Hi

Hope you guys can help im new to mybb and really want to know how to do this

First question how can i change the layout of the top navigation bar as in i want the search button to be first rather then the last

2nd question how do i add some custom text to the top of the screen just under the navigation bar as in what they have done here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ where i can welcome members with a short message

Thanks for your help and time

Log into your admin CP, go to Templates & Styles > Templates > Click your theme > Header templates > Click Header

Then to make the link order and to add thinks change this as you would ordinary HTML:

			<div class="menu">
				<ul>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/search.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/memberlist.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/memberlist.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_memberlist}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/calendar.php"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/calendar.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_calendar}</a></li>
					<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/help.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_help}</a></li>
				</ul>
			</div>

Then to add text under the nav bar in that same file put your code for your text under:

<hr class="hidden" />

I did what you said and the text appeard just below the navbar so no problem there. the only problem i do have is now that i have added the text to the main forum page it appears on every single page how can i do it so it only appears on the main forum page and not the others

Also any idea how i would go about adding a registration link to the navbar?

Thanks again

Just add

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=register">Register</a></li>

Well, if you added the links/text to the header template, it is going to show up on every page...

There must be a way when you can add text to just one of the pages without affecting the rest of them?

I still need help with this so if anyone knows a way please let me know

I just need the text on the main page and none of the others

Thanks

You'd probably want to add it to the index page then.
