Okay so I installed this plugin and after a bit of trial and error got it to work. What I'm not liking about this plugin though is that it replaces the default background with a single colour one. I'm guessing is that the default pattern that any ProBoards forum has as default is actually a banner and that this is being replaced by the new images. My aim was to simply create an overlay on the default background image. I'm guessing I will have to take the default image and photoshop the overlay on top of it and save that as my banner. Or is there a simpler way?

Eek. I'm not sure if this will help, but I have my banner "background color" field, on this plugin, left blank so no color will fill in behind the image I chose for my board banner. I would think it's possible to put in the word "transparent" in that field and you won't see any color (or a place where any color should be- nothing white left behind the new board image.)

I'm not sure if this is what you are trying to troubleshoot. I apologize if this is no help.

That's okay. Thanks for trying. I've chosen for a different option.

hi Peter

is it possible to have this work for the recent threads page pls ? it only works for the recent posts atm.


And the message page only works when you are actually in a message and not on your message list, which isnt a problem but if it could be fixed id appreciate it thank you


thank you

edit: sorry my bad, it works for the recent threads, i didnt see the option in the plugin.

Sooooo now could we have it for ever page on the members profile ?  like members recent threads/posts/activity etc

We are working on banners on our boards, I am having a problem though. When I change the banner on one of the boards it changes the banner for all of the user profiles. I am using Different Page Banner but I do not get a list where it has show on page. I only have user profile. How can I change this so that the banner is shown only on the page it needs to be? And how many banners can you make?

Hi Peter, thanks for the plugin, it's a great addition to the Proboards Forums.

As per your previous posts, I've included the following code in the css to scale the banner images on smaller screens:

#banner-container > h2 {

background-size: 100% auto;

}

However, although it scales the image in width and in height correctly, the banner image still sits within a block defined by the 'Banner Height' variable in Admin->Plugins->Manage->Different Page Banner Settings->Banners.

Is there any way to tweak the code above to automatically scale the block as well as the banner image? I've tried everything I can think of but I get quickly out of my depth with CSS!

For info I also have this code in my CSS to scale the logo image on the front page, would this be interfering with your CSS code?

/* Logo scales with Forum Width */
#banner { height: 100%; padding: 0px; }
#banner-container, #banner { display: block; }
a#logo img { max-width: 100%; }

Many thanks.

sigracing,

Not 100% sure if I am understanding you.

The header and forum content is being wrapped (#wrapper) with a div that is set to a percentage (90% by default), so you will be restricted based on that.

[sigracing]

Sorry Peter, I'm not explaining myself

Here is an image of the logo image, with the window size reduced to about what it would be on an ipad. It looks and works fine.

However, here is the banner on another forum page, scaled to the same window size:


 

As you can see, the banner image itself scales correctly, but it sits in a 'block' that I believe is the banner height specified in the plugin, in this case 200 pixels.

Is there any code I can use/modify to get the banners to scale as per the first image above?

Many thanks.

[Peter]

sigracing ,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I get you now.  Been a while since I looked at the code, but yeah, I see what you mean.  Easiest way around that would be to place some CSS into the header of the board for the banner you want to change.

So for example, in that board where it is a smaller height, you can place this in the header...

<style>

#banner {

height: 50px;

}

</style>

A better solution would be to change the plugin so that you can specify the height for each banner, which I will likely do in the future.

This is still happening at the moment, is it something that will be looked into at all? Because that would be amazing! Especially if I could create borders for every tab, like Bookmarks/Participation etc etc and really personalize my Forum

Thank you in advance! Hope you don't mind me jumping on your post oreo K$NG..

I did have a quick look at it, but there is a bug with the plugin UI at the moment, once that is fixed I may look at adding additional pages.

Thank you Peter, that's very kind of you to consider looking into it. Brilliant plugin by the way!
