Site Layout

bargaintrophies · July 31st, 2006, 09:53 PM

I'm looking to layout my site similar to this one: http://haastylcalls.com/photo/

Is this layout possible with the standard configuration options (to include custom header and footer), or is it a totally custom layout?

Whatever the answer is to the above question, details/tips on how to achieve this layout would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

Thats just a standard photopost layout with a simple html header and footer.

You can create whatever html you wish for those header and footers and link to those files to load then in Admin => Global options and load the server path to them in there. In Admin => Sidebar Settings you can set the bar to left or right or off they are using right.

I understand the header and footer part. However, I can't find the configuration options to select the color schemes that I am interested in. I've currently got null headers/footers and have selected the "bronze" theme layout option (I.e. The layout menu item "Select a theme for your website". Here's what my Index page looks like with the "bronze" theme: http://www.trophypix.com/gallery/.

The admin part of the site IS bronze in color (a couple different shades), but the real content is not. It's a funky silver color and you can't read the text. Any ideas? What are the basic configuration options that define the major element colors?

One final oddity. The Custom PAL # 1 that I defined and is working fine with the VB3 integration option, reverts back to the "defaut" content when I disable the VB3 integration. Is this normal behaviour? Are there other configuration entities that behave this way?

NOTE: The site was originally installed by Photopost personnel with VB3 integration selected. I have the integration options turned OFF, however.

Thanks,
Michael

You need to turn off the use forum style in forum settings in admin

Perfect! Thought I had taken care of everything when I turned Off the 2 options in the Integration area.

Thanks Chuck!

In vbulletin create a new footer template and alter header-inc.php and add the line in bold

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

chuck first off you are the hardest working man here, thanks!
This sounds like it would replace the footer on all pages, I would like to replace the footer just for the photopost pages. Sorry I was not specific.

This would only replace the footer on the photopost pages. You create a new footer template in vb for photopost and in the photopost file I noted point to that new footer
