Where is the code that deals with the Top Banner section in the Helius theme? Specifically, I just want to trim it down by about half. Maybe I haven't found it because I haven't slept in over 48 hours. Possibly.

umm..do you mean Banners. like if you have Advertisement banner son your site?
Where is THAT code? in the theme?

Or are you tlaking about the logo for Helius?
Man I'm not awake yet.

ok here goes.
In our Nuke6.5 themes, we edited them all to get the banners to show next to the logo.
look in theme.php

Code:

    $numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1'"));
   /* Get a random banner if exist any. */ 
   /* More efficient random stuff, thanks to Cristian Arroyo from http://www.planetalinux.com.ar */ 

    if ($numrows>1) { 
   $numrows = $numrows-1; 
   mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
   $bannum = mt_rand(0, $numrows); 
    } else { 
   $bannum = 0; 
    } 
    $sql = "SELECT bid, imageurl, clickurl, alttext FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1' LIMIT $bannum,1"; 
    $result = $db->sql_query($sql); 
    $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 
    $bid = $row[bid]; 
    $imageurl = $row[imageurl]; 
    $clickurl = $row[clickurl]; 
    $alttext = $row[alttext]; 
    
    if (!is_admin($admin)) { 
       $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_banner SET impmade=impmade+1 WHERE bid='$bid'"); 
    } 
    if($numrows>0) { 
   $sql2 = "SELECT cid, imptotal, impmade, clicks, date FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE bid='$bid'"; 
   $result2 = $db->sql_query($sql2); 
   $row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2); 
   $cid = $row2[cid]; 
   $imptotal = $row2[imptotal]; 
   $impmade = $row2[impmade]; 
   $clicks = $row2[clicks]; 
   $date = $row2[date]; 

/* Check if this impression is the last one and print the banner */ 

   if (($imptotal <= $impmade) AND ($imptotal != 0)) { 
       $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_banner SET active='0' WHERE bid='$bid'"); 
       $sql3 = "SELECT name, contact, email FROM ".$prefix."_bannerclient WHERE cid='$cid'"; 
       $result3 = $db->sql_query($sql3); 
       $row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result3); 
       $c_name = $row3[name]; 
       $c_contact = $row3[contact]; 
       $c_email = $row3[email]; 
       if ($c_email != "") { 
      $from = "$sitename <$adminmail>"; 
      $to = "$c_contact <$c_email>"; 
      $message = ""._HELLO." $c_contact:\n\n"; 
      $message .= ""._THISISAUTOMATED."\n\n"; 
      $message .= ""._THERESULTS."\n\n"; 
      $message .= ""._TOTALIMPRESSIONS." $imptotal\n"; 
      $message .= ""._CLICKSRECEIVED." $clicks\n"; 
      $message .= ""._IMAGEURL." $imageurl\n"; 
      $message .= ""._CLICKURL." $clickurl\n"; 
      $message .= ""._ALTERNATETEXT." $alttext\n\n"; 
      $message .= ""._HOPEYOULIKED."\n\n"; 
      $message .= ""._THANKSUPPORT."\n\n"; 
      $message .= "- $sitename "._TEAM."\n"; 
      $message .= "$nukeurl"; 
      $subject = "$sitename: "._BANNERSFINNISHED.""; 
      mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); 
       } 
   } 
    $showbanners = "<a href=\"banners.php?op=click&bid=$bid\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$imageurl\" border=\"0\" alt='$alttext' title='$alttext'></a>"; 
    }

Then we make the banner SHOW by adding this to the header.html

Code:

        <td width "40%" height="110" background="themes/fisubsilver/images/cellpic_bkg.jpg" align="right">$showbanners &</td>

Now on most of your "typical" themes. The banners are simply displayed by this code in the theme.php

Code:

    if ($banners == 1) {
	include("banners.php");}

No, not advertising banner, I mean both of them, sorry. I just wanted to shrink it down to about half, but couldn't figure out how to do it. Like the WHOLE table on top.

*EDIT

Okay I decided to stick with the height it's at because I finally made a decent top logo, eheh. Now I just need to logo.gif and the banner to line up so I get a straight line.

mikem · #4 (**permalink**) 04-19-2003, 10:58 PM

can you give us a link please?

Sorry, I'm still not on the same page you are.
First Banners are Banners.
Logos are Logos.
Banners are not Logos and Logos are not Banners. Make sure we're clear on that.

All the info for the HEADER, or the "place" where the Banner and Logo are displayed is in the header.html file in the Helius folder.

I was just about to reply to say don't worry about it.

What I meant was cut down on the space between the top of the page and the Top Bar. In other words Just cut down on the HEIGHT of the graphics on the top of the page.

mikem · #6 (**permalink**) 04-19-2003, 11:19 PM

ok header.html again

Code:

        <td width="60%" height="110" background="themes/Helius/images/topbg2.gif">[img]themes/Helius/images/logo.gif[/img]</td>
        <td width="40%" height="110" background="themes/Helius/images/topbg2.gif">$showbanners &</td>

that height="110" is how "tall" the top area is. Both instances define the height of that table.

even if i have my "Banners Options
Activate Banners in your site?" in the preferences menu set to NO
the baners are still displayed next to the logo when using HeliusGray & Helius Themes

does anybody else have this problem ?

Problem?
That is how we designed our 6.5 themes.
To display the banner in the header to the right of the logo.
Is this a problem?
We had a tremendous amount of requests for the banners to be next to the logo, so we made it happen to please everyone.

Ok I see now..
OK ya'll get this file and replce your theme.php with it for the helius theme. Let me know if it works. Trun off banners in your Preferences and they should go away now.
