how do I add a banner to INSIDE top table

Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2005 9:56 pm

Code:

function themeheader() {
global $user, $banners, $sitename, $slogan, $cookie, $prefix, $db;
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
if ($username == "") {
$username = "Anonymous";
}
echo "<body bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\" link=\"#363636\" vlink=\"#363636\" alink=\"#d5ae83\" leftMargin=\"0\" topMargin=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\">\n"
."<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"750\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n"
."<tr>\n"
."<td bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"200\">\n"
."<a href=\"index.php\"><img src=\"themes/Junkmail/images/logo.gif\" align=\"left\" alt=\""._WELCOMETO." $sitename\" border=\"0\"></a></td>\n"
."<td bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n"
ADD BANNER HERE
."</td></tr>\n"
."</table><br>\n"

i've tried adding variations of this code to try make the banner inside the tabler along side the logo

Code:

if ($banners) {
include("banners.php");
}

any help appreciated

nah it doesn't

i can show banners no problem outside top table
but when i add

Code:

if ($banners) {
include("banners.php");
}

inside table like above in first post it doesn't work

i got it to work before inside table when code was

Code:

echo "<center><table border=1 width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td>\n\n";
echo "<a href=\"index.php\"><img src=themes/ExtraLite/images/logo.gif Alt=\""._WELCOMETO." $sitename\" border=0></a>\n";
echo "</td>\n";
if ($banners) {
echo "<td>";
include("banners.php");
echo "</td>";
}
echo "<td align=right>\n";

I can work out banners inside tables wrapped in

Code:

echo "

i just can't work out how to make banners work inside tables wrapped inside php

Code:

Namsul, wrap the code:

Code:

if ($banners) {
echo "<td>";
include("banners.php");
echo "</td>";
}

to

Code:

if ($banners) {
echo "<td>";
echo "<table width='100%' border='0'><tr><td width='100%'>";
include("banners.php");
echo "</td></tr></table>";
echo "</td>";
}

nope Xyberian
that doesn't work either

not sure but problem seems to be the theme.php has code wrapped in

Code:

."

and to make things even more painful i try to post the theme.php here and forums say code isn't allowed

pain in the a$$

i zipped the theme http://www.junkmail.com.au/software/theme.zip

if someone gets a chance to have a look it'de be appreciated

i tried finding a theme with the banner where i wanted it, the date in header and the "welcome user" in the header and this seems the only one out there

If nothing else works, then try using output buffering

output buffering? Shocked

i don't know what that means sorry Embarassed

I assumed you have a lot of experience in handling themes.

Ok.
my method and suggestion are correct, but I showed just a fraction of codes:

Follow my MODification format (let me assume you're using ExtraLite theme-pack)

Code:

#
# ---- [ OPEN ] ----
#
themes/ExtraLite/theme.php

#
# ----- [ FIND ] -----
#
function themeheader() {
echo "body .......
."<br>";
if ($banners) {
include("banners.php");
}
echo "<br>"

#
# ------ [ INLINE, FIND ] ------
#
function themeheader() {

#
# ------ [ AFTER, ADD ] -------
#
global $banners;

#
# ------ [ INLINE, FIND & REMOVE] ------
#
if ($banners) {
include("banners.php");
}

#
# ------ [ FIND ] ---------
#
blocks("left");
echo "<img src=\"images/pix.gif\" border=\"0\" width=\"150\" height=\"1\"></td><td>  </td><td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\">";
}

#
# ------- [ INLINE, FINE ] ---------
#
}

#
# ------- [ BEFORE, ADD ] -------
#
if ($banners) {
include("banners.php");
}

#
# ------ [ SAVE ] -----------
#

The above code works with phpnuke 7.0 to 7.6. Add your banner and your banner picture will appear on the top-center and under your logo block.

out buffering is another detouring method. That's a good alternative.
