Question Displaying an image at the top of a Joomla Forum setup

Hello all, I know this isnt an official support forum but I hope someone can help.

I would hope im not the first person to ask this, but basically all I want to do is display an image (in the same place at all times) on my Kunena 1.5.11 forum just above where it says Welcome <username>.

Would this be possible, could someone please point me in the right direct to how I'd go about getting an image displayed here?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give me.

Best regards

Luke

G'day, ywncyber, and welcome to Kunena.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to place an image below the menu tabs and before the "box" that displays "Welcome <username>" Is that right?

I should imagine that what you want to do is feasible. Here's a couple of references that, even though their topics may seem puzzling to you, you might find them useful:

• Move search box right of "welcome guest"
• Remove avatar and space completely! Integrated with CB
• Change Register/Login Links

In summary, I would suggest you might add the image by changing the file ../components/com_kunena/template/default/plugins/profilebox/profilebox.php

There are probably a few other other ideas, I'm sure, that others would have that are probably better than mine. Good luck.

Thanks for your response, I have tried this and think I know where to edit.. i have one problem, the file will not allow me to edit it (components/com_kunena/template/default/plugin/profilebox/profilebox.php) - I've tried to CHMOD it 777 but it wont let me do that either!

Any ideas how I could manage to edit it?

You edit the file, like you edit any file, on your PC and then you replace the version on your website with the version you've just edited. Have you ever heard of FTP?

yeah thats what im saying, im using FlashFXP. Right clicking that file choosing edit, editing the line I want, it then asks if I want to upload - but I dont have permissions to overwrite or edit the existing profilebox.php file,

I've tried to CHMOD it to 777 in order to edit it, and it wont physically let me change its CHMOD permissions either.

Any ideas?

The file seems to have owned by Apache in your setup. The only two ways to change permissions from the files that aren't owned by you are:

1) become root and do it with administrator permissions
2) do it from a web page (simple php script or maybe there's a component for Joomla to do it?)
