Changing the background colour
« on: August 30, 2003, 08:51:42 PM »		 Reply with quote
Hi, I'm new to this forum and YABBse.

I have a board at http://redboards.cjb.net and wonder if someone could help me out.

I'm using YABB Se default template and I want to change the backgound (background of pages on forum) to black. How do I go about doing this?

Any help would be great!!!

Thanks in advance

You might try looking around in the template vault at http://boardmod.yabbforum.com/templates/templatevault.php

I kinda tried this but I would rather find out how I can change the background by simply editing the template I already have, thanks for the post however!

To change the color, just go to the admin area, then click "Edit Template" then change the <body bgcolor="" tag to say bgcolor="#000000"

Still, you should go take a look around the Template Vault.  It might give you some ideas.. unless you are comfortable with html.. (or better yet, use CSS for your template.)

in your Template.php look for

<body text="#000000" link="#0033ff" bgcolor="#f5f5f5">

and change the bgcolor to black

bgColor=#000000

Firstly thanks A.M.A for your help it worked beautifully!

I've been updating other colors on my forum i am getting the hang a bit of it now but I wasn't sure how I changed the blue coloured background behind the home help search etc icons to a different colour?

Any help would be great!

I did I changed this colour in the forum template, however it changed wrong part. it changed the windows in my admin page (except credits) to the colour I had chosen.

Please note that I am editing the forum colours using the Forum Template link in my admin page, I cannot change the template.php file as my board was set up on redboards. (http://redboards.cjb.net)

More help would be much appreciated A.M.A

Of course if you want to have more control, you should be using CSS.

Sorry .. I should checked your site first. You are using 1.4.0 it is strongly recommended to upgrade to the newest version 1.5.4
Btw color (#afc6db) still unchanged in your template, you may changed it in another place .. but am not sure about the 1.4.0's code, I was talking about the latest version on my replies.

You might want to remove the link to your site from this board, otherwise anyone could just go to your board and give themselves an admin account..
