How do you edit the look of the Site?

Guest

I know you can log into the admin area and change the right side of the page to look and say what you want, but how do you edit the background, and others things i've seen some users do? ie.. ad banners outside of the area that is edidable in the admin area???

I've looked for html files but the only one's i see are ie the templates folder, readme.html and test2.html. everything else is php.. i've tried to open the php files in FP2000," i have the php module installed" but i ten get a box that opens asking if i want, html, text or rtf??

Thanks in advance.. any help appreciated..

Hi Paula,

As a default the script comes with five different graphics for the header
these are applied at random. You may edit these with a graphic editor and save them under the same names and all will work fine. Or you can edit the header.php and the header_locked.php to your image file. This is a little more difficult you will find four lines that look like:
$pic[0]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/header_1.jpg";
$pic[1]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/header_5.jpg";
$pic[2]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/header_6.jpg";
$pic[3]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/header_7.jpg";
You need to change the file name to your file name. NOTE: your file needs to be 690 pixels wide to keep continuity of your site.
If you don't want the header to change just change the first line
$pic[0]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/header_1.jpg";
To
$pic[0]="$CONFIG->siteurl/images/YOur_File_Name";
Then change the following line:
echo"<img src=$pic[$nr] border=0>";?>
TO
echo"<img src=$pic[0] border=0>";?> This will show only the one file in the header

It sounds like you are running an older version of the randomizer. Since 2.1(I think it was 2.1 you have been able rotate banners and text ads on the site. There is an area in the config.php where you do this right below where you configure the site it looks like this.

// show the text ads in header or footer
// For no text or banner ads set all to false
$CONFIG->header_textads=true;
$CONFIG->header_banners=false;
$CONFIG->footer_textads=false;
$CONFIG->footer_banners=true;

If you don't have these lines in your config.php file you need to update your version of the randomizer.
