Please help with php forum code

[Trish]

Please bear with me, I'm new to php. I've installed EasyForum (php) on a site. I need to have a logo at the top of the page.

They offer instructions, It says to add a line of code on the config.php page but it doesn't work, no matter where I put it. What am I missing here?

Here is the link to the code they gave me:
http://www.triciacontala.com/README.HTM

Here is the software main site: http://hot-things.net/cs/articles.php?cid=4

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you please show us the code where you have tried to insert the logo image.

Thank you for replying


This is the "config.php" page. It says to put it in the "Body" (there is no body) I placed it where the 1st forum begins on page:

<?php error_reporting(1);if(function_exists('import_request_variables')){import_request_variables("gpc");$REMOTE_ADDR=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];$PHP_SELF=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];$SERVER_NAME=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME'];$SCRIPT_NAME=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'];}

It says the code above will lead to this page cust-top.inc , so I added what I thought would work in here

I'm so frustrated.

Based on my reading of the instructions you have 2 ways of including a logo.

The first is by editing this file 'incl/cust-top.inc', it seems to read that it is in that file that you can include things like your site headers. I am not sure if you need to change anything in the config.php file other than you might need to add this line 'include "incl/cust-top.inc";

The other option for putting in a logo is to edit the 'lang-en.inc' file.

Their instructions say the following - 'You can replace the title EasyForum! 2.x appearing at the top of the forum with any other title you wish or just insert an image tag: (lang-xx.inc, line #6)'.

To me this means you edit your 'lang-en.inc', this is the one named in your config.php file, and change line 6 by replacing their title with something like <img src="mylogo.jpg">.

Hope this helps

[Trish]

Thank you for your response and time.

I've changed that line in the code and it's not showing. I'm not sure where the image has to go to be read, here do I put the image?

Forum root, inc, pic?

In the current file you're editing instead of...

$lang[2]='<img src="forumheader.jpg">.'; 

have you tried

$lang[2]='<a href="http://www.swordofpower.org/forums/pics/forumheader.jpg">'; 

just to see if you get your image?

If it shows then you know it was just an issue with the path from the current file you're editing and it not seeing the image. Good luck.
