Template Help Required

[GBLuke]

Hi,

I am trying to develop a forum for a fan site I am building and have kinda gotten hold of the skinning template system that myBB employs but I am running into two fairly major (for me anyway) issues and was looking for some assistance with these.

1) On the forum main page I am completely unable to center the menu bar at the top (with login and register on it) and also the bottom menu bar (the one with contact on it). I would also like to remove the page generation stats and center the copyright notice.

Could anyone help with these things?

Example:- http://vanillaninja.co.uk/forum/index.php

2) In the quoting of a post a really bizarre ugly thing happens that I don't really know how to describe. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could make the quoting more asthetically pleasing and also include the time of the original post?

Example:- http://vanillaninja.co.uk/forum/showthre...pid=4#pid4

Any help that you could give on either of these issues would be much appreciated.

PS I know the flash links don't work, I haven't updated them as I am purely in planning stage at the moment

1) Centering links is possible but tricky. Very few people have been able to do it! As for removing generation stats, do this:

Admin CP > Templates > Modify / Delete > *template set expand* > footer > Change Original > Remove

Code:

<div id="debug"><debugstuff></div>

As for centering copyright, do this:

Admin CP > Templates > Modify / Delete > *template set expand* > css > Change Original > Find:

Code:

#copyright {
    font: $theme[smallfontsize] $theme[smallfont];
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 0 0 0;
}

and replace with

Code:

#copyright {
    font: $theme[smallfontsize] $theme[smallfont];
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 0 0 0;
    text-align: center;
}

That should work!

2) This is possible. I'll do this later. Havn't got time atm.
