I'm mortified that you, of all people, caught my spelling error. Shocked

That's what happens when you hand code. Laughing

I used to use Ace HTML 4 a while back...before I learned to code myself. It does have that nice feature that checks your code. It really shouldn't matter what tools are used if the outcome is what you expect...just my $0.2.

Er...um...about an hour now. Very Happy

Still having a little trouble redirecting those going to www.irsolutions.biz/cfh. It's not working yet. Folks coming to the forums using their bookmarks are being redirected to www.chipsfunhouse.com/cfh/forums ...the cfh shouldn't be on there. So don't bookmark anything yet...or you'll never get back here. Laughing

Go directly here:
www.chipsfunhouse.com and bookmark the forums from there along with the stats.

teh Howling is rather perceptive. Wink

Nice to see you have your own domain.... FREEDOM!
Ever need any help with php, lemme know....
first suggestion I would have is:
Open the file overall_header.tpl in \templates\subSilver, then find the following code: (keep a backup just in case)
Code:
<a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}" vspace="1" /></a>
and replace with:
Code:
<a href="http://www.chipsfunhouse.com/"><img src="http://www.chipsfunhouse.com/cfh/images/CfH.gif" border="0" alt="Return to Chip's Fun House - A not so serious place to have some fun :-)" vspace="1" /></a>
Obviously you can change this to suit in any html editor... was just an example
This will immediately make the forums look like a part of your site! Smile and provide a simple visual link to return to the homepage. The forum index link is left unaffected.
I'll leave the next part up to you to figure out. Really is simple once pointed out...... in same file find (in the next line) the changes you made to site name. You can add simple html there as well to doctor up the look and font of the
Code:
Chips' Fun House
Team Fortress Classic Server Forums
header title {sitename} and {site_description} that you have set. If you change this later in the Control Panel it will revert to the default styles...
Have fun Chip!!
peace
Cool

No.... and the CP doesn't allow for any kind of customization of text, alt-text or hyperlinking. The only two ways (without really changing chunks of the php code) to do it are to edit the HTML source of the template file (overall_header.tpl or overall_footer.tpl) or make changes in the CSS (hard to target specific text areas). Both are global, but the .tpl fix is more specific and easier to control the output. As the header/footer never changes (within the given template used) you can make them as you see fit by changing the code.

Thanks for the info {GCC}mtbmed. Laughing

I'll definitely look into your suggestion. Although, I actually use that logo to click back to the main forum index. I'm lazy, it's easier to locate and click that rather than the index just below it. Razz
But it is a great suggestion. I'd have to redo the CfH logo first, as it's on a black background. I'll change it to white and it would look great. I'd love to have the forum title in the same red as the logo...that would be neat. Cool

As for "freedom"...well, I own irsolutions.biz. So I was always free to use that as I saw fit. Our little world here just clashed with a .biz addy. This is far more appropriate.

I will definitely look into yours, and other suggestions when...
I upgrade the forums. Another upgrade is out already. Evil or Very Mad
Poke Barbar serveral times with a cattle prod...he's been working on a new site for us now for ages. I still may explore a php site also along with adding other templates to the forums.
Do some work on the TFC server. I've not added any maps as promised in quite a while.

NOTE: The redirection of those using the old url is now working properly. Make sure to bookmark the new site and forum url's. I won't leave the redirection in forever.

Was only a suggestion. You can also leave the original reference to the U_INDEX and the L_INDEX and just change the img src.... or mix and match. pHP is friendly that way.
As the .biz I wasn't sure, but yes, it looks great seeing CFH has it's own easy to identify domain.
If you are not already at phpV2.0.14 you need to be soon, although not as critical as when they went to .13
If you are looking at a php website there are oodles of options out there. I have a couple favs, although you can see one vers I'm tinkering with for my Mountain/Road biking website...
anywhooos If you need any help at all, just lemme know. Always willing to help where I can.
peace
Cool

Well...the new url is working perfectly at this point. Some behind the scenes stuff that redirects folks using the old bookmarks is finally doing what it should.

I tool {GCC}mtbmed's suggestion and we now have a nice new graphic on the forums that directs you back to the main web site. Perhaps I'll do something fancier some day...but I like it.

As simple (for now) as the main site is, I suggest you bookmark and utilize it. There is a live game monitor on there telling you who's on the server and what map is being played. Since the server rotation is also listed there, you'll be able to come on for your favorite map at just the right time.
It also might make the paypal donation link catch your eye more often. Wink


I'm now using the banner that Miles made for the stats page...it looks awesome. My business here is done...for the time being. Razz
