Description and Message
Hi all,

I won't bore you all with the details but the guy who was designing, installing and administarting my site has went 'walkabouts' and left me to my own devices I know absolutely nothing about php, phpBB, Portals etc etc so am completely at your mercy.

I have had some basic experience of html and ftp, so hopefully I'll be able to pick this up as I go along.

My initial questions are:

1) When editing files, should I edit a working copy of the originals on my PC, then upload to the host using ftp, or edit them using the ACP?
2) Which file(s) should I be looking to edit so that I can change the URL in the 'Link To Us' and the 'PayPal' donations box?
3) How do I increase the space between the line at the top of the clock, and the actual clock?

Although the initial design is ok and the site is functional, I think there is still much to be done to bring the site to life!!! All your comments and suggestions welcomed, as long as you can tell me how to do whatever it is you suggest!!

Thanks in advance.

Kindest Regards & Best Wishes for 2009

Hi Foxy,

1) When editing files, should I edit a working copy of the originals on my PC, then upload to the host using ftp, ...

Yes. If in doubt, make a backup copy first.

2) Which file(s) should I be looking to edit so that I can change the URL in the 'Link To Us' ...

The URL is automatically drawn by the system.

If you want to have a different URL, you have to hard-code it in /styles/*your_style*/template/portal/block/link_us.html:

Find

Code: Select all

value="{U_LINK_US}"

Replace with

Code: Select all

value="<a href="http://www.your-domain.tld" >Your Link-Text</a>"

... and the 'PayPal' donations box?

The Mail-Account for Paypal is set in ACP -> MODS -> Portal -> Paypal

[Foxy]

Thomas,

Thanks for your reply. Will try changing the URL as you suggested.

Regarding the PayPal Donations Box. I have the account set up, I just want to edit the text so that it is more relevant to our needs. I now know how to edit the files, the difficulty lies in knowing which file hold the relevant information.

Where would I find the information for the Centre PayPal Donation.

How do I increase the space between the line at the top of the clock, and the actual clock?

Foxy

Thomas,

Back so soon!!

Here are the contents of the file 'link_us.html', I cannot find the values you have given for editing. If you care to look at the link on my site, you will see why I want it changed, it's basically a load of pants.

Open

/root/language/*your_lang*/mods/lang_portal.php

Find

Code: Select all

'DONATION_TEXT'	=> 'is a group suplying services with no intention of any revenue. Anyone who wants to support this group can do so by donating so that the cost of server, the domain etc. can be covered.',

Edit

Code: Select all

is a group suplying services with no intention of any revenue. Anyone who wants to support this group can do so by donating so that the cost of server, the domain etc. can be covered.

according to your needs.

Prior to editing phpBB3 language files, you should have read this

Hi Foxy,

I just visited your site to have a look at the clock spacing and what am I forced to see?

You've removed our credits!

It is common policy to refuse support for all users which do not leave the credits where they belong, and so do we!

[Foxy]

Thomas,

Thanks again for your reply.

Regarding the removal of your credits:

As I said in my initial post

'I won't bore you all with the details but the guy who was designing, installing and administarting my site has went 'walkabouts' and left me to my own devices I know absolutely nothing about php, phpBB, Portals etc etc so am completely at your mercy.'

Anything that has been removed, has been removed by the guy who was designing our site. If credits have been removed, then I can only apologise. I wouldn't know how to, that's why I'm on this site.

If you care to tell me how to resolve this issue, I'll take care of it.

Foxy

Thomas,

Thanks again for the reply.

When I try to add the code '<br /><div class="copyright">{L_PORTAL_COPY}</div' as you suggested, the portal credits always appear at the top of my portal page, just under the menu bar.

Hi Foxy,

Add the code at the "... ..."-position. Make sure, that you are in the <!-- [-] center block area --> -section which defines the end of the center block area (while <!-- [+] center block area --> is marking the start).

[Foxy]

Thomas,

Here is the code of my portal_body.html, with the code inserted where you said. However, the credits are still at the top of the page, underneath the menu bar. I have left the code in so you can have a look at it for yourself at http://www.tight-lines.net and let me know where I've gone wrong (again!)

Thanks for your patience.
Foxy
