Where to edit the discussion html

destroyblazedestroyblaze New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hi there,

I need access to ground level HTML files to alter the way I want my forum to sit. What I want to do cannot be achieved with CSS alone and need to add in image tags. What file would I edit to do this? I have searched high and low.

Just to be clear, this is the discussions page where people talk to each other rather than a private message function.

The current html looks like:

<

div class="Comment">

<

div class="Meta">

Thanks in advance :)

    Search through the /applications/vanilla/views/discussion/ directory to find what you are looking for. For discussion posts, you may be looking for discussion.php. For comments, you may be looking for comments.php, comment.php, or helper_functions.php.

    You should not edit these views and any of the core Vanilla files and instead, copy them to the views directory of your theme, and then you can edit the copies. For example, /applications/vanilla/views/discussion/discussion.php should be copied to /themes/example/views/discussion/discussion.php.
