Banner Picture Problem

Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2011 12:36 am

I tried searching for info on this, but didn't find what I needed. If I missed it, I hope someone will steer me in the right direction.

When I first started using RN, I used a different theme (which was easier to adjust sizes), downloaded elsewhere, but, eventually changed to one included with the original RN download. At that time, I cheated with the banner picture, i.e., I found the location of the installed banner picture (logo.gif) and renamed it and uploaded my picture and gave it the same same name, 'logo.gif'. It worked with the RavenIce theme, to an extent, but it wasn't centered. I could have just created a larger banner picture to make it fit the theme dimensions. I couldn't find where to center it or make the theme not as wide. RavenIce did not offer a config.php file inside the theme folder.

What I would like to do at this point is add another picture to fill the void left in the banner area. What I need is for someone to tell me where the code for that is to modify...what file name. Somewhere, I know it is calling for 'logo.gif' and I want to add a logo2.gif to sit beside it. And is it just a simple matter to add logo2 after logo1? I will probably need some code help to make that work, if not. Hopefully, I have made my issue clear to understand.

The site in question, is the one associated with my account, if you need to see it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

In the RavenIce theme.php function themeheader(), the logo image is coded in. The RavenIce/style.style.css is where the positioning is controlled. It is using the head_content id for the image.

Code:

#head_content {


  width: auto;


  float: left;


  padding: 8px;


}





#head_content img {


  margin: 10px 4px 10px 14px;


  padding: 0;


}

The image is 352x50. If you use a different size image, you will need to adjust the margin to make it fit correctly. If you want to center the logo, you would need to change the head_content to something like this:

Code:




#head_content {


  width: 352px;


  margin: auto;


  padding: 8px;


}

Be sure that the width is the correct width for the image you are using.

Thanks for the quick reply, Nuken. That is good info. Now, can you tell me where the picture (logo.gif)is called into play (what file), I want to add another picture (logo2.gif), next to it, that will fill the void left by using the smaller picture, in the first place.
