Description and Message
Hello!

First: this is a great mod! I was able to ditch my old system and shift completely to phpBB when I found this. So thanks for all your genius and hard work, it is greatly appreciated.

Second: I want to change the default size for the sitelogo_small.png file. However, I can't find where in the code this file is specified. Can you tell me? I am using the MilkyWay theme if that makes a difference. It is up and running just fine otherwise.

Third: Where do I change the headers of the various portal boxes, such as "Welcome" and "Top Poster"?

Fourth: Where would I go to change the default background color of the main body of the page from white to something else?

Thanks very much! These are easy questions but I couldn't find the right files to modify.

In Answer to the following:

3) 2 places

Code: Select all

Root/Language/en/mods/lang_portal.php
and

Code: Select all

Root/Styles/style_name/template/portal/block/welcome.html
For the lang_portal.php simply find the word and replace, but remember this might have an effect on other occurences of this word.

For the welcome.html simply look for and change the following:

Code: Select all

<th>{L_WELCOME}</th>
To

Code: Select all

<th>What ever you want</th>
Using the above method does not use the language files..

4) Depends on your Style that your using..

Default for Prosilver is colours.css in your style/theme folder...

Look for the following:

Code: Select all

html, body {
	color: #536482;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
replace #FFFFFFF with what ever colour you want..

Thanks a lot, that is very helpful. I'm new to phpBB and still trying to understand how the style mods fit together with an additional mod like Portal.

Still, I can't find where to resize the default logo size from 300x100. It must be defined somewhere because when I change the graph file it gets resized.

To change default logo size do the following..

acp/styles/imagesets/edit your image set/

Under Edit IMage Set select your image "Main Logo"

Choose your image and specify a size..
