Hi Forum World!

I have been searching for an answer to this and cannot find anything. Maybe just wording it wrong.

I added a background image to the site in the css.tpl file, but I want the logo to sit on white and not show through the background image I added. Where might I do that? Is it in the css.tpl or in the header.tpl...and where?

Also you can see that I want to do the same thing where the banner sits. It needs to be on white and not show through the background image

Please someone help! Sorry if these are stupid questions.

A URL to the site would help, so we can see what you header, logo and stuff are. To answer your question: header.tpl should define the structure that css.tpl can style. So you need both for this. It's all the combo of HTML and CSS.

<div style="background:white">
  <center>
    <img src="...." />
  </center>
</div>

Something like that, but it's more a HTML/CSS issue than a Phorum issue. The place where you should edit this is header.tpl. If you are having a hard time styling the code, then ask the person who did the styling for the main site. He/she who did that should get the styling in Phorum done in no-time.

The person who set up the rest of the site is no longer working for this person, so we inherited this website and are trying to learn everything about what has been installed.

The div code helped, but there still is a slight problem where the "Welcome!" is and the advertisement banner.

If you could tell me what file I could fix those also.

Thank you in advance.

You are creating broken HTML code. The image code is before the opening <body> tag. It's too bad that the person who did the original site is no longer working there, but please find somebody that knows HTML to help you out here.

I assume when you said "the image code is before the <body> tag" was referring to the banner/advertisement right? Just need to know what page that banner resides on.

We don't have any html experts. Thought these forums were designed to help people, even if they had basic html skills?

Could it be that your image is too big, having a bunch of white on both sides of your logo?

Yes there is but it is ok as is. It is the banner/advertisement that we are trying to have the background be white. Do you know what .tpl file handles displaying it on the homepage?
