Adding A Custom Content To Templates In Phpbb3

To start

When editing any template file I recommend editing in notepad. Save all files before any edits and make backups. All these edits can be made via the ACP or you can download the files from your fftp and edit that way. The following works on any style.

Adding a custom table

Many forums choose to use a table in the header rather than a side table. Adding this is relatively easy. Any 1/2/3 cell table can be added and codes for these can be found here on RPG D. You have a choice between having any content on every page or just the index page. Let's start with the index page first.

Go into your acp-styles-templates-index body

Find-

Add your table code above this line on a fresh line.

If you wish your content to appear on every page of the forum do the following

go to your acp-styles-templates-custom header html

Find-

Add your table code below this line on a fresh line.

Adding custom content to the overall footer

Very simple, rule of thumb do not add anything below

Simply add new content such as a chat box at the very start of your overall footer. This prevents table alignment being corrupted.

Remember, never edit your template files with out backing them up before hand.
