I think my main question now is what all/how to remove
everything that I no longer need from inc_header so that
its basically the forum there and nothing above it |

Well, I am not a programmer or anything, infact I don't even know any ASP.
If you would allow me to email you the link to my header, I would like to email it to you, your email has been disabled in your profile. [Sorry but I don't want to post it in here] I will email it to you as soon as you enable it.

Enigma, Look at my spinbusters site, it that what you are trying to do? I also have made the inc_header not display anything. I now have the forum navigation shou up in the inc_site_left.asp along with the login stuff. You could do the same and put it in your inc_site_header.asp if that is what you want to do... |
