Pyschostats Themes
hey Guys,
I have tried to read as much current information about this as possible but im still a little lost.
my main stats page is http://tgc.stats.nuclearfallout.net
just your basic stats page. what I would like to do is change the nuclearfallout.net banner at the top of the page to a custom Clan banner. If that is possible.
furthermore...i was potentially looking into changing the entire theme (i.e. maybe going to this blue theme here ... http://www.psychostats.com/contribs/vie ... itemid=137)
Anyways..the problem im having is that i experimented with this and noted the current banner within themes is NOT the nuclearfallout banner...so my replacing the banner with my custom clan banner picture didnt do anything.
If you could help me as to whether this is even possible i would appreciate it. I am some what of a newbie to so any detailed steps would be appreciated. Also...if you know of any additional customization ideas to the stats page that are cool I would really appreciate any information.
Thanks to all who even took the time to read this,
Seth

1. You should follow my psychostats theme tutorial here.
2. Banner can be done through two methods. First method is replacing the banner.gif within the theme folder (probably theme/dep/images) with the same dimensions as the default image. Another method is editing the actual code in the header.html (located in theme folder).
If nothing changed when you replaced the banner.gif, its possible your browser has it cached. Make sure you refresh and/or clear cache if needed.

Hey Nick...I read your theme tutorial before posting...thanks for such a detailed layout by the way. But it seems to be unrelated to the theme/dep/psweb/images i have. specificallly, in that directory the banner.gif shows a red banner that says "pyschostats" with a gun. Yet the banner displayed on our stats page is your nuclearfallout.net banner as seen directly above here in the forums. Perhaps this html header routing is the key...maybe its pointed to that banner.Nick|NFo wrote:1. You should follow my psychostats theme tutorial here.

i appreciate the information and will look into it...thanks for the quick response...you guys have some great information on here.
P.S. This is sort of a side issue but i am also in the same clan with [YG]Sgt.Extreme. He posted earlier in the month regarding skins on our server. http://rentalforums.nuclearfallout.net/ ... php?t=2756
We are using beetlesmod and have the latest updates...but we have been unable to view the phoenix faction and gign default skins now for over 2 months. apparently beetlesmod will only allow the server to show the guerilla and seal skins. the new skins just released...also do not appear.
anyways..my question is your thoughts regarding mods for your servers. I desperately want to switch to mani mod because i have seen other servers run very smooth with this mod and the skins appear fine. Do you have any knowledge or reason to suspect that beetlesmod is definitely worth scrapping?? I'm looking for some expertise advice that i can take to my clan and push forward with the mod switch. this skins issue has been a big one already
Hey Nick,
I copied this out of my header.html file:
{strip}
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td> </td></tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><a href="{$URLROOT}"><img src="{$conf.imagesurl}banner.gif" width="600" height="75"
The thing to note is that it appears to be pointed to my dep/images/banner.gif which as i mentioned is a red picture saying psychostats by stormtrooper. Yet on my main stats page...here is the description of the banner at the top: http://tgc.stats.nuclearfallout.net/images/banner.gif
also note that the pixels for this banner are 391 X 90
so it appears that my tgc.stats.nuclearfallout.net page is pulling this nuclearfallout.net banner from somewhere using code that i cant seem to find in the header.html page
any thoughts??

Thats because currently your config has its imageurl setup to the /images/ directory
There are several ways to get around that, like put the banner.gif into that and don't worry about it. You could change the images directory to something else, or you could just edit the html and not use
and instead use
or whatever subdirectory you want it in
Code: Select all
$conf['imagesurl'] = '/images/';
Code: Select all
<img src="{$conf.imagesurl}banner.gif"
Code: Select all
<img src="http://tgc.stats.nuclearfallout.net/images/banner.gif"

Well i tried to do your latter point. And its still not working for me.Nick|NFo wrote:Thats because currently your config has its imageurl setup to the /images/ directory

Basically i created a 600 x 90 pixel banner.jpg file and placed it at http://www.monsterserveronline.com/images/banner.jpg that's our webspace.
Then i took the header.html file and edited the code to say <img src="www.monsterserveronline.com/images/banner.jpg width=600 height=90> and ftp'd it back to its directory.
nothing changed. does it have to wait for an update???
Nick you are the man..i just did and it was there...thought i did it but then i thought..."hmm better check the forums cause Nick is cool enough to prob do it for me".Nick|NFo wrote:I have changed it for you now. If you can't see the change, you need to refresh your browser. The image looks good
hey also as a side note...and i hate to be picky....but i updated in the header.html file (which apparently didnt work cause u fixed it) that the image would also go to our website http://www.monsterserveronline.com instead of nuclearfallout.net
if thats allowed can you help me do it...if its not then i understand.
but man thanks again dude...you are the man...seriously...
as an aside (anyway u could pm me or post to me how u did it so that i can fix it in the future?? or is it something u have to do?)
thx again bro,
Seth

Make sure that if you edit it, the file gets uploaded back to the FTP. Sometimes the user forgets to upload it back, some ftp clients do not automatically if you directly edit it. I did not see any change to the file when I edited it.
