which is better?

[eilsoe]

Icons and header still needs work...

but which general layout is better?

this (http://www.avalon-rev.dk/phpbb2) ... or this one (http://www.avalon-rev.dk/board/board.htm)

[senocular]

does it have to be in frames? Thats the only thing I dont like about the second one, throws off my scrolling :-\

very nice though

[eilsoe]

I know i know...

I hate working in frames too, but apparently it's the only solution, considering the way phpbb is set up...

[SureShot]

yah I am with Sen on this one... I think you could take the frames out of the second and keep the background on the two surrounding tables.... looks great though!

[Guig0]

i prefer the first one :)

[andr.in]

first one! ---better scrolling! :-\

[eilsoe]

ok then :)

seems that #1 is the fav.

Thanks guys, I'll stick with that then ;)

[Jubba]

What was the second one? I could probably figure out how to fix it so that you don't have to use frames...

[eilsoe]

2 sec jubba, I'll upload it again...

[eilsoe]

there.. should work again now...

[Jubba]

ok I'll take a look at the phpbb source files today and I'll have an answer for you by tonight. I should be able to find something... :)

[eilsoe]

thx man :)

I looked all over the overall_header file, seemed it was the appropriate place for it.. but alas, no score... :(

I can place the left one fine, but the right on keeps placing itself in odd places...

[Jubba]

yeah I sort of got it already. You have to change overall_header.tpl and also index_body.tpl

Hopefully that will get you started. I just changed index_body.tpl and this is what my forums would look like.. I just changed the background color....

then just change the widths and make the image a background for the cells.... or insert the image inot the cell... or whatever.. :P

Good luck. If you don't have it done by the time I get back from the gym, and class, and work, and more class then I will finish snooping around and give you a hand.

Cheers,
Jubs :geek:

[Jubba]

now I've gone and messed it up.... :)

[Jubba]

I AM THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!!!

I got it. :):P

Ok, here is how it needs to be done.

Take all of the HTML markup in overall_header.tpl (right from the body tag to the end) and then cut and paste it into index_body.tpl

Then its as easy as adding a table tag along with three td cells :)

[Jubba]

oh, yeah.. you're gonna have to do the same thing for overall_footer.tpl... just copy and paste the code... and you should be good to go.

[eilsoe]

uhhh.... Now I'm all confused... crap..


I'll take a look at it in a little while, lunchtime :beam:

[Jubba]

Well did you see my forums? Thats something like what you want right? What you have to do is combine all three files:

overall_header.tpl

inbox_body.tpl

overall_footer.tpl

[eilsoe]

Actually all you need is the header and footer files :beam:


I did it! w00t!!!


Now I have the frames I want (sorta), and the scrolling is back to normal, phew ;)

that was a tricky one....


~oink oink :P
