Help needed with header, footer, and a few settings

[creativityunlimited]

Hi, I need someone to assist me in figuring out how to add links to the navigation bar of my forum, specifically when using Avalon Blue, Hestia Blue, and Serenity Cyan styles, which came from this site.

Using the same themes, I also need someone to show me how I can edit the copyright information on the footer. I don't plan to remove the existing copyright. I want to add my copyright information to the bundle.

Last but not least, I need someone to show me where in the admin settings I can change the regulations registrants agree to upon registration. There are a few things I want to add to it.

Thanks a lot for any help in this!

You dont say what styles the 3 you posted are based on however that aside, you can edit the overall_header.html to add links to your navigation.

With the copyright, this can be edited in overall_footer.html

This KB article from phpbb.com will give you the instructions on changing the registration agreement.

Thanks for the input. What do you mean what they're based on? Do you mean the coding language? They are primarily HTML, with what seems to be a weird phpBB version of PHP if that's what you're asking.

I found the files I need to edit from my knowledge of basic coding languages, but my problem here is that there are a lot of intricate codes that I am not familiar with, such as identifying "U_[insert specifics here]" type stuff that I'm not familiar with. I was hoping for more along the lines of a short description of how to do the coding to add the links and edit things, as I am extremely unfamiliar with these types of coding. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Style based on means the default phpBB2 style either proSilver or subsilver2.

For your intricate codes that you are not familiar with, U = URL and L = language

The easiest way to add links is to use HTML so that you dont need to edit language files etc so where you see something like:

Example based on prosilver overall_header.html

Greetings creativityunlimited,

Here are some links that might help to explain about the {_VARIABLE} syntax (called template variables):

I hope that helps! I still need to learn more about this, but these give you a good start (such as how to set a new language var so that a new image link will work with the javascript correctly).

With joy and peace in Christ,
Sir Emeth Mimetes

Thanks to all of you for the great input. I will be looking at the articles you linked for me, Sir Emeth Mimetes. Thanks a lot.

You raised another point, HG. How do I find out for sure which style(s) the styles I am using are based on?

Needless to say, I am very amateurish at best when it comes to forum building. Once I get the actual building done, the ACP is second nature to me, and I will be fine. My HTML and PHP knowledge has been no match for the intricacies of phpBB forum language and structure. I thank everybody for their patience with me and their willingness to help.

Hello and welcome, creativityunlimited.

The 3 styles that you mentioned in your post all appear to be based around subsilver2. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,

Patrick
