changing the logo requires NO file edits. After you upload the logo image via FTP, or your CPanel file manager, to root/images/logo/ The ONLY change you need to make is in acp/General Admin/Configuration/ Logo Setting

are you scrolling to the bottom of acp/General Admin/Configuration/ and hitting the "submit" button?
If you are, then your website is caching the images and it will eventually show up, but not knowing your cache duration, I cant say how long it will take.
the HL2 theme was designed at 1280x1024. almost all the other templates will resize nicely down to 1024x768 and many look fine at 600x800. If your using 600x800, its time for a new monitor...lol if it looks two big at 1024x768, then check on the images in your portal blocks and logo sizes

acp is submited hun, but according to ray i cant use that now anyway as it was changed from the default header to fit my banner size, however i had managed to change my header in the styles mod just yesterday in the style mods overal header doing what ive done here,

<td>
<div><a><img></a>
</div>
</td>

but for some reason this template doesnt want to recognise it.
sorry to be a pain

of coarse you can use it. Ray would have had to do some drastic changes in order for it not to work. The size is set in the acp.
This does work. It has worked for over 12,000 users and before this thread, I had never heard of anyone having this problem.
I made or ported most of the templates available here so I am familiar with thier function.
this will work, but your banner is too wide for HL2 unless you have a large monitor because it also has a 360px wide flash in the header
Code: Select all
<td><a><img></a></td>

so i do need to remove the bit of code that says div style="position:align centre

and change it to

<td> <a><img></a></td>

is this right ?

sorry i just noticed your post above the code, so what size header would be compatible with this template and where would it show up? above the flash header, or in it as part of the header ?

here is the HL2 logo location. The logo on this template is placed differently than most. It uses an absolute position tag and youll have to play with the #'s to position it differently

is that integramod logo 500 x 110 ?
if so, if i made a logo at that size how would i add it, thru ftp and acp the same as overall header ?
