    So let me start off by saying im no professional web designer. Just a hobby so I don't know a lot of the advanced stuff.. Basically I have no php knowledge. I just had amember install and I am slowly learning how to use it.

    Anyway, I would like to customize my php pages to include my logo etc. I have the newer version and i read i have to edit the layout.html file. This is where I am lost. I have tried to read the manual and it didnt help. Ideally I would like to get all of the pages to look like they actually belong in my website. Here is a site I pulled off of these forums as an example of what I want.

    Here everytime you log in and try to register etc its still the same theme throughout and thats what I want.

    I will settle for now with help on the layout.html file

    You need to simply place you header code like this example: right under the <body> tag and above the {if $config.lan etc.


    <body>

    <center>
    <img src="/amember/header.gif" width="395" height="53">
    <center>


    {if $config.lang.display_choice}{* Display Language choice if this option enabled *}

    What I would do for simplicity sake is copy your header graphic to the amember directory as I did in the example: header.gif

    Hope this helps...I am also not a coder and the best I could do was get my logo at the top of all pages...the menu stuff is trickier...

    Yes this helps, I will try it out. I just get confused by all the crazy php language going on.. Different language to me..
