Need a user1 and user2 area added to template

Mr Flibble · 11.05.2004, 22:13

Hi boys and girls

I'm looking for a little (or a lot of) help with 3 specific things template related. I'm creating a website for a local safe driving group, currently residing here: http://icedjems.co.uk/clevelandroada - it is using Arthurs Greenportal template. The CSS is great and overall I like this template BUT I remember a template from sessiondesign where they had a user1 and user2 area both defined to the right hand side of the main header logo..with just about enough space to house the login form in one of them. No matter how much I hack this index.php I cannot get the table code correctly place and I repeatedly kill my template

Any help with that would be appreciate but I have yet ANOTHER request of the same ilk. There is an 'announcement' area for the Newsflash module in the bottom left and think it would be better placed in the usual top centre (below the header graphic) - any takers?

And because I am both greedy and cheeky, a third, but less important question - how would I go about placing an image beneath a module ?? kind of like a watermark? Do not NEED to do this, just wondered how?

As ever any and all help appreciated

Superb!

I've installed dreamweaver mx in the hope of understanding how to make a template but so far its just a collection of coloured buttons

Yea I remember the first time I opened Dreamweaver i nearly had an apoplexy but hey now I'm lovin it.

Of course I'm probably only using 5% of its features

Ok, I can put user1 and user2 next to each other and to the right of the header graphic, but since the login module takes up so much height, this is impractical. Do you want user1 and user2 to sit in a column, atop of each other and to the right of the header? Of course, if you could show me the template you're trying to emulate, it would be much easier.

Hi Mark

I really didnt want to put anybody to that much trouble! The idea behind the login form/online module for user1 and/or user2 was strictly because the main left and right columns look like becoming overloaded - so I'm completely at your mercy if you have a better idea

The inspiration for the top right login came from a template called orangesession created by session design and downloaded from the Hut, but you are right if memory serves it had a very high top header to compensate and that probably will not sit in well with Arthurs greenportal. Whatever you could do would be appreciated even moving the newsflash bit

Did'nt want to cheekily ask someone to redesign the whole template for me LOL.
