Would be nice if you would provide some info. Like what is the image you are trying to put in the code? What did you try? Why not post the code you changed, instead of the whole index.template.php file? Would probably help if you told what theme this is too, as it's most likely already been done if it's one of our themes.

I didn't post the whole index just a part of it where I changed the banner. But here is the part of that that I changed to make it easier:

Code Select

<td class="header_bg"><a href="', $scripturl, '"><img src="http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m206/Takeelah/Project20199920Banner1.jpg">, $settings['images_url'], '/basic.png" style="float:left; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" border="0" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a></td>
     </tr>
  </table>';

I changed the url address.

Try this:

Code Select

<td class="header_bg"><a href="', $scripturl, '"><img src="http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m206/Takeelah/Project20199920Banner1.jpg" style="float:left; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" border="0" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a></td>
     </tr>
  </table>';

Yes, that worked perfectly! Thank you. If it isn't too much trouble could you tell me how to center it?

IchBin · October 17, 2009, 09:51:28 PM

<td class="header_bg" align="center"> might do it.
