main page blocks problem and smillies

SpiderGhost · **main page blocks problem and smillies -** 07-14-2003, 05:50 PM

hello , my problem is.. in the main page of the site there's messages the admins put like news or updates on the site
and under it there's latest 5 forum messages , whenever an admin makes a new "message" the entire block goes down and its getting really low , now i was wondering if there's a way to make the blocks on the main page (there's also a shout box) to be above the messages module because i want people to see it without having to scroll down

my second problem is adding smillies to the forum .. i went to the forums control panel and clicked on add new smily pak and the drop down menu didnt have any options even tho i uploaded one to my site.. i could really use some help on how to add new smiles to my forums
thanks alot for the help! :mrgreen:

find this in header.php

Code:

if ($home == 1) {
    message_box();
    blocks(Center);
}

and change it to

Code:

if ($home == 1) {
    blocks(Center);
    message_box();
}

this will put center up blocks above the messages

alright i did that , thanks alot for the help

does this affect the "add story " feature as well? if not how do i make that feature be under the main blocks?

Don't think it affects that one, so you want to have it this order:
Blocks
News
Messages??

Sorry but that will require some modification because the module display isn't defined in header.php but in index.php so you will need to modify it and it will require modding to core files.
You need also some php experience because I don't have the time to make all the modding for you
