Hi All,
I am trying to add a forum to my website so I decided to download the Snitz Forum. I got it working no problem and I am very happy with it.
My problem is that the pages do not look anything like my other my web pages that I've created thus far. I downloaded a lower version of Snitz with the "Sintz_css.css" and tried to modify my pages this way but I was unsuccessful. All I want to do is add a header, a left-hand column, and a background image.
I downloaded the Site Integration MOD and tried to modify the CSS so that my header and left column come out the way I want......but is doesn't work, probably cause I don't know what I'm doing.
Can someone give me some advice or maybe look at my code?? I am just a beginner and would like my forum pages to look like my other webpages.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
As a reference I downloaded the Site Integration MOD (to add a header,footer, and columns) as well as the Snitz_css MOD.

Hi D3mon,
Thanks for the redirect to Speedball. I downloaded it with ease. I have one question as a beginner. I opened the snitz.css and tried to add a background image but it doesn't work.
How do I make my forum pages the same as my other webpages??
I am sooo a beginner here.
In my other pages, I have a lefthand column and a header with buttons to other links and a background image. When I add my code to the inc_site_left.asp and open the default.asp, the css didn't take and its all text.
I feel like I wanna pull my hair out.
Any advice?
Thx,
Jim

This is probably a stupide question, but does it matter that my site is ASP.NET and these pages are ASP???
I'm just trying to get my buttons, images, and sound effects into the lefthand column and header.

YEEEHAAWWW!!! I finally got it working. I added my other css code (from the pages that I like) underneath the snitz.css and it worked.... well sorta.
Everything looks a bit small but its there. Now I just have to play around with it.
Although, I can't seem to make my background image come through. If anyone is out there listening, I'm all ears for any help.
This is what I'm trying to do for my background image in css:
body{
font-family: Arial,sans-serif;
color: #333333;
line-height: 1.166;
margin: 0px;
padding: 50px 0px 0px 10px;
background-image: url(Pictures/Gear_5_Large1.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Anyone?
Thx,
Jim |

Speedball uses classes for default font size, color, background, etc. So you need to open the inc_header.asp and find all instances of the body tag and remove the class from it, because a class element has stronger cascading-fu than a redefined element.
If anyone knows why Speedball will not display the CSS recolored browser scrollbar, I would be obliged. |

Adding in the page background lines to the body element of the exisiting snitz.css file should make it appear.
The same should apply top scrollbar styles, althiugh you may need to experiment with the position of these definitions within the CSS document - ie. before the existing lines or after them. |

.pb { background:black url(images/header.jpg) 50% 100% no-repeat } /* Page Background Color/Image */
Works for me. |
