Banner - rotating pictures?

DavidColburn

I was just experimenting with the banner image and broke it. ;-/
I discovered that Logo was linked to BDNE4X642DU5.jpg in /uploads so I tried renaming that to -old and copied in a different image and named it BDNE4X642DU5.jpg
That worked ...
However, when I tried to rename in order to revert to the original image when I reloaded the page it seems stuck on the second image.
Why would that be, please?

Look in the config.php for this line, this is where it stores your choice from the dashboard. To change it you can try changing it here.

$Configuration['Garden']['Logo'] = 'EZA2LOGCX6KV.png';

Also I noticed on my server that when I do this kind of thing it takes a bit for it show and keeps showing the old image. Sometimes it does not overwrite the original because it is the same name.

Just clear cache and wait to see if shows.

I put this in exp.css of extrapage, was that the intended location?
#Menu a {
text-ident; 0px; line-height; 1.7;
}
Interestingly, it displayed the buttons on the horizontal plane and reversed their order, with the email link first.

vrijvlinder

Yes that is the idea , if you do not want them horizontal , I think it looks better though, but if you don't want them inline you can add

display:block!important

to the ul#Menu css rule in the extrapage css.

ul#Menu{display:block!important;}

To reverse the order just put the links in reverse lol so they come out in the order you want.

The privacy notice plugin sorts the menu to make sure it is the last link on the menu so the popup works on it.

That may be the reason for the reversal.

I'm not finding a config.php in Dashboard but do see a configure.php in /settings - is that the one?

vrijvlinder

No in your file manager is where to look in

/conf/config.php

it's the third one down from applications

applications

cache

conf

vrijvlinder

you need to put this line in the extra page I am not seeing it only the selector did you erase it? If you don't put it in the links look indented and with wrong line height.

#Menu a {
text-indent: 0px;
line-height: 1.7!important;
}

A very big TIP

that's why the made the wiki it's worth a scan. In some (perhaps most) cases it provide more info than the documentation.

It was a cache thing.

I just looked using Firefox vs Seamonkey browser & it has reverted.
I'm not sure how to clear the cache without wiping everything in browser memory - which can be a nuisance.

vrijvlinder

you can try clearing the forum cache

just erase all the .ini files in the cache folder be careful not to erase the Smarty compile folder

peregrine

It's two different caches, you can change the refresh settings in your browser to refresh on each page load.

you clear web cache content under advanced, not your history. why would it be a nuisance.

I put it in exp.css of extrapage/design - was that the wrong place?

Great! I printed both and added them to my Vanilla Forum folder for future reference.

Also there is a firefox extension that allows to reload the style sheets and see the changes right away.

Your Favicon should go in the design folder so it gets picked up automatically and/ or change the link to the favicons in the default.master.php

I'm not sure if this is the right place in Firefox to make the change or what change to make:

No that is the right place, but I am not seeing the change

Maybe it is a catch thing too , when I look at the css for extra page in the web inspector

I see an empty rule

#Menu a {

}

I had already added Firebug, does this add a new feature of duplicate one, please?

I'm new to Firefox and even newer to Firebug!

vrijvlinder

ok I see what happened you made an typo please change these you put a semicolon where there should be a :

#Menu a {
text-ident; 0px; line-height; 1.7;
}

to this

#Menu a {
text-ident: 0px; line-height: 1.7;
}

The entire content of exp.css in extrapage is:

Body {
      padding-left: 5px; 
      }    

#Menu a {
text-ident; 0px; line-height; 1.7;
}
