Yes, mistakes are easy to do as I can attest to. Thanx for explaining.
Can you give a link to your site again, and tell me in what way your _main.php is messed up. And before I tell you what code to use, do you want your logo to replace the title of the site? Do you want the logo to be a link to your blog (for quick access back to the front page of the blog)? What's the url for the image you want to use as the logo?

Bolded area is my lame attempt at correcting where a logo image might go in kelskinki main.php
And before I tell you what code to use, do you want your logo to replace the title of the site? Do you want the logo to be a link to your blog (for quick access back to the front page of the blog)?
Yes to both. A sample entry would be fine and I can insert the url codes.

You still haven't posted a link. Without that I can't see what your code is generating and I can't make a very good guess about what you need to change.

I was hoping to avoid posting a link. Sending you a pm.
6 personman Aug 17, 2005 20:15
Got it. It looks good to me. Is there something wrong with the way it looks right now?
7 marmalade_kat Aug 17, 2005 20:42
I appreciate your help nonetheless.
If you didn't see the original, you wouldn't know that the logo is off center (top and bottom). I did a whole bunch of trial and error down through the code on the helsinki.css to get it perfect and now I could kick myself that I hosed up the main.php! :-/
Could you post an original helskinki main.php code page for me, please, so I see what it suppose to look like?
8 personman Aug 17, 2005 20:51
Ok, I think we can fix that. First, where you have
<p class="center"> <br />
take out the <br />
Let me know when that's done and I'll see what I can do with the css.
9 marmalade_kat Aug 17, 2005 21:17
It removed the top border space only as you might have guessed.
How do I put a border back in that will equal out for both top and bottom and frame the logo once again in light blue?

10 personman Aug 17, 2005 21:30
Try putting this in your stylesheet:
.pageHeader img {
padding: 20px;
}If you want the code for the stock _main.php file, then download the skin again, unzip it and look at the code. [url=http://www.brendoman.com/dbc?skin=helskinki]Here's a link[/url] to my blog using the Helskinki skin.
11 marmalade_kat Aug 17, 2005 22:07
The code worked but the logo went off to the left. When I decreased it from 20 to 5, it went back to the center but the entire border was a little thin. Anything over 5 made it go off center. So I changed the margin and that helped the sides but not for the top and bottom.
12 personman Aug 17, 2005 22:20
You could also change it to look more like this:
.pageHeader img {
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
}
Now you can edit each value individually. That might help you get it where you want it.
13 marmalade_kat Aug 17, 2005 23:01
It worked well. :)
But one more thing. There is a much bigger space of dark blue between the logo's light blue bottom border and the light blue body. Is there anyway to make that dark blue space thinner?
As for that, is there a way to put an image background in for the whole page instead of a color code while keeping the light blue in the post section?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
edit...
Okay, look. I downloaded the main.php as you instructed.
<div class="pageHeader">
<?php require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_bloglist.php'); // BLOG LIST INCLUDED HERE ?>
<h1 id="pageTitle"><?php $Blog->disp('name', 'htmlbody') ?></h1>
</div>
I'm pretty sure this was the original portion that you told me to edit. If this is correct, how does one edit this and put in a logo url just in this portion?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And if it isn't, then this is the entire main.php. So you can see for yourself.

Your post and user account got lost when the forum moved over the weekend. They had to restore from a database backup that was before your signed on and we started our thread. Sorry about that. The migration is complete, so it shouldn't happen again.
Can you give a link to your site again, and tell me in what way your _main.php is messed up. And before I tell you what code to use, do you want your logo to replace the title of the site? Do you want the logo to be a link to your blog (for quick access back to the front page of the blog)? What's the url for the image you want to use as the logo?
