Full Version: Can't Find "WelcomeBlock" @ Header & Profile Pages Scrunched
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
So I added a page to my header via the "Additional Pages" plugin and put the link/button into my header template and thats where the trouble began.

Once I did that...The whole forum became distorted and scrunched up.

I do have the side box plugin however I knew that was probably not the cause as all I did was add a link into the header next to "Home/Calendar" etc...and didn't even touch any other coding/plugin.

So I managed to fix the distortion to almost perfection via the "#wrapper_container"

Now though, I have no idea what happened to the bar that houses our "WELCOME BACK "foofighter" PRIVATE MESSAGES / USER CP - LOG OUT, ETC..."

----------------------------------------------

1. Anyone know why, when I added a new link into header template, it scrunched my forum up?

2. Anyone know where to get that bar/block can be found("welcome back bar")?

3. My profile pages are scrunched up...just noticed.

4. In profile pages, the (contact us/rss syndication etc...bar is on top now??)

5. All my post TEXT and "Statistics" are centered for some reason??
Go to your theme's template in the Admin Panel (Admin Panel > Themes > Templates). Open the "header" group and check the templates called header_welcomeblock_guest, header_welcomeblock_member, header_welcomeblock_member_moderator and header_welcomeblock_member_admin and check if the links are there. If not, add them. This will work to add the links Private Messages, User CP, Log out, etc. You can copy them from the default theme.

Now, for the other things, it would be useful if you gave us a link to your forum.
Ok, added url in first post.

I am check those templates and they all seem to be there, my guess is that they are maybe "behind" something??

That still doesn't explain why the (contact us/mybb/return to top rss syndication etc...) bar is scrunched up top in profiles etc...

Just like it was on the index until I increased from 910px to 1240px, which I shouldn't of had to do, since all I did was add a link on the header??

...why would doing that mess up any templates what so ever...let alone a template that I wasn't even in at the time...only the "Header" template...?

Undecided

Fix the validation errors and your problems will probably be solved. You have html tags open but not closed, and some closed that weren't open to start with.

EDIT: is {$welcomeblock} not in the header template at all?
This here is my "Header" Template;

<div id="games_background"><div id="menu_container"> 			<div id="pagemenucontainer"> 				<ul id="pagemenu"> 					<li class="home"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> 					<li class="search"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php">{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>					<li class="memberlist"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php">{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li><!-- ListFollowerToplinks -->					<li><a href="http://eclypticstudios.com/forums/misc.php?top=followers" class="follower list">Subscribers</a></li>					<li class="calendar"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php">{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>					<li class="help"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help">{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li> 					<li class="portal"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/portal.php?action=Portal">{$lang->toplinks_portal}</a></li> 				</ul> 			</div></div></div><div id="header_bar"><div id="wrapper_container"><div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a></div><img src="images/gamesmania/advertise.png" class="advertise">
So... {$welcomeblock} doesn't seem to be in there.

So I just need to re-add it?

Why, when I added a link to my header it...

1. Scrunched up all my pages Index(temperarily fixed), profile pages, etc...
2. Removed the {$welcomeblock} from my header?
Here is my new header, something doesn't seem right though, how it was before...

<div id="games_background"><div id="menu_container"> 			<div id="pagemenucontainer"> 				<ul id="pagemenu"> 					<li class="home"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> 					<li class="search"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php">{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>					<li class="memberlist"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php">{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li><!-- ListFollowerToplinks -->					<li><a href="http://eclypticstudios.com/forums/misc.php?top=followers" class="follower list">Subscribers</a></li>					<li class="calendar"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php">{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>					<li class="help"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help">{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li> 					<li class="portal"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/portal.php?action=Portal">{$lang->toplinks_portal}</a></li> 				</ul> 			</div></div></div><div id="header_bar"><div id="wrapper_container"><div class="logo"><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$theme['logo']}" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a><img src="images/gamesmania/advertise.png" class="advertise" alt="imagedescription"/>{$welcomeblock}{$unreadreports}<!-- ProfileComments -->{$commentalert}<!-- /ProfileComments --></div></div></div>

...

1. Is there anything I am missing that you can think of that should be in there, and where in there should it be?

2. Like, why don't I have an alert type bar there, I had one before from the "Profile Comments" plugin, with the background and all...

3. I seem to be missing the navigation menu code too, such as "category-->forum-->topic"

Thanks.
