Firstly, I have to admit that I've only dabbled with tweaking ASP pages here and there. I am by no means a programmer, and nowhere near an ASP developer. I'm poking along and figuring this out, and there are some mysteries to customizing the snitz forum software that are eluding me.
Here is a list of things giving me trouble, maybe you can help:
1. I want to change the forum logo to a javascript file that will randomize the logo. I currently do this on the front page of my site at http://www.hazelip.com/ It would be the same rotation. I'm pretty sure I could do this in the inc_header.asp, but I can't seem to find where exactly to make the change.
2. I want to also contain both the logo and the login boxes at the top in the same cell. Currently, on my main page, this is accomplished with CSS. I would like a way to do this similar to the forum title header at http://www.skepticfriends.org/
3. I would like to use CSS as much as possible. I can strip out all the page-level CSS and use them to create a CSS document to import into each page on load, but I don't know where to put the import statement to ensure that the CSS is applied to all pages. This one isn't super important, but I would really like to get all the style declarations in one file and be done with it.
4. Is snitzmods.com official in any way? I see some mods there that would be good to have such as avatars, IP banning, a PM system, etc. But, I don't want to be grabbing wonky code, if at all possible to avoid.
That's all I can think of now, I'm going to go eat something and check back in a day or two.
Thank you very much for any and all help you can provide,
Jake |

I believe you can do this in inc_top.asp, unless the file name has changed since I last used snitz

You can modify this in the same file

also, inc_top.asp in the HTML header you would put the style link

The only mods that I know of that are official in any way are the ones posted on this site, however I dont think snitz backs up any of the mods, however if you need support installing or removing or modifying a mod, you can post in the Help: Mod Implementation Forum, or in the relavent topic in the Mod: addon w/code forum

Thanks! You've helped a lot!
I erred in my first post of this thread. I meant Snitz Bits, and not Snitz Mods.

| Snitz Bitz is an ok source for mods... there are several out there, best place to shop around though would probably be the Mod Addon Forum w/code |

The files are inc_header.asp and inc_footer.asp which wrap around all the forum content. Shows how long you've been gone Da_Stimulator  . hehe Anyways... www.snitzbitz.com has quite a few mods, like Da_Stimulator suggested. |

I've been looking in the header file, and I just can't seem to find where to make the changes. Also, since I want to change the gif to an external javascript, how do I code that to appear in the ASP code without completely borking it up? |

Cool! Thank you very much, um...Mr. Mule. 
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/TitleCards.js"></script>
Should I consider using the Site Integrator Mod? Does it simplify a lot of the customization work that I'm trying to do?
Thanks again,
Jake |

Well, you would think that, PeeWee, but it didn't. Now, I have the word 'Header' at the top of each page but my logo and the login text on the right are still not up top where I want them to be.
http://www.hazelip.com/Forum/ is where you can see what I'm dealing with.
Thanks for your help. |

Thanks, Mule. But, even if I change it to a full path to the JS file, it's a broken image link. Something's not right...
Oh, and that still leaves me with the floating word 'Header' at the top of each page. I want to move what's at the top of each forum page, as well as change it a little, up into that header space I got from the Site Integration MOD.

| I did use the Site Integration MOD. It didn't really do me any good. How do I remove the junk at the top of the forum below the 'Header' text? |
